Nic is back with another conversation recorded live at the Pilates Gathering in Scotland. Cameron Angus and Nic explore how the worlds of physiotherapy and Pilates intertwine to create more resilient, mindful, and connected movers and teachers.With decades of experience spanning the battlefield, physiotherapy clinics, and now his own Pilates studio, Cameron shares the fascinating evolution of his work and how Pilates became central to helping people move better, recover from injury, and reconnect with their bodies.He and Nic discuss the emotional and psychological dimensions of posture and pain, why communication is the most under-taught skill in movement education, and how teachers can support clients in building awareness and confidence.Timestamps00:00 Intro to Cameron Angus01:49 How the Pilates Gathering came about03:48 From military life to Pilates studio owner08:51 The influence of physiotherapy on Pilates10:06 How Cameron got into military physio12:30 Cameron’s Pilates studio13:10 How Cameron’s teaching has evolved based on his experiences17:28 Blending the sensory side of Pilates into the biomechanical side18:01 Why a positive environment accelerates rehabilitation20:32 How posture reflects belief systems and emotional states23:38 Communication, cueing, and helping clients manage pain28:25 Reflecting on growth and professional development36:10 Quick fire questionsIf this episode inspired you, please subscribe, rate, and share it with another teacher or movement professional who would love it too.
