Appi Pilates Matwork Certification – L1
About The Course
This course is designed by physiotherapists specifically for those working in the field of rehabilitation. APPI have analysed all 34 traditional Matwork Pilates exercises, and broken them down into a step-by-step guide from day one pain right through to elite level sport. Most importantly, every stage has a clinical reason as to why you should choose that exercise for your client.
We look at all types of pathology, movement patterns, neuro-muscular timing and neural pathomechanics to underpin the use of each and every exercise in the program. The traditional Pilates repertoire is broken down into clearly defined levels to ensure a standard, gradual progression towards normal functional movement is achieved. Scientific evidence on movement dysfunction, integrated musculofascial patterns, pelvic stability and functional movement retraining form the theoretical foundation for the APPI curriculum.

Matwork Level One
The foundation level. During this course you will develop a solid foundation for Pilates teaching, using the five key Pilates elements of the APPI Pilates approach and learn a variety of beginner level movements addressing lumbo-pelvic stability, postural education, correct movement patterning and body awareness. You will also review recent research on spinal stabilisation and pelvic stability and apply this to the APPI beginner series of Pilates movements.
You will be taught sixteen movements for training lumbo-pelvic, scapulo-thoracic and cervical stabilisation through a mixture of observation, self-participation and practice teaching. Either as a group, or in your own time you will asses the clinical application of the Pilates movements at the time of their teaching to greater understand how these can be applied to patients and clients after the course, whilst reviewing case studies and treatment plans.
