Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Inclusion Criteria:
- To participate in the study and complete the survey, it was specified that participants needed to:
- Have undertaken some form of formal Pilates instruction training, such as the Matwork Foundation Pilates courses with the APPI (Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute) or BCP (Body Control Pilates, 2018). Physiotherapists did not have to be a fully certified instructor to participate in the study, however, they must have completed a minimum of one formal Pilates Instruction course. Participants were required to specify this in the demographics section of the survey.
- Be registered with the HCPC (Health and Care Professions council) to currently practice as a Physiotherapist without restriction in the UK. The reasoning for only surveying Physiotherapists is in keeping with the rationale of previous studies (Wells et al., 2014; Allen, 2014; Brennan and French, 2008). Who have advocated that including only Physiotherapists with formal Pilates training guarantees similar standards of practice of participants, as standards and qualification level may vary otherwise. Additionally, extending the survey to other practioners would make further comparisons challenging through data analysis.
- Be computer literate, have e-mail access, time to commit to completion of the survey, and ability to understand written English language.
