Pilates for Spinal Cord Injury and Gait:

In 2020, I joined a case study project led by Elizabeth Larkam & Madeline Black where 30 Pilates teachers engaged in 6-week case studies and submitted their reports for a collaborative publication on the effects of Pilates programming on different health conditions like osteoporosis, Parkinson’s disease, Long COVID, etc. 

Naturally, I studied one of my SCI clients and contributed the chapter on “Pilates and Spinal Cord Injuries: Effect on Gait.”

These brainstorm-like notes are NOT included in the publication, but feel incredibly important for those looking to implement a similar program. I hope this article helps you consider your client cases with more strategic planning.
