Pilates Safety is a Concern for Industry Leaders
The issue of safety is at the forefront of the Pilates Method Alliance® (PMA), the only certifying agency in the Pilates industry, which convenes today for its annual board meeting.
Rochester, MI, January 22, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Interest in Pilates as a form of mind-body exercise is on the rise. This boost in popularity also brings with it an increased risk of injury for practitioners due to inadequately trained instructors.
This issue of safety is at the forefront of the Pilates Method Alliance® (PMA), the only certifying agency in the Pilates industry, which convenes today for its annual board meeting.
Trent McEntire, president of the Board of Directors for the PMA and director of McEntire Pilates located in Rochester, Mich. will address the PMA Board of Directors at the annual board meeting in Miami, Fla. on Jan. 20-22.
"I am proud to serve the PMA,” McEntire said. “The work being done is important for the longevity of safety standards for the everyday person who may not know how to find a qualified and certified Pilates professional."
The PMA exists as an international, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) professional association and certifying agency to assist in the self-regulation of Pilates teachers.
In addition to providing teacher certification, the PMA holds an annual educational conference for Pilates professionals. Attendance at the 2010 meeting was approximately 900 and its upcoming Teacher Training Summit on May 12-14 will welcome anyone involved in Pilates teacher training for the purpose of developing standard practices for the industry.
