Tnx very much
Really helps me teach!
This was the first course I purchased and completed. It has really helped me in my teaching. I have a client who was struggling with weak neck muscles. Following your advice and techniques, she is starting to build strength to her neck and is becoming stronger in her Pilates practice with me, which is great to see. Thank you. Anne (UK)
Recommend
An informative course which was well presented demonstrating innovative ideas for new exercises to strenghten the neck. Neck issues are SO common in today’s population – so this course will definitely come in handy when teaching Pilates clients. The course notes are clear and descriptive.
A suggestion: it would be very helpful if real clients with actual neck issues could be used as models in the course to demonstrate the actual cheat patterns instead of a co-teacher who mimics the cheat patterns.
All in all, I would highly recommend this course – it has given me new insight, new ideas and stimulated my interest in helping clients with neck weakness, headaches and general neck pain.
