Mermaid on the Chair is a beginner-intermediate exercise, which focuses on the Pilates principle of Spine articulation. In this instance into side flexion. This exercise is primarily focusing on the mobility of the lateral spine, hips and shoulders. The resistance of the spring on the chair pedals also makes this an exercise for scapular stability while also providing feedback for upper extremity organisation. It challenges biomechanical alignment of the spine, pelvis along with co-ordination of the upper body and shoulders.

Mermaid is a great exercise for anyone but especially for those who want to improve the mobility of the spine, decreasing hip and low back tension and developing pelvic stability with dissociation of the torso.

Tips:
- Keep pelvis aligned and seat bones evenly weighted throughout.
- Aim to grow the spine out of the pelvis into the spine extension, keeping the alignment of ear, shoulder, hip when viewed at the side.

Avoid:
- Losing the weight in the opposing hip, aiming to keep the pelvis evenly weighted.
- Allowing the ribcage to ‘flare’ or translate to the side, compression the spine rather than lengthening into side flexion.

*** Exercise is best done under the guidance of a qualified practitioner, and each exercise should be tailored to suit each client's individual goals & requirements. If you would like to book an assessment with one of our exercise Specialists, please email; dunedinpt@backinmotion.co.nz ***
