Learn how an unstable device like the Balansit can be used to encourage the user to control the pelvis in particular planes while moving.

This course will explore how using a device like the Balansit can facilitate overall improvement in Functional Movement. This course will also take traditional Pilates exercises, both Mat and Apparatus and apply them to the Balansit

During this course, participants will explore the concept of creating stability through improving mobility, as well as, the role that Disassociation plays in enhancing stability training.

• Balance Training will be utilised as a means to effectively enhance motor learning and improved performance.
• Techniques such as Sequential Training, Proper Queuing, Regression/Progression, as well as an understanding of the concept of Tolerance and Effective Loading will be provided as a means to assist instructors in teaching complex multi-plane movements.
• The “Four Pillars of Movement” and their relationship to efficient performance will be the corner stone to teaching Functional Movement. Faulty or inefficient Movement Patterns will be identified in regards to postural type.
• Understand the Anatomy of the Pelvis, understand the Pelvic Rings.
• Learn to Functionally Assess the Pelvis, and understand how the relationship between the Pelvis and Femurs can affect function.
• Assess Motor Control, Stability and Endurance of the Pelvis. These will be the basis of all exercises in the Balansit Course.
• Therefore, the focus of the exercises presented will be on Motor Control, Disassociation and Eccentric Activation for Greater Strength and Control through Low Threshold, Slow Movement Training.
• Students will also be given information for the structure, as well as, the queuing techniques to facilitate a group Balansit class.
• This course will also start to identify Direct Clinical Deficiencies, such as Control of the Pelvis, Gait Pattern Dysfunction, 3 D Sling Deficiencies and Compromised Function leading to Pelvic Compensation.  Detailed and Specific Exercises that address the Correction of these deficiencies will be covered.
