Özlem muheteşem bir fizyoterapist ve pilates hocası. Durumum gereği ikisine de ihtiyacım vardı ve şanslıyım ki ona ulaştım :) İş disiplini , sürekli motive eden ve moral veren , aynı zamanda da zorlayan tutumuyla hayat kalitemi artırdı. Cesaret verdi . Sayesinde daha önce sırt üstü yattığım yerden hiç bir yere tutunmadan kalkabilmeye başladım. Vücudunu tanımak isteyen , daha kaliteli ve sağlıklı bir yaşam sürmek isteyen herkese tavsiye ederim. İyiki varsın Özlemcim..

Ozlem is a truly dynamic, knowledgable and inspiring Pilates teacher. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she strives to learn, improve and understand the freedom of movement inside and out. Ozlam has helped to spread the magical work of Joseph Pilates by hosting the APPI Health Group modified Pilates courses over the past years. Thank you for allowing this to happen!

      The medical world is now realising the benefits of the Pilates method for the prevention and rehabilitation of back injuries. In order to prevent a recurrence of back pain, it is essential to retrain the deep abdominal and spinal muscles. Hodges (1999) developed a model of spinal stability by drawing on all the research presented previously. Hodges proposes that TrA, multifidus, the diaphragm and the pelvic floor muscles are co-activated to form an enclosed abdominal ring, termed a 'cylinder of stability'. This closed cylinder of stability allows the contraction of TrA to generate an increased IAP to increase lumbar stability (1999). Activation of TrA, multifidus, the diaphragm and pelvic floor is required to increase the pressure in the abdominal cavity and increase tension in TLF to increase spinal stability. In conclusion, medical experts have provided substantial evidence on the importance of TrA and multifidus in the role of lumbar instability. Abdominal hollowing techniques have been advocated to reduce the recurrence of low back pain and lumbar instability. The pelvic floor has been shown to activate in close association with TrA and the diaphragm in a feed forward mechanism to increase spinal stability, therefore, Pilates offers an excellent adjunctive tool. Pilates provides patients with a method of exercise unique amongst other forms of exercise that focuses on correct movement quality not quantity, core stabilisation and postural correction.Pilates suits all ages and fitness levels and is particularly beneficially for those with back pain, poor postures, neurological conditions, mental health conditions, sports injuries, arthritis, stress related illness and before and after pregnancy.
