In the sixth of our ‘Reflection Series’, host Matt Phillips is joined by Chareeya Kaewsawang, a.k.a The Wee Physio, who reflects on Ep.73 ‘Evidence Reformed Pilates’ that was recorded 19th October 2021 with guest Raphael Bender of Breathe Education and The Pilates Elephants Podcast.

This episode explores traditional misconceptions in Pilates, especially the emphasis on pre-core activation and neutral pelvis, and delves into how modern evidence is shaping a more informed practice. Chareeya shares how these insights have impacted her work as a Pilates instructor and physiotherapist, emphasizing the importance of continually updating practices based on current research.

Perfect for Pilates instructors, physiotherapists, sports therapists, soft tissue therapists, and indeed anyone interested in integrating evidence-based practices while maintaining client satisfaction and improving outcomes.

The episode also gives details on the upcoming ‘Hands On Hub & STA Conference’ taking place on September 20th & 21st, which promises to be a NEW type of conference that will “shape the future of healthcare education”.
