Advanced Assessment 1 covers head, neck spine and pelvis. This course will provide the teacher with basic skills in a static and dynamic postural assessment. The focus will be structural alignment in functional activities (squatting, walking, rolling and reaching). Emphasis on how Pilates exercises can influence asymmetries of the head, neck, trunk, pelvis and extremities. Amy says "Advanced Assessment 1 is a much deeper review of the spine and extremities, biomechanics and functional relational anatomy/neuroanatomy as it pertains to movement. This course will assist the practitioner to observe movement in greater detail to provide effective cues and assist the client toward efficient movement patterns." Come and learn skills to maximize outcome and increase professionalism in practice.
