The source is an interview between Ferid and Caroline Berger de Fémynie, discussing the pathology of the knee and its rehabilitation through Pilates programming. Caroline, an expert, explains that knee pain often results from a global imbalance originating in the hip and ankle, leading to conditions like chondropathy and patellofemoral syndrome. She outlines her comprehensive five-phase approach to rehabilitation, which moves sequentially through isometrics for stability, concentric work for initial strength, eccentrics for control and absorption, isotonics for fluidity, and finally, stretching for physical memory and relaxation. This structured methodology, which views the knee as a "relationship to reconstruct" rather than just a problem to fix, is taught to instructors in a specialized Stott Pilates certification course focusing on injuries and special populations.
