“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.” ~Joseph Pilates3
History of Pilates
• Joseph Pilates, 1883-1967
• Born in Germany
• Greek name
• Sick Child (asthma, rickets, rheumatic fever)
• Influence: yoga, gymnastics, circus, diving, boxing
4
History of Pilates• Lived in England and placed in Internment Camp
because of German heritage
• 1918 flu epidemic during WWI
� All of his trainees survived the epidemic
• “Pilates” originally called “Contrology”
� The mind controls the muscles
5
History of Pilates
• 1925, moved to America
• Opened “Contrology” in New York
• Dance community starting taking note of effects
“I’m 50 years ahead of my time.” ~ Joseph Pilates

Our body was designed for movement
Pilates is a MOVEMENTsystem
Thus, it is functional andeffective for rehabilitation
“[Pilates] develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures,
restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the
spirit.”
~Joseph Pilates
7
Pilates Enhances Rehabilitation~It masters the ability to teach our bodies how to move through space for
function and sport~
• Teaches dissociation of movement
• Stimulates slow motor recruitment > fast motor recruitment
• Strengthens eccentrically
• Increases ROM/flexibility: multi-planar and multi-joint
• Emphasizes movement initiated from core
• Increases lung capacity: diaphragmatic breathing
• Increases circulation
• Improves body awareness, coordination and precision of movement
• Establishes balance throughout the body
8
Pilates Principles• Centering
� powerhouse
� secondary powerhouse
� centerline
• Concentration
� mind/body connection
� focus on the task
9
Pilates Principles• Control
� neuromuscular coordination: harmonious interaction of muscles and CNS
� smooth and efficient movement patterns for safety
• Precision
� accuracy to accomplish the task
• Flow
� lightness of movement
� control of acceleration and deceleration (function!)
10
Pilates Principles• Breathing
� The most important principle
� Diaphragm muscle
� Inhalation- to open
� Exhalation- to close
� Consider rib/thoracic mobility
“Above all, learn how to breathe correctly.” ~ Joseph Pilates

Pilates Progression1. Center of Gravity
2. Base of Support
3. Surface Stability
4. Exercise Complexity
5. Rhythm and Tempo (pace)
“[Pilates] is not a fatiguing system of dull, boring, abhorred exercises repeated daily ‘ad-nauseam’.” ~ Joseph Pilates
13
Rehab Progression1. NWB
2. WB double support (static)
3. WB single support (static)
4. WB double support (dynamic)
5. WB single support (dynamic)
6. WB double support (ballistic)
7. WB single support (ballistic)
8. Sports Specific Training
14
Mobility with Stability• Mobility with stability is the KEY to healthy function
� FUNCTION: integrated, multi-planar movement that requires acceleration, deceleration and stabilization.
• Pilates is brilliant at teaching this concept
• Natural progression in childhood
1. mobility: flexibility, ROM
2. stability: neuromuscular control of movement, also termed motor control
3. mobility with stability = function!
15
Pain and StabilitySource: Kinetic Control (2011) by Commerford and Mottram
• Pain affects slow motor units more significantly than fast motor units
• Athletes can still generate power and speed
• 90% of sport world records broken by athletes with chronic or recurrent musculoskeletal problems
• In a pain-free state, the CNS is able to utilize a variety of motor control strategies to perform coordinated and efficient movement patterns
• In pain, subjects employ strategies of muscle recruitment normally reserved for high load function (lifting, pushing, throwing, jumping) and use these for normal low threshold, postural activities (Hodges et al, 2009)
16
Pain and Motor Control• Hodges and Tucker (2011) have proposed a new theory for pain adaptation:
1. Redistribution of muscle activity occurs within and between muscles
2. Altered mechanical behavior is present
3. Protection from further pain or injury is the main goal...at any cost
4. Changes occur at multiple levels of the motor system
5. Short-term benefits may have long-term consequences
• Take-away note from research: pain does not have a uniform effect
17
7 Pain DiscoveriesSource: Lorimer Moseley, Phd via The Pain Revolution (2017) and Explain Pain (2009)
1.Pain is Real, no matter what is causing it
2.Pain relies on context and cues - how does each person respond to cues?
3.Pain is about protection - the brain will protect tissue from pain
4.Pain and tissue state are poorly related - when the system no longer needs to protect, pain goes down EVEN when the tissue healing will continue
5.We are adaptable, bioplastic (not just the neuro system) learners
6.Movement is KING! - movement helps suppress pain and best way to recover
7.Understanding pain and retraining the system does actually work.18

