Movement is recognized as a positive contributor to lengthening health span and supporting vitality. However, optimal movement practices for the individual needs of different health conditions have not yet been thoroughly explored.

The first volume of this pioneering book examines multi-system health conditions, including Ehlers-Danlos, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Lyme Disease and Long COVID, illustrating in detail how movement sequences improve gait, balance, efficiency, and quality of life. Each chapter is an exemplar of how to tailor movement practices to specific situations, while providing actionable information to movement and health practitioners in clinical practice, movement centers, home practice and online sessions.

A comprehensive reference designed for Pilates teachers, movement educators, manual therapists, continuing education providers and teachers-in-training advances professional efficacy. Expert contributors integrate the movement vocabulary of J.H. Pilates with influences from current interdisciplinary methodologies and research. For a buoyant experience that increases somatic engagement intersperse reading with movement practices.

Reviews for Pilates Applications for Health Conditions Volume 1: Multi-System Conditions

A profound amalgamation of Pilates' past, present, and future. It introduces the reader to the value of research, gives an overview of what is available today, and stresses the importance of continued discovery. It also highlights the often undervalued importance of gait, and the wealth of information that can be gleaned from observing this most simple and yet intricate of movement patterns. This is a book that will inspire the most seasoned of professionals to reassess and reevaluate their teaching. Elizabeth Larkam and Madeline Black bring to the fore their vast experience, knowledge, and creativity. They put on full display the reason they are leaders in our field.--Rael Isacowitz, MA, BASI Pilates, Founder & Director
