Who is this workshop for:
This workshop is specifically for people who want to learn more about how knees should function, and how to best support them to function well. I specialise in teaching women 50-70+ at all stages of fitness and this course is suitable for all ages/stages and abilities. You will definitely appreciate your knees a whole lot more after this course!
I have knee osteoarthritis. Is this suitable for me?
The exercises are optional, but they are low load and low impact and designed to improve many skills that you will use on a daily basis such as climbing stairs. Many exercises are designed to improve your gait. Walking for exercise is associated with less frequent development of knee pain in those with knee osteoarthritis.
I have or am going to have knee surgery/replacement. Is this suitable for me?
This workshop does not replace physiotherapy. However, you will become a more informed patient after this course. I have had clients who delayed (and even cancelled) surgery, but of course, everyone is different! It is apparent that moving mindfully has a positive effect on the pain experience. Learning how to move with confidence can give you a leg up on your healing process. If you need more information, please email. Consult your surgeon, doctor or physiotherapist if you are in doubt.
Course Curriculum
Hi! I’m Carol and I am the founder of Alignment REScue, an online course and membership platform. I have been teaching movement since 1999 when I became a Pilates instructor (Stott). I taught Pilates for 12 years, opening a private studio with custom equipment made especially for me and my 6’2” frame!
Then I discovered the work of Katy Bowman and became fascinated by her approach. I certified as a Nutritious Movement® Restorative Exercise Specialist in 2013, and continue working with Katy today, among other leaders in the movement and physiotherapy world.
Ever curious about all I can bring to my clients, I can often be found studying pelvic floor, osteoporosis, chronic pain and (one of my favourite topics) all things feet!
I believe in giving my clients hope and positive encouragement to navigate their challenges! I’m 64 and have dealt with many of the same things and that has driven me to learn all I can to help others.
In my spare time I like walking and hiking. I look forward to moving with you on the mat soon!
