Welcome to Scolio-Pilates Module 2

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 towards 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.
