STOTT PILATES® STOTT PILATES® The Shoulder Girdle: Reformer Programming for Stability & Function 2hr In-person Workshop
Sunday 24 August 2025 | STOTT PILATES® Lumbo-Pelvic Region: Reformer Programming for Stability & Function 2hr In-person Workshop | Christchurch Welder Events Centre
Be Pilates @ Christchurch, Welder Urban Oasis | 9.00am-11.00am | $185 including comprehensive workshop notes & GST.
The shoulder girdle is a complex structure that is subjected to stresses in everyday life and even more stress during extreme activities. In this lecture/demo-style workshop developed by the Merrithew® team, discover how Pilates programming on the Reformer can be ideal in a post-rehabilitative setting. First, explore the anatomy and biomechanics involved in the normal, healthy functioning of the shoulder girdle, then, discuss common abnormal or dysfunctional movement patterns that can result from injury or strain. Finally, learn how specially selected exercises on the Reformer can address these issues by creating awareness, stability and strength. Exercises are layered to restore functional mobility, then progress to work-hardening activities and performance enhancement.
