Joining me today to talk about the exercise cornerstone called Footwork is my friend and colleague, Susannah Cotrone, co-owner of Cotrone Pilates in Los Angeles who has her own take on the power of Footwork. When I was going through the certification program with Romana Kryzanowska in 1994, she told us that the Reformer workout always began with Footwork because Joe, while developing his method, created Footwork to help straighten his bowed legs. But he had other ideas as to how Footwork would be beneficial for the body. As we know, he was interested in the body’s full transformation and the Chinese Healing Arts came into play. It’s reported that Joe’s intention of infusing reflexology into the Footwork exercises meant that by massaging the various points in the feet, the internal organs would be stimulated. Additionally, Romana’s view of Footwork was that we could find it throughout the system, no matter which apparatus.
