Exploring the Essential Features of “Sue DuPont – 3D Movement Analysis & Pilates-Based Exercises for Chronic Back Pain & Degenerative Scoliosis – PESI”
Speaker: Sue DuPont, MS, MBA, PT, ATC
Duration: 1 Hour 58 Minutes
Format: Audio and Video
Copyright: Jul 29, 2020
Media Type: Digital Seminar
Description
This session will focus on movement analysis that incorporates the principles of Pilates and postural alignment of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, as well as that of the upper quadrant. Evaluate posture and movement based on muscle slings and myofascial lines. Treat keystone areas with hands-on techniques, such as IASTM and dynamic cupping. Learn specific, scoliosis and Pilates method-based exercises to rebalance and correct these malalignments beyond the basic back stabilization exercises.

Objectives
- Distinguish asymmetries in LPHC (lumbo-pelvic-hip-complex) and keystone areas that may be contributing to spinal pain and dysfunction.
- Determine the importance of positioning and hands-on techniques, such as wedging, cupping and IASTM, to restore myofascial alignment.
- Apply at least 3 Pilates method-based and/or spinal curvature corrective exercises to reactivate the anti-gravity spring and realign neutral posture.
Outline
Keystone areas that Contribute to Spinal Pain and Dysfunction
