In this episode of The Art of Pilates, I’m joined by Hope Spencer, founder of the Positive Health Project and an oncology and lymphoedema physiotherapist. We talk about the important role of exercise and rehabilitation before, during and after cancer treatment, and how movement can help people maintain strength, mobility, confidence and quality of life. Hope explains lymphoedema, cancer-related fatigue, scar rehabilitation, peripheral neuropathy and the impact cancer treatment can have on muscle and bone health. We also discuss where Pilates and Reformer Pilates fit into cancer rehabilitation and how Pilates instructors can safely and confidently support clients living with or recovering from cancer. One of my biggest takeaways from our conversation was Hope’s message that exercise should be seen as part of cancer care. We also bust some common myths around cancer, exercise and lymphoedema and talk about the importance of creating a supportive environment where people feel empowered rather than restricted. This is an incredibly informative and inspiring conversation, and I hope it helps Pilates teachers and movement professionals feel more confident supporting people throughout their cancer journey.

    Part 2 : Hypermobility & Pilates: Building Strength, Stability and Confidence with Sue Nash

    Download your free eBook here! ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.taubepilates.com/Free-Ebook-pregnancy-and-postnatal⁠⁠ In this episode of the Art of Pilates Podcast, I sit down with internationally respected Pilates educator Sue Nash to explore the often misunderstood world of hypermobility. This conversation completely changed the way I think about flexibility, stability, and how we teach movement. Sue shares her incredible knowledge on why hypermobility is so much more than simply being flexible. We discuss why hypermobile bodies are more prone to pain, fatigue and injury, and why the answer isn't always stretching—but instead learning how to build strength, stability and body awareness. In this episode, we cover: What hypermobility really is—and why it's more than flexibilityCommon signs and symptoms Pilates instructors should recogniseHow hypermobility affects posture, movement and proprioceptionWhy pregnancy and menopause can create additional challenges for hypermobile bodiesThe hidden reasons behind pain, fatigue and recurring injuriesWhy stretching may not be the best approachPractical Pilates strategies to build stability and resilienceMy favourite teaching takeaways from Sue that I'll be applying in my own studioOne of the biggest lessons I took away from this conversation was that our role as Pilates teachers isn't to chase bigger ranges of movement—it's to help our clients move with greater control, confidence and strength. Whether you're a Pilates instructor, movement professional, allied health practitioner, or someone living with hypermobility, I know you'll walk away from this episode with practical ideas you can use immediately. 🎧 If you enjoy this episode, don't forget to subscribe to The Art of Pilates Podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who would benefit from learning more about hypermobility and intelligent movement.
