Hooked on Pilates

Hooked on Pilates Offering the patented MINIMAX-The Soft Arc & HANDIBANDS for Reformer & Mat. Great for home & studio Hi!

I'm Martina, a physical therapist/Pilates instructor who invented the patented MINIMAX (a soft version of a Pilates arc barrel, which does double duty as a yoga prop for prolonged stretching) & patented HANDIBANDS (adjustable resistance straps, which easily attach inside door jambs and to Pilates equipment). My hope with starting Hooked on Pilates®(HOP) is to bring the benefits of Pilates & yoga t

o more people. The HOP equipment is designed to be durable, portable and versatile. Once you are done working out, hang the equipment on a hook! On this page, I hope to create a healthy community where we share health and fitness ideas.

Muscles move bones! Posture indicates a lot… from emotional state to your sport to muscular imbalances👍

If you have one or both shoulders sloping down … I want to see what muscle is carrying the weight of your arms🤔 Often the levator scapulae are doing the work of the upper traps😬

The problem is that the levator scapulae is a DWD rotator of the shoulder blade. This decreases the space inside the shoulder joint which increase the risk of shoulder impingement 😬🤔😬

Male have a KNOWN higher risk of chronic than female gymnasts. I think it is due to the fact that a number of male gymnastics apparatus train DWD Rotation of the shoulder blades ( pommel horse, P bars and rings). Female gymnasts do NOT have any apparatus which requires a lot of downward rotation… female gymnast have fewer chronic shoulder issues ( PMID 34631906)

I have and which can help manage your shoulder pain👍

, the upper trap is an upward rotator. no matter how strong you are - I find men with bigger arms often exhibit this downward slope of shoulders)

From the way people have reacted to me saying that male gymnasts have this issue and that perhaps downward rotation of the shoulder blades is the issue - it obvious that many physicaltherapists & personal trainers do NOT understand this .

DM to book an online session or if in Denver book a P.T. Session

There is help!