The “Core” Muscles of Pilates
19
Thoracolumbar Fascia
20
Willard FH, Vlemming A, Schuenk MD, Denneels L, Schleip R. The thoracolumbar fascia: anatomy, function and clinical considerations. J Anat. 2012:221;507-536.
• Central point of “the girdle:” aponeurotic, fascia and retinaculum of L/S region.
• Helps with posture, load transfer & respiration• Irregular collagen for resist multi-planar stress• 3 layers: posterior, middle, anterior• High density of sympathetic nerves• Proprioceptive properties - joints only help in large movements• Tensile strength has been measured up to IkN• Deformation (flexion) of TL fascia = strain energy into tissue
21
Langevin HM, Fox JR, Koptiuch C, et al. Reduced thoracolumbar fascia shear strain in human chronic low back pain. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. 2011:12;203-215.
• 121 Subjects: 71 LBP, 50 No-LBP• Prone-lying motorized articulated table to simulate trunk flexion• TLF has various directions of pull for individual muscles• Dense connective tissue separated by “loose” areolar tissue -
dense layers move independently• Control Group- Layers move I and in opposite directions of each
other• LBP Group- Less motion between layers & 20% less shear strain• Overall less shear strain in males than females
22
Abdominal Muscles• Transverse Abdominis� Stabilization
• Internal Abdominal Oblique� Stabilization
� Rot/SB
• External Abdominal Oblique� Posterior Pelvic Tilt
� Rot/SB
• Rectus Abdominis� Posterior Pelvic Tilt
� Trunk flexion
23
Glute Muscles• Gluteus Maximus
� Hip Ext, Abd, ER
• Gluteus Medius
� Hip Abd, Stability
• Gluteus Minimus
� Hip Abd, Stability Assistant
24
12
Scapula Muscles
25
• Serratus Anterior� Stabilizes scapula� Protracts scapula
• Latissimus Dorsi� Depresses scapula� Extends, adducts, IR arm
• Lower trapezius� Stabilizes scapula� Depresses scapula
• Rhomboids� Stabilizes scapula� Retracts scapula
• Middle Trapezius� Retracts scapula� Stabilizes scapula
Other Key Muscles• Lumbar Multifidus� Segmental stabilizer of spine� Controls rotation/SB to opposite side, extender
• Diaphragm� Expands rib cage, increases intra-abdominal pressure� Separates lungs from abdomen

