About the lecture
Are you someone that experiences pain, or do you help people that live with pain?
Pain can be scary, debilitating, costly, and potentially have a huge negative impact on our lives - but what if it wasn't as scary as we thought? Learning more about the physical processes that occur when we feel pain can potentially help us take back some control over the experience.
In this afternoon lecture we will look at the anatomy and physiology involved with our pain, some of the potential contributing factors that can alter our pain experience, and discuss strategies to help us move forward toward function.
Spend an afternoon with AOK and PP learning more about one of the experiences that we all have in common.
About Alex
Hello! I am AOK - Alex O'Neill-King. As an injured teenage dancer, I was introduced to Pilates as a rehabilitation tool by my Physiotherapist. Thankfully this practice allowed me to keep dancing for many more years - fueling my movement curiosity, and taking me on a journey to study Dance at Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne.
It wasn't until a few years later that I discovered a new joy helping others keep moving. Returning to study, I completed my Diploma of Pilates Instruction and then continued into a Physiotherapy degree (life-long student over here!).
During my years working as a Physiotherapist I have had the privilege to work with people across a range of settings including Musculoskeletal, Neurological and Cardiorespiratory in acute care, inpatients, outpatients and community care. Alongside my Physiotherapy work I have continued to teach Pilates in a variety of studios, before opening my own solo practice in Western Australia that allows me to combine all my favourite ways to help people Keep Moving.

Inverloch Authentic Pilates is open for you Jan 10 to Dec 21
May I offer my personal experience of what Contrology (Authentic Pilates) give me last year.
Reflecting on the year that was 2020 and how I managed the restrictions and limitations brought upon us all, essentially to keep us healthy and strong in a pandemic.
Simply put, I increased my Pilates practice. I became more centred, stronger, more open in my body and mind, whist observing so many people who were contracting under the pressure, the changes, the fear of lost security.
My Pilates was a handrail that kept me steady, a mindful, focused practice that drew me deeper into myself whilst remaining ever present and in relationship to the environment I was living in. I watched myself deepen into this practice and allowed it to change my body and my mind to a stronger and more centred place. Doing the method 5 times per week showed me how this practice of Pilates is meant to reconnect you in a powerful strong body, with a clear sharp mind, developing an ease and grace that allows joy to flow.
To understand the importance of the right equipment for Classical Pilates, you first need to know that Joseph referred to his equipment as Apparatus and not machines. The point being that you are to work the apparatus, where as machines are designed to do the work for you. You need to develop a relationship with the apparatus, by this I mean connect with it physically, not just hold it or stand on it, but rather for example, ground into it, reach into it, draw away from it. The apparatus supports the body whilst giving us feedback to deepen into our core.
Saltwater House is a Wellness Place. Established by Matthew and Jodie Lynch in 2010. All Practitioners provide quality treatment, care and patient education to support you on your journey to optimal health and wellbeing. This is a happy house and you may be greeted by our resident therapy dog "Keda".
There are 2 good reasons to become an independent client. First reason, because that's what Joseph Pilates expected of you when you learnt his method of Pilates called "Contrology". Second reason, research proves that when you take responsibility for your workouts and engage with its content and method, you engage yourself more deeply and knowingly and therefore will transfer these gains from your workouts into the rest of your life.
