Connecting Conditions and Goals

Appilates intelligently links medical conditions with functional goals to propose training targets. These targets guide instructors in selecting safe and effective Pilates exercises.

Example:

• Condition: Lower back pain
• Goal: Reduce back pain
• Training targets: Core stabilization, lumbar mobility, posture correction

Progress Tracking

For each condition or goal, studios can configure trackable metrics:

• Pain scale (1–10)
• Mobility scale (e.g., 1–5 or degrees of movement)
• Custom numeric values (e.g., repetitions, endurance levels)

Client Dashboard Integration

• Clients see charts of their progress over time.
• A Rate Now button allows clients to log current pain or mobility levels.
• Tracking can be done by staff or directly by the client.

Benefits

• Early detection of stagnation
• Stronger client engagement
• Reinforces the value of Pilates in achieving health goals

Best Practices

• Keep medical records concise and relevant to Pilates practice.
• Update goals regularly to reflect client progress.
• Review automatic notes before sessions.
• Use filters/tags to group clients with similar needs (e.g., rehab, prenatal).
• When editing health information, use the inbuilt Re-evaluate option to set yourself a reminder to check in on your client.
