Stott Pilates IMP Five Basic Principles
Breathing ✔️Ans - In through the nose & out through the mouth through
pursed lips.
Emphasis is on a 3 dimensional breath pattern breathing into the posterior &
lateral aspects of the rib cage as these tend to be under utilised areas.
Breathing ✔️Ans - Exhaling deeply can help to activate the deep support
muscles by engaging the transverses abdominus.
The action of the transverses abdominus is to engage & slightly compress the
abdomen stabilising the lumbo pelvic region, especially in neutral.
Breathing ✔️Ans - The gentle contraction of the deep pelvic floor muscles
also aid in firing the Transverses Abdominus.
This breath pattern helps to avoid unnecessary tension into the neck &
shoulders & aids relaxation.
Breathing ✔️Ans - It is good to note that when we breath in, the rib cage
opens up & out, promoting spinal extension. & when we breath out, the rib
cage closes in & down promoting spinal flexion.
Pelvic Placement ✔️Ans - In neutral pelvic placement, the natural lordotic
curve of the lumbar spine is present.
The A.S.I.S. & the pubic symphysis bone lie approximately in a horizontal
plane, parallel to the floor when lying supine.
Pelvic Placement ✔️Ans - Neutral promotes good shock absorption &
efficient movement throughout the body.
Neutral is usually used during closed kinetic chain activities.
Pelvic Placement ✔️Ans - In an Imprinted position there is a slight
posterior pelvic tilt with a slight lumbar flexion.
