Emphasis is placed on strengthening the muscles of the trunk so that support of the spine increases plus posture and shape improve. The exercises enhance overall flexibility and fitness, improving co-ordination and balance. Muscles are gently stretched and lengthened as the exercises progress and overall body strength improves.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edescribes the underlying principles of the exercises in physical terms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edescribes the treatment of common medical conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprovides a manual for those in the remedial health care professions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eGood posture and how it can be achieved; Common medical conditions and problems; Anatomy review – torso, lower limbs and feet; Exercises for core stabilisation and efficient movement; Anatomy review – the upper limb;\u003cbr\u003eUpper body exercises; Teaching; Health and safety; Appendices:Sample client record form, Sample postural assessment form\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Physiotherapy [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Physiotherapy\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Physiotherapy%20%5BMQS%5D%22\"\u003eMQS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Butterworth-Heinemann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648109695256,"sku":"9780750656474","price":21.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780750656474.jpg?v=1694088350","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/teaching-pilates-for-postural-faults-illness-and-injury-a-practical-guide-paperback-9780750656474","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
