BIO

ABSTRACT

Ainslie McLean is an Entrepreneur with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and International Business, a Comprehensively Certified Pilates Instructor and a Certified Laser Safety Officer. Ainslie is also a breast cancer survivor and a Wellness Advocate. She is an athlete and movement specialist and focuses on healing chronic pain through movement, not medicine. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, she launched ReformUPilates, LLC in 2009, the first studio of its kind in Alabama. Specializing in managing chronic pain through movement, ReformUPilates offers boutique-style Pilates with a clinical rehabilitation focus. Ainslie's tailored programs enhance flexibility, stability, core strength, balance, and coordination using specialized Pilates apparatus, including resistance training, cardio, and lymphatic stimulation with minimal joint impact. 

This presentation explores the use of Pilates on the apparatus as a valuable tool for rehabilitation and injury prevention in cancer survivors. Pilates, a movement system founded by Joseph Pilates, emphasizes core strength, flexibility, and balance, making it an ideal option for patients recovering from surgery or cancer treatments. Using apparatus like the Reformer and Cadillac, Pilates offers safe, low-impact exercises that can be tailored to meet individual needs.
The presentation will highlight the six foundational principles of Pilates—breath, concentration, centering, control, precision, and flow—and their role in improving mobility, posture, and alignment. Attendees will also learn how Pilates enhances core stability, strengthens bones, and supports cardiovascular health, making it a comprehensive tool for recovery. By incorporating Pilates into post-cancer care plans, health professionals can offer a safe and effective movement strategy to help patients regain strength and quality of life.
