Description

Put your foundational Pilates skills and biomechanics knowledge to work to learn simple and effective strategies to prevent and heal Diastasis and dysfunctions that go along with the unraveling of this connective tissue.

Learn sequences for healing and advancing the DRA client and strategies on how to best work in conjunction with doctors and physical therapist will also be discussed.

Test: Great cues, assessment tools and building of the foundation that clients need to get back to movement. I would love to see more work with clients as they progress from the fundamentals. Thank you to the model for letting us share in her journey back to healthy movement.

Jacqueline Allen-Magers Very interesting

CHRISTINA JEZIORSKI I really enjoyed the workshop. The material was useful for myself and my clients. Very detailed, great cues, and I like the use of a \'novice\' client.

Emily Penrod Hi I was at the conference in Phoenix where I took care of class. I am still a student but I\'ve been in bodywork for 20 years. Because your class I found a pelvic floor physical therapist and now I am a true advocate for DRA I am checking everybody I can get my hands on.

Lauren Cannady This was very informative. I really enjoyed learning about the healing process of diastasis. The speed was a little harder for note taking but very digestible material.

Leila Pepper I thought many of the concepts were very beneficial in working with clients. I would have loved to see more exercises on the equipment and perhaps more progression as the client starts to heal. Maybe a Part 2 could be offered?

Juliana Tenorio Really good workshop! Thank you, Jennifer!

Ryan Bailey Great course.

Mischa Decker Excellent course- thank you for all of the excellent information! The videos were great and the pop-ups super helpful!

Jennifer Gianni Hi J - Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it. People have expressed that they want to see more of this work so I am working on another DRA video. They take a while to film and edit because of all the separate sessions we are filming and then editing together. I will look at the current video and see if I can put some more info up on the screen about the direction and pressure of the smartspine domes. Perhaps I can also film a Pilates Show on this in dec. Love--Jen

Jennifer Jeha I really liked this workshop. I have several clients with DRA and it has helped me to know how to proceed with them. I loved the release work. The only improvement would be to have the instructor say which direction she was moving the smart spine domes (compressing in; moving up, down, etc.)

Dagmar Riddick Great workshop, lots of helpful information.

Nicole Skaife Great information and explanation of RDA and techniques!

This workshop offers 4 PMA CECs upon completion and passing of the required quiz.
