FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can anyone attend the Mentorship and be an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner?
No, to be an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner, you must be a professional in your field of movement or therapeutic exercise. Pilates instructors and Physical therapists are acceptable professions. If you are a professional in some other form of movement or health management techniques, please just ask us! Email Karena at Karena@osteopilates.com.
What is the process for becoming an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner?
You must first attend the Anatomy of Scoliosis course, followed by the Scolio-Pilates Seminar. After attending the Scolio-Pilates Seminar, you can register for the Scolio-Pilates Mentorship. There must be 6-12 months between your Scolio-Pilates Seminar and the Scolio-Pilates Mentorship so that you have time to practice what you learned in your first two courses. When you register for your Mentorship, you will receive a sample case study that you will use as a model to complete your own case study. This case study is part of your application to attend the Scolio-Pilates Mentorship. When your application is accepted, you can then attend the Mentorship. After the Mentorship, you will have more work to do to complete your case study.
What is the case study?
The case study is a basically a very thorough report of the work you performed with one scoliosis client/patient. You will see this client for 10 visits and report on what you did, progress you made, questions you have, and where you want to go next with this client. Please see the sample case study to help you perform this task.
What are the benefits of being an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner?
There are many. Just to name a few, you will be part of an active Facebook group where you can ask questions of Karena or the other practitioners to help you when you run into questions or need advice with clients or patients. You will be part of a quarterly online meeting to refresh your knowledge and skills of scoliosis and Scolio-Pilates. You will be invited to assist at workshops and Mentorships and eventually you may even be eligible to teach the Anatomy of Scoliosis Preparatory Scolio-Pilates Course.
From a business point of view, is there a need to help those with scoliosis?
Yes, and YES! This is a very under-served population. For several of our practitioners, once they begin seeing scoliosis clients, it becomes the biggest percentage of their clientele. We need more practitioners with a passion for serving this under-served population!
Is it going to be fun or REALLY fun?
It’s going to be REALLY fun! We always have such a great time. The entire journey of becoming an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner, can be just over a year-long process, but the rewards are great.

Welcome To Scolio-Pilates Module 2

Instructor: San San The, Scolio-Pilates Principal Educator
Location: One Space Wellness, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Dates: 27-28 September 2025

Module 2 builds upon the pre-requisite Module 1, Scolio-Pilates Professional Seminar.
We will dive deeper into understanding the anatomy of scoliosis and use that understanding to define the curves of scoliosis (3, 4, and thoracolumbar curves). Once we define the curves we can begin to understand how to correct those curves toward neutral. We use scoliosis-specific corrections and scoliosis-specific exercises to aid us in bringing our clients toward a more balanced system.
The scoliosis-specific exercises begin with corrections in the basic positions of prone, supine, side-lying, seated, and standing. Once the corrections are applied in the basic positions, we add movement to these corrections either on the mat or with the assistance of the Pilates equipment. Come learn why Scolio-Pilates, a form of Pilates that allows for modifications to assist the client with scoliosis in the Pilates studio, is now being used by children’s hospitals, physical therapy clinics, and Pilates studios worldwide to help with the management of scoliosis.

Modül 2
Tarih: 30-31 Ağustos

Saat: 09.00-18.00

Modül 2, ön koşul olan Modül 1, Scolio-Pilates® Profesyonel Semineri üzerine inşa edilmiştir.

Skolyoz anatomisini daha derinlemesine anlayacağız ve bu anlayışı skolyoz eğrilerini (3, 4 ve torakolomber eğriler) tanımlamak için kullanacağız.
Eğrileri tanımladıktan sonra, bu eğrileri nötrale doğru nasıl düzelteceğimizi anlamaya başlayabiliriz.

Hastalarımızı daha dengeli bir sisteme ulaştırmada bize yardımcı olması için skolyoza özgü düzeltmeler ve skolyoza özgü egzersizler kullanıyoruz.

