CONTROLOGY by Inelia Garcia & Carol Kolyniak

My role as translation editor was to edit the Portuguese-to-English manuscript to improve clarity and readability for an English-speaking audience. 10,000 words.


(Example excerpt)

Before edits:
Therefore the task of scientifically grounding the Authentic Pilates Method of Physical and Mental Conditioning (Contrology) remained a challenge for those who continued the work of its creator. To achieve this task it is legitimate to resort to all the scientific knowledge available at this time and not only to that which already existed at the time in which Joseph Pilates lived rather than limiting ourselves to the knowledge that was available during Joseph Pilates’ lifetime.

After edits:
Therefore, scientifically grounding the Authentic Pilates Method of Physical and Mental Conditioning (Contrology) has remained a challenge for those who have continued the work of Joseph Pilates. To address this, it is necessary to draw upon the full range of scientific knowledge available today, rather than limiting ourselves to what was known during his lifetime.
