Pilates Based Exercises : High Heel Recovery Clinic Raves: Tension Replaced with Toning

Pilates Iconoclast Brought to You From Manhattan NYC:

In the September issue of Gotham Magazine, an editor who attended one of our press previews had this to say about the experience: "movement studio Backbone and Wingspan's.... private one-on-one Pilates program designed to restore your posture..... after just one hour you'll feel taller. looser, and better prepared to to rock this season's platform Louboutins." - Ingrid Skjong - Gotham Fitness 

Read the entire mention about Healing Heels if you are already or would like to become a fan of Backbone and Wingspan on our Facebook Page.

**************************************************************

The principles related through Pilates based exercises taught on a stability ball give practical application, such as how to wear heels (or really any shoes) in a way that you can not only avoid injury, but actually start a muscular toning process.

Whether you are like this woman with a stash of heels under her bed, or whether the new cool weather has encouraged you to ditch your flip flops for shoes of more substance, we invite you to read about what other participants of our previous High Heel Recovery Clinic have raved:

"The High Heel class provided a nice combination of theory and exercises with some knock out visuals such as a juice cartoon with one corner smashed in to represent a heel (in a high heel) that had collapsed.

Another unforgettable visual was a plastic sacrum that was held over a person's real sacrum and was then compared to a picture of a stone arch. The topmost stone of the arch enables it to hold its structure

The clinic instructors pointed out that in a similar fashion the sacrum functions to provide stability to the pelvis and upper and lower body.

The level of instruction by all the instructors was excellent. - Sue Rothwell

 

"We learned the ins and outs of the backbone, the tail bone, why they effect your posture, and why your balance and stability are what makes your feet ache. It’s cause you’re not walkin’ right. We’ll be there again on June 24th to double check our techniques. I have worn heels a couple of times since our private class, and have consciously noticed less pain in my footsies, while using Tim's advice."

                                    -  Ashley from The Luxury Spot

Backbone and Wingspan is dedicated to presenting Pilates exercises with Universal Principles of Movement as the underpinnings. In this way, the workout you receive can be sustained in subtle ways more efficiently through the rest of your day, and the simultaneous release-of-tension-while-toning process becomes more second nature.
