Resume:
Melanie Byford-Young has been pioneering the use of STOTT PILATES to assist with physical rehabilitation and therapeutic conditioning for over eight years. In 2007, she revamped the entire rehabilitation training program for STOTT PILATES INTERNATIONAL, including the development of a new instructor curriculum and training materials.
Melanie was originally a licensed physical therapist, graduating from McMaster University in Ontario with a Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy in 1991. She also earned the Canadian Physiotherapy Association’s Certificate in manual and manipulative physiotherapy and has taken specialized orthopedic courses on the shoulder, cervical spine, foot mechanics and running mechanics.
In 2001, Melanie started teaching STOTT PILATES courses and workshops and co-founded Pacific NW Pilates in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington. Melanie’s ground-breaking approach to incorporating STOTT PILATES principles with physical therapy and conditioning has put her in high demand among pilates and other fitness instructors and medical professionals. She has taught courses and workshops throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe for STOTT PILATES and has made guest appearances at conferences such as IDEA World Fitness and Body Mind Spirit.
