I am SO excited to finally share not one, but TWO things I've been working on for what feels like forever!
First up: Pilates for Rehabilitation, 2nd Edition
After years (yes, years) of updating, refining, and expanding, the second edition of my book is ready to pre-order! Official release date is December 9th.
What's new in the second edition?
✅ Full-color photos
✅ Updated research supporting Pilates for rehabilitation
✅ 56 NEW exercises for a total of 161 exercises
✅ 11 NEW injury pathologies for a total of 42 injury pathologies, presented in easy-to-navigate two-page spreads
✅ Two NEW chapters on the elbow and wrist, and chronic pain conditions and neurological disorders
I have worked very hard to make the 2nd edition even more useful for Pilates instructors and physical therapists alike. Step-by-step instructions are provided for every exercise (both apparatus and mat work) with indications, contraindications, and primary muscles involved so you know exactly when each exercise is appropriate. Variations and progressions let you adapt based on where your client is in their rehabilitation journey or the severity of their condition.
Section 3 has been completely revamped with easy-to-read tables for all 42 pathologies, organized by injury and anatomical region. Each 2-3 page spread gives you everything at a glance: what it is, causes and risk factors, symptoms, precautions and contraindications, goals, and recommended exercises from the book. It's designed to be your quick-reference guide when you need answers fast, giving you the flexibility to create truly personalized programs.
And here's a bonus: earn continuing education credits! A CE exam is available separately or as part of a package with the book.
to hit your doorstep by the December 9th release date!
And second:
BASI's Pilates for Injuries & Pathologies Course On Demand
So many of you have been asking for this for years! While I'd love to work with all of you in person at a live course, I know that's not always possible due to location, schedules, or finances. So I'm thrilled to announce that a recorded version of the entire 3-day course is now available on demand—it's the next best thing to being there in person!
Clients with back pain, neck tension, or post-surgical conditions walk into every studio. This course gives you the tools to confidently adapt, modify, and teach Pilates safely so you can safely and confidently serve every body that walks through your door.
The on-demand version launches November 1st, and when you pre-order now, you'll save $150 on the full course bundle! The course is divided into six modules—Lumbar Spine, Cervical & Thoracic Spine, Shoulder Complex, Hip, Knee, and Foot & Ankle.
Already taken the course but need a refresher on just one area? You can purchase individual modules too (see images below).
You'll be able to stream the lectures and exercise demonstrations from anywhere, on any device, and you'll get updated lecture manuals and exercise supplements. You'll be able to apply the new knowledge and exercises immediately in your teaching. Plus, your purchase includes access to an online Zoom session with me where you can ask questions (schedule TBD).
These projects have been a true labor of love, and I can't wait for you to dive in. I'm beyond excited to finally share these tools with you and see how they impact your work with clients. If you have any questions about either the book or the course, just hit reply—I'd love to hear from you!
