Additional Information

Muscle mass decreases at a rate of about 3-8% per decade after age 30, and possibly faster after age 60. Loss of muscle mass and resulting loss of core and extremity strength may be contributing factors to postural changes and decreased function in older adults. Systematically progressing core training in an exercise program is vital to the health and wellness of older adults. This course applies Pilates-based principles in conjunction with functional movement patterns to maximize core activation and improve functional carry over. Participants will learn techniques that facilitate activation of the core and appropriate modifications based on client needs. Ultimately, participants will improve their exercise prescription strategies, and be more effective at instructing and implementing exercises to improve core strength, posture, and function.

this was a pilates course, and although it addressed posture with pilates the course name did not really describe the course accurately.

dr. michelle milner was very well organized, both with her slides and lecture, and incorporated videos smoothly which amped up to the online education.
