Pilates Equipment for Neuro Rehab is a 4-week live training series designed to help physical therapists use Pilates equipment with greater clarity, confidence, and clinical intent.

Most Pilates education focuses on exercises—what to do, how to sequence, and how to cue. But in a clinical setting, that often leaves a gap between knowing exercises and knowing how to apply them.

This workshop bridges that gap by helping you understand the equipment and, more importantly, how to use it clinically.

In this series, you’ll learn how to leverage key elements of Pilates equipment—such as spring tension, line of pull, suspension, and dynamic support—to address real movement challenges in neurological populations.

Each week, we’ll progress through the equipment (Tower, Reformer, Trapeze) in the same order it’s introduced in my clinical practice, covering:

• Equipment features that support kinesthetic learning and motor control

• Tried-and-true Pilates exercises adapted for both non-ambulatory and ambulatory neuro populations

• Practical modifications and progressions based on presentation and goals

• Effective use of equipment settings to influence load, support, and motor learning

• Safety considerations, common errors, and strategies for guarding and spotting

Live demonstrations, guided practice, case discussions, and co-treatment sessions are paired with pre-recorded content and a printed guidebook to support implementation.

By the end of the series, you’ll have a clear framework for using Pilates equipment in neuro rehab—and the confidence to apply it in your next treatment session.

This workshop is designed for neuro rehab clinicians who want to use Pilates equipment more intentionally in a rehabilitation setting.

You’ll benefit from this course if you are:

• A physical therapist working in neurological rehabilitation.

• Treating individuals with spinal cord injury, stroke, or other neurological conditions.

• Working in a clinic that has access to Pilates equipment (Reformer, Tower, Trapeze, or Chair).

• Getting into teaching Pilates - but struggled to apply it clinically.

• Currently using the equipment, but feel like you’re only scratching the surface; you default to the same few exercises (e.g., Leg press).

• Wanting more confidence in how to set up, modify, and progress exercises for different levels of injury or function.

• Looking for a clearer framework for deciding what to use, when, and why.

• Interested in improving patient engagement and motor learning through more intentional use of equipment.

After completing this workshop, you can expect to:

• Use Pilates equipment with greater confidence and clinical clarity.

• Move beyond a limited set of familiar exercises and expand your treatment options.

• Make more intentional decisions around setup, resistance, and positioning

• Adapt exercises more effectively across different neurological cases.

• Recognize and correct compensatory patterns more efficiently.

• Improve patient engagement through this dynamic, responsive intervention.

• Increase utilization of the equipment already available in your clinic.

• Apply what you learn immediately in your next treatment session.

We’ll meet on live calls every week, for four weeks - see below for live call schedule.

All sessions will be recorded and hosted in the workshop portal.

PDF handouts are available for download and note-taking througout the series.

Participants are encouraged to practice using their equipment with themselves during each call - or work through the work with the replay on their own time.

The course portal is available for participants to revisit forever (or until the internet dies).
