We will also discover how to build these movement concepts into a functional setting.

From optimising open-chain movement, through to developing motor control responses and building into ‘real-world’ situations, Pilates concepts and the equipment can be extremely helpful is providing a framework to support movement in people living with Neurological Disorders.
