Pilates & Hypermobility
Foundation Mat Work with Jennifer Milner
Scoliosis and Hypermobility often go together. Some professionals would say that it’s the hypermobility of connective tissue that “allows” for scoliosis to happen in the first place. If we are going to understand scoliosis, then we need to understand hypermobility. Of course, not everyone with scoliosis is hypermobile, but since it is a high percentage of the population that we work with, we have brought in a hypermobility expert to teach us – Jennifer Milner.
Jennifer Milner is a certified Pilates trainer specializing in dancers and post-injury recoveries. As a classical ballet dancer, Jennifer danced with several companies across the country, then moved to New York for musical theatre. After a knee injury ended a successful performing career, Jennifer became determined to use her experiences to help other dancers and performers. She became certified in the Pilates method of exercise, graduating from the Kane School of Core Integration under the renowned Kelly Kane and immersed herself in the world of dance rehabilitation as the on-site Pilates trainer for Westside Dance Physical Therapy (the official physical therapist for New York City Ballet and SAB), quickly developing a reputation as a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and compassionate trainer.
