Dear Friends,
Hot on the heels of the Winter Olympics you may be feeling inspired to improve your game on the slopes or ice. March is the perfect month to get out there and enjoy your favorite winter sports, if you’re in a climate that allows you to do so. Skiing, snowboarding, skating – Pilates can help improve your performance in all of these activities. And with Spring just around the corner, it’s time to also start working on those golf and tennis swings. Add Pilates to your regular sport-conditioning routine and you’ll be able to move faster, swing further, and gain the much-needed stamina to last longer on the course.
Yours in good health,
Lindsay & Moira Merrithew
Co-founders, STOTT PILATES®

& Communications Director of Education respond:
Returning to an exercise routine, including Pilates, after any type of abdominal surgery is something that requires a great deal of consideration and close monitoring. There are any number of complications that can arise after this type of procedure, even in a C-section. The best advice would be to return to exercising only after receiving written permission from the doctor or surgeon involved. Once that has been obtained, remember that the workout should start out gently and progress slowly. Understand that it will take some time before a pre-surgery fitness level is reached. If you are an instructor and are dealing with clients who are post-surgery, make sure you have an ongoing dialogue with them and encourage them to let you know if any movements are uncomfortable or painful. If you are returning to exercise yourself, make sure you are honest with your trainer – or yourself if you are working alone – and do not try to achieve too much too soon. A gentle easy workout can be a essential tool on the road to recovery.

The STOTT PILATES Cadillac Trapeze Table has supported millions of Pilates exercisers over the years. The Cadillac Trapeze Table utilizes eight bolts to support the trapeze table bed frame structure; two bolts at each corner of the bed frame.
There are a few important points to remember in assembling the Cadillac Trapeze Table. It is important to tighten the 8 bolts holding the Trapeze Table bed frame until the vertical poles are indented. It is important not to over tighten the bolts as that may damage the poles by making holes in them.
Also, when tightening up your Cadillac Trapeze Table Bed Frame, make sure to tighten only the four bolts on the short side of the bed first. Then check to make sure both of the sliding bars slide freely. Also confirm that the push thru bar is properly aligned and rotates freely. Then proceed to tighten the four remaining bolts on the long side of the bed frame.Questions about equipment maintenance? Need a quote on replacement parts?
