Stott Pilates IMP Five Basic Principles
QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
1. Breathing - ✅✅✅In through the nose & out through
the mouth through pursed lips.
2. Emphasis is on a 3 dimensional breath pattern
breathing into the posterior & lateral aspects of the
rib cage as these tend to be underutilized areas.
3. Breathing - ✅✅✅Exhaling deeply can help to activate
the deep support muscles by engaging the
transverses abdominus.
4. The action of the transverses abdominus is to engage
& slightly compress the abdomen stabilizing the
limbo pelvic region, especially in neutral.
5. Breathing - ✅✅✅The gentle contraction of the deep
pelvic floor muscles also aid in firing the Transverses
Abdominus.

Stott Pilates IMP Five Basic Principles

QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS

  1. Breathing - ✅✅✅In through the nose & out through the mouth through pursed lips.
  2. Emphasis is on a 3 dimensional breath pattern breathing into the posterior & lateral aspects of the rib cage as these tend to be underutilized areas.
  3. Breathing - ✅✅✅Exhaling deeply can help to activate the deep support muscles by engaging the transverses abdominus.
  4. The action of the transverses abdominus is to engage & slightly compress the abdomen stabilizing the limbo pelvic region, especially in neutral.
  5. Breathing - ✅✅✅The gentle contraction of the deep pelvic floor muscles also aid in firing the Transverses Abdominus.
  1. This breath pattern helps to avoid unnecessary tension into the neck & shoulders & aids relaxation.
  2. Breathing - ✅✅✅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.
  3. Pelvic Placement - ✅✅✅In neutral pelvic placement, the natural lordotic curve of the lumbar spine is present.
  4. The A.S.I.S. & the pubic symphysis bone lie approximately in a horizontal plane, parallel to the floor when lying supine.
  5. Pelvic Placement - ✅✅✅Neutral promotes good shock absorption & efficient movement throughout the body.
  1. The abdominal wall attaches to the lower ribs. So we must maintain abdominal connection, to avoid popping in the ribs.
  2. Rib Cage Placement - ✅✅✅The abdominals also stabilize the rib cage & therefore the spine. During movement of the arms.
  3. Rib cage placement is used to keep the spine neutral & stable.
  4. Scapula Movement & Stabilization - ✅✅✅The scapula lacks bony attachment to the ribs & spine. Only attaching to the clavicle. Thereby providing mobility to the upper limb, which must be counter balanced with stability.
  5. It is important to balance the surrounding muscles. & to control the movement of the scapula.
  1. Scapula Movement & Stabilization - ✅✅✅The scapula should lie flat on the rib cage & glide across it without winging.
  2. Protraction. Retraction. Elevation. Depression. Upward Rotation. & Downward rotation. Are all available movements around the scapula.
  3. Stabilizing the scapula is necessary before the initiation of every exercise.
  4. Head & Cervical Placement - ✅✅✅The cervical spine should hold its natural curve. (Anterior convex). & the skull should be balanced directly above the shoulders in sitting or standing.
  5. Pads may be needed in supine or prone to prevent hyperextension of the cervical spine.
  6. Head & Cervical Placement - ✅✅✅The cervical spine should follow the line of the thoracic spine in
