This beautifully illustrated volume provides a comprehensive guide to fascia-focused movement in original and contemporary Pilates mat, reformer, and studio applications. Each of the book’s 14 chapters illustrates how each principle of fascia-focused movement is expressed in Pilates exercise. In addition to a comprehensive exercise compendium, Fascia in Motion includes chapters on specialized applications of fascia-focused movement in Pilates including:
Pilates fascia-focused movement for aging well
Pilates fascia-focused movement for computer posture
Pilates fascia-focused movement for osteoporosis
Pilates fascia-focused movement for hip and knee replacement
The text is supplemented with links to video of Elizabeth Larkam demonstrating each of the exercises personally. A truly stunning achievement and the synthesis of a lifetime’s dedication to the art and science of Pilates.
