Explore the benefits of working on the Reformer for the older adult in this interactive workshop, developed by the Merrithew® team. Despite decrements associated with aging, the ability to adapt to endurance and strength training is well documented.

Modifications of exercises and considerations for limited mobility and strength issues are discussed with a view to enhance core stability, increase lean muscle mass, increase range of motion and improve body awareness.
Learning objectives

Understand how movements may need to be modified for older adults
Discover why STOTT PILATES exercise is beneficial in cases of restricted mobility
Learn cues and corrections for safety and effectiveness
