Yeh sorry about that, got me at a bad moment.
I get very frustrated when people provide opinion as if it were fact when it is far from it. Very poorly educated people lecturing to vulnerable therapists. All's it does is create an ethos of mysticism.
Avoiding well versed facts and replacing them with strange, uneducated guesses does not further our industry.
Confident can convince many.

Thanks for your input.
Just interested in the different methods out there.
Some witch doctors are actually pretty good. I went to one and he fixed my injury in 15 minutes. I went to 3 different professionals prior without success.
Obviously you have to weed out the good from the bad, which is what im trying to do. Thanks agan

Saint, I think you need to stick to the mainstream courses.
The man is a witch doctor.

Thanks for your feedback. This is why I was keen to get people's thoughts.It looks like no one on this forum has done the course which also says something about it

I would question this straight away. Considering the elite dancers wouldn't get on the spring loaded machines for many months, even when they are completely injury free, I would question how an injured person can skip the mat based work and go straight to the high end of pilates - that being machine based work.
Sounds horribly like money making pilates, not protocol based pilates. Pilates is supposed to begin with basic control and then gradually progress to long lever extension on core control.
Then again, the physio's tend to skip anything that takes time to provide a quick buck. And those machine based exercises are pretty sexy to the clients. But, they won't be doing pilates. They will just be doing exercises on pilates machines.

Thanks for replying Biggins.
The course is by DMA clinical pilates. Basically you work with a physio who does an injury assessment on a client and then provides me with a program that I take them through. All the rehab is conducted on spring loaded machines. I thought it might be good to use alongside the massage that I do. It also wouldnt be as physically taxing as full time massage. Thanks

I would only suggest to do one of the longest running courses you can find. Before this though, you need to ask your self what you are doing it for? Do you want to train dancers? Do basic core work? Just do some pilates yourself? What do you want to do with it?

I thought MFR was a standard part of the HLT package? Hence the workshops are limited these days. I would look up Rob Granter as he would know what is happening down there. Australasion College of Soft Tissue Therapy
