Specific attention will be paid to the most common issues you will see as a Pilates instructor: scoliosis, frozen shoulder and impingment, common knee injuries and misalignments, arthritis, osteoporosis, stenosis, disc problems, etc.

“Denise has taught me so much, and has influenced my teaching more than anyone else in the last 4 years, simultaneously getting my own body symptom-free from chronic disc pain”
