8 Presenters & Workshops Lecture Series PILATES: THE SHARED SCIENCE APPI Education For the first time ever a full session looking at current research into the effectiveness of Pilates, much of which is unpublished. You will hear from three different researchers on their finding. Looking into Pilates for Back Pain, Pilates and its effect on Voice Control in performers, and a specific Pilates Class Plan & its effectiveness on a wide sample size. These researchers will present their finding and then be able to discuss the positives and negatives of their research. Opening up the door for further research opportunities, and finally ensuring that a Pilates conference is researched focussed. Laura Schembri Laura Schembri originally came from a health and fitness background, gaining her first certificate in teaching exercise to music in 1990. She continued her studies within the fitness industry for several years before she decided to look deeper into injury prevention and enrolled in the physiotherapy course at the University of Malta, graduating with a BSc (Hons) in 2000. Her undergraduate dissertation was a practical study looking at the effects of stabilising exercises versus manual therapy on chronic back pain. After graduating she was keen to carry on developing her knowledge and went on to complete the APPI training programme and later brought both the APPI and Kinetic Control courses to Malta. Laura currently divides her busy work schedule between being Assistant Principal Physiotherapist at the Musculoskeletal Outpatient’s Department at St Luke’s Hospital in Malta, and private practice. She has a special interest in back pain and so was asked to set up a back-care unit at the hospital. Laura teaches modified Pilates classes at all levels in the public and private sectors and has written several articles promoting Pilates, especially in relation to back pain and preventing injuries. Laura has conducted seminars and workshops on ergonomics and exercise and also works with athletes and dancers for injury prevention and improved performance.
