Pilates Reformer Focus on the Feet - How the Springs, Soles & Heels Relate to the Spine and Sacrum

The foot work on the Pilates reformer isn't merely for the feet - or even just for the feet and legs.

When Backbone and Wingspan Universal Principles of Movement are applied to the Pilates exercises, and the client is given instruction with keen imagery and guided with sensitive hands-on, the springs - which are usually thought of and utilized as resistance - on the Pilates reformer become resilience tools to convey to the muscular and skeletal and joint system the body's own capacity for resilience.
