To work safely and effectively with older people, it is important to know the principles of ‘practice-science’.

This knowledge includes the physiological basis of exercise and how it can be incorporated into exercise; the body’s functional systems and how they are interconnected; the skeletal and muscular skeleton of the body and how they are interconnected with other systems to perform movement.

There is also a need to be aware of the normal ageing process and the positive effects of the exercises.

Our Senior Pilates Instructor course gives students a meaningful summary and knowledge of these areas.
