Introductory Course

The Introductory Course is designed for undergraduate students providing an introduction to  one of todays most popular methods of injury treatment & management. – Clinical Pilates MBCT. Over the last 30 years DMA introduced Clinical Pilates and set the gold standard. With new legal requirements under the 2019 Health Reforms there is another major shift in how Pilates can be used by physios, and its crucial for compliance.

We start by reviewing the research that differentiates Clinical Pilates from  traditional Pilates as we move into the “exercise as medicine” model. You will learn the critical difference between teaching a class as an instructor and treating with a clinical pathway based program. The evidence base is presented within a translational research framework to clarify the changes that are occurring constantly.

For the first time undergraduates will gain an insight into the process of classifying patients into subgroups and an introduction to patient specific exercise selection in matwork, reformer & trapeze table exercises.

Health Reforms changes on April 1 have dramatically changed how physios can use Pilates. If you are a Physiotherapy student wanting a glimpse into the Clinical Pilates world and are curious as to what these changes will mean to your future, join us in MELBOURNE on September 7, 2019-TBC.

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to stay at the cutting edge of exercise medicine and demonstrate the value of evidence based and designed Clinical Pilates Physiotherapy treatment programs.

The $299 investment will be discounted when you proceed to the certification program.

The Introductory course will be presented by: Craig Phillips & Treena Lord

DMA Clinical Pilates has been inundated with huge demand for Full Accreditation since the recent Health Reform changes and thus we are entering an exciting stage in Physiotherapy.

The Health Reform changes have finally seen the distinction made between Clinical Pilates as an effective, evidence based treatment versus that of fitness/instructor led Pilates. The time is now to become accredited in the MBCT model and move forward with us! 

DMA pioneered the links between spinal stability, emerging motor control research and the work of Joseph Pilates over 30 years ago.

We have dedicated ourselves to establishing the gold standard of evidence based Pilates training for Physiotherapists publishing quality research to test its efficacy as a valid assessment and treatment tool for sub grouping patient’s presentation.