28
Wilke J, Krause F, Vogt L, Banzer W. What is
evidence-based about myofascial chains: a systematic
review. Arch of Phys Med and Rehab. 2016;97:454-61
• Fascia transmits tension/load and has nocioceptive and proprioceptive properties
• Spiral - strong connection between SA/Rhomboids• Spiral - Ext Oblique has aponeurtic extensions to contralateral In
Oblique• Lateral - strong connection of IT band to Glute Max/TFL• Back Functional - Lat & Glute Connect to TLF• Front Functional - Pec Major ot contralateral RA, Adductor longus
to contralateral rectus sheath• Back Superficial - Gastroc linked to Semimembranous, Hamstrings
linked to Erector• Front Superficial - No evidence to support
29
Pelvic Floor• Comprised of:� Muscular Diaphragm - Levator Ani + Coccygeus� Piriformis� Together, these elevate the pelvic floor
30
13
Local Stabilizers• Rotator Cuff• Deep Neck Flexors - Longus Capitus, Longus Colli• VMO - Vastus Medialis Oblique• Soleus
31
Muscle Roles• Local Muscle System: responsible for segmental stiffness and
decreasing excessive intersegmental motion. These maintain activity in the background for all motion. (TA, VMO, multifidus, foot intrinsics)
• Global Muscle System: produces ROM and control of load. These usually have a primary role of either:
1. Stability: external abdominal oblique2. Mobility: rectus abdominis, hamstrings, rectus femoris
• Multi-Task Muscles: these muscles act as a local stabilizer, global stabilizer and global mover (gluteus maximus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, internal abdominal oblique)
32
“...it is in principle a wrong approach to try to understand impairments of different parts of the motor system separately, without understanding the function of the motor system as a whole.” -
Vladimir Janda
The Body as a Whole System
33
Vladimir Janda• Czech neurologist and physiatrist
• Influenced by many (Bobath, Kendall, many MD’s)
• CNS is highly important to mediate pain because of neuromuscular imbalance
• Posture muscles - become tight with dysfunction
• Phasic muscles - become weak with dysfunction
• Created Upper Crossed and Lower Crossed Syndromes
34
Janda’s Philosophy• Sensorimotor System: the health and tone of the muscle system
reflects the state of the sensorimotor system because it receives input from the muscle system and the CNS
• Tonic and Phasic muscles are based on phylogenic development
� Tonic/Flexor muscles usually become TIGHT
� Phasic/Extensor muscles usually become WEAK
- Those muscles that work eccentrically against gravity and develop later during development.
35
The Janda Approach1. Normalize the periphery: joint mobility, biomechanics,
swelling control
2. Restore muscle imbalance: lengthen the tight antagonistic to restore strength in the weak agonist
3. Increase afferent input to facilitate reflexive stabilization:create automatic coordinated movement
4. Increase endurance in coordinated movement patterns: repetition, low intensity, high volume
36
14
Tonic Muscles• Become tight with dysfunction
SCM, scalenesUpper trapezius, levator scapulaePectoralis major/minorHamstrings, adductors, iliopsoasTFLPiriformis, erector spinaeGastroc
37
Phasic Muscles• Become weak with dysfunction
PeronealsVMOGlutesAbdominalsDeep neck flexorsSerratus anterior, lower trapezius
38
Upper Crossed Syndrome
39
Lower Crossed Syndrome
40
“Muscles We Don’t See in the Mirror” Syndrome
• Adults rely on vision for body awareness and proprioception
• Common muscles that require attention in rehab:
� Soleus
� Scapular muscles
� Glutes
41
Specific Injuries42
15
Common Links to Pain and Injury
• Previous Injury
� this is the main risk factor for injury, especially within the last 12 months
• Poor dissociation of movement
� especially the scapula and hip complex
• Compensation patterns
� upper trap, TFL, VL, hip flexors
• “Muscles We Don’t See in the Mirror” Syndrome
43
Foot and Ankle• Ankle instability / chronic sprains� Hip stability just as important as ankle stability
• Achilles Tendonosis� Eccentric training to remodel the tendon from type III collagen to
type I
• Plantar fasciitis� Restore the windlass mechanism
This region requires foot intrinsic and eccentric training
EXERCISES:
44
Alfredson H, Pietila T, Jonsson P, Lorentzon R. Heavy-load eccentric calf muscle training for the treatment of chronic achilles tendinosis. Am J Sports Med. 1998;26: 360-366.
• Type I collagen- strong, resists tension, stretch and arranged orderly, likes to form strong bundles
• Type III collagen- delicate, fabric-like and doesn’t form strong bundles for force production. “Gooey” tendon
45
Knee• PFPS� Optimal hip mechanics are key
• IT Band Syndrome� IT band may be considered tendon of glute max, based on histology
research� VMO to balance glute max
• ACL - pre and post surgical• TKA - pre and post surgical
This region requires glute and VMO training
EXERCISES:
46
Fairclough J, Hayashi K, Toumi H, et al. The functional anatomy of the iliotibial band during flexion and extension of the knee: implications for understanding iliotibial band syndrome. J Anat 2006;208:309–316
• IT Band - thickened part of the fascia lata that travels down the leg to insert around the LFE and Gerdy’s tubercle
• Gluteus maximus has a significant insertion into the IT band • This study suggests that the IT band could be considered a
tendon of the gluteus maximus• Histology research supports this theory - the tissue from the
hip to the LFE is similar to tendon and the tissue from the LFE to Gerdy’s tubercle is similar to ligament.
47
Hip• THA - pre and post surgery
• Hip fractures
• Myofascial Pain - poor dissociation and proprioception of hip complex
This region requires core and glute training
EXERCISES:
48
16
Back Pain• Low Back Pain
� Post surgical: discectomy, laminectomy, fusion
� Lumbar multifidi atrophy with chronic LBP
• Scoliosis
• Postural Pain
This region requires glute, core and scapular training
EXERCISES:

