How Refreshing!
October 16, 2009 by Leslie Braverman
I am absolutely in your debt Pacific NW Pilates! One of my clients had written to you regarding a very perplexing shoulder injury she is currently experiencing. The responses you generated were most generous and refreshing. You’re knowledge of the ‘movement’ of the anatomy is what I am most impressed with. It is more frequent than ever these days that I explain to clients why & how things work in their bodies. The frequency of unexplained injury and pain is rampant in my practice. I am the Pilates Specialist and Group Fitness Director at the Gold’s Gym in St. Lucie West, Florida. Your assessment of my student was amazing and has helped us, and will continue to help us get her back into class (which is what she most desires in the world!). Though I have been a Personal Trainer for over 10 years, & a Pilates Specialist for over 5 I do not know the anatomy in the depth that you folks do. I am soooo grateful for your help. I am even more grateful for your willingness to provide such guidance for FREE. The tidbits that you detailed were worth…well they were priceless! This is the most refreshing experience for me as a teacher. I am extremely passionate about my people, and I love and adore them. The fact that you would reach out blindly and assist is so moving. It doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you thank you thank you. My student’s name is Orly, and I hope she writes you back soon with news of her good progress.

Hi Charlie:
Thank you so much for writing us and letting us know that our advice helped. Yeah! It can be difficult to relay complex ideas in writing- so it takes one to be able to decipher that information and turn it into exercises and real corrections- so kudos to you!
Please feel free to write us anytime if you have questions. I can take your letter at leslie@pacificnwpilates.com
Our goals with the blog have been to try to build a stronger pilates community, to help more people and to share pilates. We are fortunate to have over a dozen teachers here at Pacific NW Pilates- all experienced and smart- sometimes it helps to have more people helping you brainstorm about a client- doesn’t it? We are so pleased that Orly is doing better.
Take Care and we look forward to hearing from you again.
Best,
Leslie, Jean, Melanie and everyone at PNWP
