Abstract
This thesis proposes a mental training program to act in conjunction with the Pilates Method. Literature on the Pilates Method itself is reviewed along with literature concerning injury and pain research, qualitative research design, and pertinent optimal performance techniques. The case study format and process is described and includes specific examples of researcher-participant interaction. Interviews were conducted with several Pilates instructors throughout the country. These descriptions are provided and further areas of research are proposed.
