6 Pilates Principles

Breathing

Concentration

Centering

Control

Precision

Fluidity of MovementSlide6

Breathing

Diaphragmatic

Improve efficiency of lung function and blood oxygenation

Increase mental focus

Improve ability to relax

Increase overall ribcage mobility

Encourage efficient exhalation

Assist posture, musculoskeletal function and movement patternsSlide7

Concentration

All moves should be done as conscious acts

Conducive environment

Calming mood

Soothing background music

Don’t let the mind wander, keep focused on the movementSlide8

Centering

Abdominals should contract before initiating any movement

Exercises centered on “Powerhouse”

Use proper alignment and formSlide9

Control

Mind and body control

Slow and controlled movements

Constant speed

No jerky or meaningless movements

Several muscle groups engaged Slide10

Precision

Body Awareness

Appropriate placement of limbs

Correct alignment

Execute each exercise as best you can

“Honor every movement”Slide11

Fluidity of Movement

Continuous motion

Smooth and slow movement

No jarring repetitions

Energy flows through body evenly

No beginning or end

Body constantly in motion during each exercise/transitionSlide12

Pilates and Rehabilitation

Start integrating this principles into your interventions

Encourage patients to implement these with their HEP

"The

principles of Pilates are awesome for rehabilitation, but if they aren't used in conjunction with proper therapy techniques it could aggravate the injury

.”

Benefits of PilatesSlide13

Benefits of Pilates

Core strength and good posture

Balance and Coordination

Mobility and learning

to move

efficiently

Joint flexibility and long

lean

muscles

Create an evenly conditioned

body

Gentle

but

challenging as well as adaptable

Refreshing mind and body

workoutSlide14

Pilates Rehab for TKA and THA

More THA and TKAs are being performed

Shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery

Less invasive surgical techniques allow rapid rehabilitation

Pre-op and rapid post-op rehab may improve patient’s balance and coordination as well as gait adaptations

Proposed advantages of utilizing Pilates:

Maximizing pre-op function

Develop a pathway for return to outpatient exercise

Promote whole body approach to post-op rehabSlide15

Pilates for Rehab Purpose

1. Introduce Pilates into orthopedic community as a safe way to restore function

2. Describe an improved program suited to all levels of skill that can be continued as a long term maintenance program

3. Review a series of patients having completed the rehab programs at 1 year follow-up

4. Pilates can be a viable option for rehabilitationSlide16

Pilates Field Observation Facts

38

Patients (30

Women, 8

Men)

THA

22 Patients, average age 46 years

Pre-Operative Diagnoses:

16 Osteoarthritis

4 Osteonecrosis of femoral head

1 Hip Dysplasia

1 Lupus

Erythematous

TKA

17 Patients, average age 55 years

Preoperative Diagnoses

14 Osteoarthritis

3 Inflammatory ArthritisSlide17

Exercise Regimen

Pre-Operative Regimen

Adapted to meet pt needs

Pre-op exercise 3-4x/week for 1-2 hours

Exercises recommended: Week 2-6 in Tables

Post-Operative Regimen

Early post-op exercises should be

modified and begin 2 weeks after hospital D/C

3-4x/week for a minimum of 1 hour

Progression can occur according to pain levels, quality of movement and as

the MD

permits

Pilates can be an enjoyable approach that can be molded into a maintenance programSlide18

Pilates Rehab Protocol for TKASlide19

Pilates Rehab Protocol for THASlide20

Pilates Field Observation Results

1 year follow-up by charts and phone calls

25 Extremely Satisfied w/ outcome

13 Satisfied w/ outcome

73% of women continued after rehab

Advantages:

Pre-op exercises to improve function

Implement exercises into HEP

Adaptability of exercises for joint precautions and restrictionsSlide21

Chronic Low Back Pain

70% of adults suffer from LBP at some point

90% of LBP cases seem to be non-specific

15% of people develop LBP and have persistent pain one year after initial episode

Exercise therapy is one of the most common recommended treatments for chronic LBPSlide22

Clinical Pilates

Theory based exercise regimen founded on rationale of improving segmental stability and functional movement

Adapted from traditional Pilates by physiotherapists

Described as an exercise based on the Pilates Method adapted for rehabilitation purposes

Treatment for chronic LBP using

C

linical Pilates have shown a reduction in pain and improvement in function compared to no tx, but no significant difference compared to other formsSlide23

Pilates and LBP Pilot Study

15 Participants

Skilled Clinical Pilates Exercise Program

Spring resistance used with Reformer

Strength, Endurance and Stability Exercises

1 hour 2x/week for 6 weeks

Home Exercise Program

Floor Exercises

30 minutes 3x/week for 6 weeks

New HEP for 26 weeks after skilled interventionSlide24

LBP Exercises

Pelvic Tilt

Bridge with Pelvic Tilt

Chest Lift

Swan Prep

Child’s Pose

Kneeling Arm and Leg Reach

Cat/Cow

Spine Stretch

The SawSlide25

LBP Pilot Study Outcome

Statistically significant improvement in all measures from the start of the intervention to the 6 weeks

No significant differences from 6 weeks to 26 week F/U, note pt adherence had gone down

Findings indicate improved function and decreased pain levels maintained for 26 weeks

Clinical Pilates can be equally effective as other stabilization exercisesSlide26
