Mary Thorton is a British physiotherapist and founder of The Clinical Pilates Studio in England. You can learn more about her and her studio here: *https://clinicalpilatesstudio.squarespace.com/our-team*   

The article I mentioned came out in 2017, so it was a big deal when I heard about it in 2018. It's still very new. You can check it out here: *https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ajmg.c.31552* 

The Beighton Test is super not useful to measure hypermobility because those 9 points I talk about don't get into the hypermobility that could happen in one's heart, intestines, bladder, blood vessels, eyes, etc. It's a very limited and outdated test that doesn't cover much of the spectrum of Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder.

She shares the ways that Pilates helped her heal from a serious injury through re-learning movement patterns and breaking free of pain patterns. Her story of Pilates as a form of corrective and rehabilitative exercise is honest, relatable, and inspiring. 

Follow the podcast on Instagram @pilatesstudentsmanual and on the web here: https://bit.ly/PilatesStudentsManual for the latest! 

Email pilatesstudentsmanual@oliviabioni.com with your feedback. 

Show Notes: 

Carla found rehabilitative Pilates in 1998 while recovering from injuries that did not improve after years of traditional physical therapy approaches. She spent the following years in a long, involved training to learn how to teach movement retraining to others.  In 2002, she became a certified Pilates instructor through The Physical Mind Institute and has also studied the STOTT PILATES method extensively.  She studied and worked at The Albemarle Center for Health & Rehabilitation and found that years of working with an injured population taught her the art of seeing structural imbalances clearly. She opened Posture Studio to keep others from developing chronic pain in their own lives.

She spent the following years in a long, involved training to learn how to teach movement retraining to others.  In 2002, she became a certified Pilates instructor through The Physical Mind Institute and has also studied the STOTT PILATES method extensively.  She studied and worked at The Albemarle Center for Health & Rehabilitation and found that years of working with an injured population taught her the art of seeing structural imbalances clearly. She opened Posture Studio to keep others from developing chronic pain in their own lives.

Visit her Posture Studio's site to learn more about offerings and workshops: *posturestudio.com* and visit their YouTube channel! You can also follow her on Instagram @carlasposture and @posturestudio, and check out the studio hashtags #posturestudio and #loveishowwemove.

Notes: 

Calling the studio is really only necessary for last minute cancellations for group classes. You should give your teacher as much notice as possible for private session cancellations. 

When a teacher cues to do what feels right in your body, it usually means that you can work in a smaller range of movement, or try a modification. It isn't a cue for exploring advanced progressions.

I misspoke in this episode. I defined ASIS as anterior superior illiac crest, when it is actually the anterior superior iliac spine, which fits the acronym. I was clearly very excited about the core.
