Dr Martin's book provides a theoretical framework and specific
progressive exercises in the Pilates environment in their work with
those individuals who have asymmetries of the spine, ribcage and
pelvis associated with conditions such as scoliosis. This book
helps Pilates instructors who want to move beyond basic
certification to work safely and effectively with those who have
structural and functional asymmetries. The many musculoskeletal
ramifications of spinal asymmetry are explained, based on relevant
anatomy and current theories of causes of deformity, thus throwing
light on an often confusing topic. A developed framework offers
practical solutions that will further the body of knowledge in the
specialized education of Pilates instructors by enabling them to
learn a safe and systematic method of instructing those with
scoliosis. This framework helps instructors administer
individualized Pilates exercise progressions. These comprise:
creating a client profile for the individual; developing concepts
and considerations for effective exercise delivery and execution;
and presentation of those exercise progressions. In addition, two
important aspects not yet found within the Pilates field are
addressed. The first is the importance of the significant role,
outlining the scope of practice of the Pilates instructor in the
care of those with spinal asymmetries. And secondly is to identify
separate approaches necessary for differing populations at distinct
times of life. Stages such as youth, and adult each require a
certain approach. The decades of young adult, mid-life, and elder
years present special challenges due to the co-morbidities
associated with the adult with scoliosis.
