Pilates helps them increase their core strength, mobility, posture and endurance levels to help them hit the ball consistently across 18 holes and avoid common injuries such as back pain. As a certified Golf Conditioning Specialist Mary designs individual Pilates programs for golf clients. Mary can work with the golf clients independently or in conjunction with their golf pro.
Male Pilates Clients
Contrary to myth, many Pilates clients are men. They range from novice exercisers wanting to improve their fitness, address injuries or physical pains to serious athletes looking to improve their performance in a particular sport or recover from an injury. Mary works with these clients to design a Pilates program to fit their needs and goals based on fitness levels, a sports focus, injuries or other needs.
Cancer Recovery Clients
Cancer Recovery Clients can be either male or female dealing with any kind of cancer. Mary has been certified by the Pink Ribbon Program to work with breast Cancer Recovery undergoing cancer treatment or recovering from surgery. But she has been able to use her learnings to help patients across a range of cancers improve their physical strength, flexibility and range of motion. Mary also sees the emotional benefits of Pilates for these clients as they reclaim their body and health. Mary begins working with cancer recovery clients with a detailed discussion and review of their health status, treatment regimen and physical capability to design a custom Pilates program. As the clients recovery progresses Mary adjusts the Pilates exercises based on their changing capabilities and need.
