Catherine has practiced Pilates for more than 25 years, and her experience with the Pilates Method has influenced her work in rehabilitative science. She has certified with several Pilates organizations, and she chose to do the bulk of her training with STOTT PILATES due to their contemporary approach. Catherine is inspired by the original work of Joseph Pilates and is able to update his work according to current scientific theory and research. Happily, the body of research on Pilates and rehabilitative science is growing and Catherine enjoys scouring the literature for information that will help her to use Pilates to prevent and treat injuries and improve function for her patients and students. Her efforts to do this are highlighted in the 6 hour continuing education class she created for Summit Professional Education, Evidence-Based Pilates for Orthopedic and Geriatric Populations.
