Working background
Marc’s interest in Clinical Pilates came from his own injuries over a professional Ballet career that spanned over two decades. He always cross trained with Pilates to condition his body to handle the extreme physical workload and multiple injuries involved in professional ballet. Combining his own Pilates knowledge with his medical team’s rehab approaches, Marc was able to sustain a very long ano gruelling stage career and gain an incredible amount of clinical knowledge as a result.
From 2007, while still dancing professionally, Marc began working in Pilates based rehabilitation and is a physiotherapist assistant. He found it incredibly stimulating and rewarding to help people of varying fitness levels and presenting pathologies. Towards the end of his dance career Marc moved into choreography to great critical acclaim. He found that his Pilates knowledge translated to the rehearsal floor seamlessly, helping these athletes understand their bodies better, as well as identifying potential injuries or issues from an alignment, muscular skeletal or negative movement pattern perspective. Marc is passionate about adapting and evolving that information for varied types of patient referrals and clients.
