Take me to your Pilates

http://biomech.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=193000428

The benefits of Pilates for building core and muscle strength, as

well as balance, may be well accepted, but how to incorporate the

exercises into a rehabilitation protocol is not always so clear. OPTP

is filling that need with a new book, Pilates for Rehab: A Guidebook

to Integrating Pilates in Patient Care. Information on case studies,

references, and other resources is included throughout. Also included

is a series of clinician tips on full adaptation for specific

diagnoses and a section on how to incorporate such functional

equipment as foam rollers, Swiss balls, and exercise bands. Many

photographs and drawings help illustrate concepts and the different

exercises.