Skolyoza özgü egzersizler yüzüstü, sırtüstü, yan yatma, oturma ve ayakta durma gibi temel pozisyonlarda düzeltmelerle başlar.
Düzeltmeler temel pozisyonlarda uygulandıktan sonra, bu düzeltmelere mat üzerinde veya Pilates ekipmanının yardımıyla hareket ekliyoruz.

Pilates stüdyosunda skolyozlu müşteriye yardımcı olmak için modifikasyonlara izin veren bir Pilates formu olan Scolio-Pilates®’in neden şu anda dünya çapında çocuk hastaneleri, fizik tedavi klinikleri ve Pilates stüdyoları tarafından skolyoz yönetimine yardımcı olmak için kullanıldığını öğrenin.

Instructor: Lanel Hosomi, Scolio-Pilates Principal Educator
Location: Hochiminh City, Vietnam
Dates: 31st May – 1st June 2025 (2 days)
Module 2 builds upon the pre-requisite Module 1, Scolio-Pilates Professional Seminar.
We will dive deeper into understanding the anatomy of scoliosis and use that understanding to define the curves of scoliosis (3, 4, and thoracolumbar curves). Once we define the curves we can begin to understand how to correct those curves toward neutral. We use scoliosis-specific corrections and scoliosis-specific exercises to aid us in bringing our clients toward a more balanced system.
The scoliosis-specific exercises begin with corrections in the basic positions of prone, supine, side-lying, seated, and standing. Once the corrections are applied in the basic positions, we add movement to these corrections either on the mat or with the assistance of the Pilates equipment. Come learn why Scolio-Pilates, a form of Pilates that allows for modifications to assist the client with scoliosis in the Pilates studio, is now being used by children’s hospitals, physical therapy clinics, and Pilates studios worldwide to help with the management of scoliosis.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can anyone attend the Mentorship and be an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner?
No, to be an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner, you must be a professional in your field of movement or therapeutic exercise. Pilates instructors and Physical therapists are acceptable professions. If you are a professional in some other form of movement or health management techniques, please just ask us! Email Karena at Karena@osteopilates.com.
What is the process for becoming an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner?
You must first attend the Anatomy of Scoliosis course, followed by the Scolio-Pilates Seminar. After attending the Scolio-Pilates Seminar, you can register for the Scolio-Pilates Mentorship. There must be 6-12 months between your Scolio-Pilates Seminar and the Scolio-Pilates Mentorship so that you have time to practice what you learned in your first two courses. When you register for your Mentorship, you will receive a sample case study that you will use as a model to complete your own case study. This case study is part of your application to attend the Scolio-Pilates Mentorship. When your application is accepted, you can then attend the Mentorship. After the Mentorship, you will have more work to do to complete your case study.
What is the case study?
The case study is a basically a very thorough report of the work you performed with one scoliosis client/patient. You will see this client for 10 visits and report on what you did, progress you made, questions you have, and where you want to go next with this client. Please see the sample case study to help you perform this task.
What are the benefits of being an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner?
There are many. Just to name a few, you will be part of an active Facebook group where you can ask questions of Karena or the other practitioners to help you when you run into questions or need advice with clients or patients. You will be part of a quarterly online meeting to refresh your knowledge and skills of scoliosis and Scolio-Pilates. You will be invited to assist at workshops and Mentorships and eventually you may even be eligible to teach the Anatomy of Scoliosis Preparatory Scolio-Pilates Course.
From a business point of view, is there a need to help those with scoliosis?
Yes, and YES! This is a very under-served population. For several of our practitioners, once they begin seeing scoliosis clients, it becomes the biggest percentage of their clientele. We need more practitioners with a passion for serving this under-served population!
Is it going to be fun or REALLY fun?
It’s going to be REALLY fun! We always have such a great time. The entire journey of becoming an Authorized Scolio-Pilates Practitioner, can be just over a year-long process, but the rewards are great.