• Studied Muscle Structure, Quality & Activation • CSA & Fatty Infiltration of Multifidus, ES• Chronic Pain (31) - Continuous & Non-Continuous
• Body Mass Index Sig Higher (Cont LBP)• Increased Metabolic Activity of Muscles (both groups)
• Recurrent Pain (24) & Non-Continuous LBP• Smaller fat infiltration and fat CSA
• A Spectrum of LBP Exists

Periera I, Quieroz B, Loss J, Amorim C, Sacco I.TrunkMuscle EMG During Intermediate Pilates Mat Exercises in Beginner Healthy and Chronic Low Back Pain Individuals. J Manip Phys Ther. 2017; 40(5):350-357.• 32 untrained subjects: 19 healthy, control group (no LBP > 7 days in 6
months) and 13 non-specific LBP
• EMG of multifidus, ext abdominal oblique, internal abdominal oblique, RA
• Measured activity of dead bug, single leg stretch, criss-cross (Mat Pilates)
• Criss-cross- highest activation of int/ext obliques compared to RA.
• Multifidus- similar activation in both groups. Hypothosized to be from neutral pelvis position.
51
Shoulder• Rotator Cuff - surgical and non-surgical� Internal rotation may be more important than external rotation
• Scapular dyskinesia• Shoulder impingement� Posture? Rotator cuff laziness? Structural?
• Myofascial Pain - poor dissociation and proprioception of shoulder complex
This region requires scapular stabilization and RC training
EXERCISES:
52
Wickham J, Pizzari T, Balster S, Ganderton C, Watson L. The variable roles of the upper and lower subscapularis during shoulder motion. Clin Biomech. 2014;29:885-891.
• The subscapularis has lower and upper fibers, each having a distinct nerve supply. They can act independently of each other.
• EMG studies - during flexion, abduction and ER the lower fibers are extremely active
• The lower fibers are important to counter-balance the tension of the infraspinatus AND resist the shear forces of the deltoid as the arm goes overhead
53
Cervical• Cervical pain
• Deep neck flexor training is important
• Cervical fusion - pre and post surgery
• Myofascial Pain - usually associated with scapular myofascial pain
This region requires deep neck flexor and scapular training
EXERCISES:

Jull GA, Falla D, Vicenzino B, Hodge PW. The effect of therapeutic exercise on activation of the deep cervical flexor muscle in people with chronic neck pain. Man Ther. 2009;14(6):696-701.
• Training the deep neck flexors, longis capitus and longis coli, has a direct correlation with decreased neck pain
55
Jull GA, Falla D. Does increased superficial neck flexor activity in the craniocervical flexion test reflect reduced deep flexor activity in people with neck pain?. Man Ther. 2016;25:43-7.
• Craniocervical flexion - not a role of SCM/ant scalene
• EMG study- surface electrodes of SCM/ant scalene and nasopharyngeal catheter on longus capitus/colli.
• 32 femailes (18-60) with history of non-specific chronic neck pain, >6 mos, no UE neurological signs
• Inverse relationship of SCM:Deep Neck Flexors - higher SCM activity, lower deep neck flexor activity. Ant Scalene did not have signficant relationship.
