What if pain and poor movement aren't the problem — they're the message?

If you work with movement—or you’ve been dealing with pain that won’t resolve—this is worth your attention.

Most movement training tells your body what to do.

The OOV Foundations Course asks it to organize differently.

There's a meaningful distinction there, and it's the reason practitioners often report improvements in areas they weren't directly targeting. When you address the neurological patterns underlying how your whole body moves, balances, and recovers, change tends to ripple outward in ways isolated muscle training simply can't produce. It’s not a workaround. It’s a paradigm shift.

Whether it's for your own body, or to support your clients and patients, OOV is a groundbreaking system that invites you to understand, not just manage, what your body is doing.

The OOV Foundations Course is coming April 11–12 at The Pilates Studio in Hadley.

  • Time: 8am-7pm both days
  • Cost: $550
  • Instructor: Katrina Hawley

If you work with movement or have been navigating pain that won’t resolve, this is worth your attention.

This training is for:


• Physical therapists
• Osteopaths
• Pilates instructors
• Movement educators and fitness professionals
• Bodyworkers and manual therapists

What you'll learn:

A systematic daily practice built around five assessments covering the OA joint, diaphragm, psoas, pelvis, hips, and shoulders. These assessments teach you to read your nervous system (or a patient's or client's) in real time, make targeted interventions, and build lasting change from the inside out.This is interoception in practice: the body's ability to sense and respond to itself.The method was designed by Australian movement innovator Daniel Vladeta and is used by movement professionals, athletes, dancers, and people recovering from injury who want to understand more deeply how their bodies function.The result isn't just better movement, it's a more intelligent, responsive, and resilient body.

Questions? We'd be happy to talk through whether this course is the right fit.

Smiles & Success: Client Reviews That Say It All:

I have become so strong over the past two years! Confidence, strength, power and self image! I love the Pilates studio! Lot less expensive than my PT!

The Pilates Studio is a delightfully supportive environment that I love being a part of.  The instructors are patient and extremely knowledgeable of The Pilates Method.   It’s always a ton of fun to participate in classes AND I feel fabulous each time I complete a session.  Kudos to Laurie, Katrina and Mark for making the Pilates studio in Hadley such a welcoming place.

I tried the Pilates Studio as an experiment, I’m sticking around because of the good vibes.  The instructors are all very knowledgeable, as well as being cheerful, positive, encouraging and nurturing in their roles.  If you have pain issues, asymmetries, and other bodily weirdness, they’re all great at accommodating your limitations and helping you find movements you can do instead of forcing yourself into poses that hurt.  The cost is higher than a standard gym membership, but I’m getting such good instruction and encouragement that it’s worth it.
