Beyond Core Control—Pilates Exercise, The Outer Unit and Muscular Slings
Pilates exercise has long been known to work from the ‘inside - out’. We first recruit muscles of core stabilization (the ‘inner unit’) to form a stable base from which to work. We then move our trunk and limbs with larger muscle groups to create our everyday functional movements. When our ‘stabilizers’ and ‘mobilizers’ are working efficiently the result is optimally coordinated and efficient movement. As instructors and practitioners of Pilates exercise, creating awareness of these muscle groups and their proper facilitation is one of our main objectives.

We will focus on the muscles that we call the mobilisers of the body and will investigate their crucial role in movement as well as in providing more stability and protection for the inner, stabilizing muscles and joints. We will look at the body from a ‘muscular slings’ perspective using the concepts of Vleeming and relate them, in a systematic way, to Pilates exercises.  We will cover the following topics (outer unit Muscular Slings, Basic Gait pattern, Anatomy/physiology, Function/dysfunction, Experiential exercises for the Muscular Slings)
