Did you know?
🧘‍♂️ The Isle of Man is the birthplace of Pilates!

Over 100 years ago, Joseph Pilates developed his method while interned at Knockaloe during WW1 - inspired not only by controlled movement, but by the agility and fluid motion of the Island's iconic Manx cats.

This July, led by Ramsey Crookall and in collaboration with , we're bringing Pilates home.

Join us for a world record Pilates class, alongside a wellness and charity festival, on the very grounds where it all began.

The event will serve as a global homecoming for the international Pilates community, reconnecting the method with its Manx roots while aiming to surpass the current world record of 3,486 participants in a single class.

✨ move together

📆 19th July 2026 | 📍 Knockaloe, Isle of Man

💥Shoulder Movement and Function 💥 ⁉️ Have you ever been told to pull your shoulder blades “down and back” when reaching overhead or performing overhead exercises? ❌ If so, don’t ❌ This unnecessarily restricts normal movement (upward rotation and posterior tilt) at the shoulder blades (scapulae), and does not allow the shoulder girdle to move as it was designed to ✅ Instead, I like to use the cues to "reach long", “chest high”, and/or "make a large arc with your hand" while reaching overhead to help achieve the full scapular upward rotation and posterior tilt we are looking for 🙏🏼 Thank you to @anatomy.app for providing this great video! ----- 🎯 If you want a more comprehensive plan to follow to help you overcome shoulder pain, check out my 𝟴-𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 "𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠" (and 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟲𝟬 more guided mobility, strength and stability routines and 𝟵 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀) available in my 𝗔𝗣𝗣! ✅ Comment the words "𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘" below and I'll DM you the exclusive l*nk to get your first 𝟳 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 and then only $𝟵𝟵 for the whole year ($𝟴.𝟯𝟯/month) ⬇️ ----- 🎯 If you need a more 𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗭𝗘𝗗 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡 to help you out with your 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗𝗘𝗥, mobility, training, and/or any other issue you’re dealing with, tap on the 🔗 l*nk at the top of my page @dr.caleb.burgess (or comment “𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗟𝗬” and I'll send you my application form) to apply to work with me 𝟭-𝗼𝗻-𝟭 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 (I’ll respond within 48 hours) ✅ I’ll perform a detailed assessment, put together an individualized program based on where you’re currently at and where you want to get to (your goals), and then coach you through the process of getting there ----- #shoulderrehab #scapularstrength #scapularstability #shoulderpain #rotatorcuff
