Welcome to Scolio-Pilates 

Scolio-Pilates is a scoliosis-specific exercise form that allows for modifications to assist the patient/client with scoliosis. It is a method used by children’s hospitals, physical therapy clinics, and Pilates studios worldwide to assist with the management of scoliosis in a conservative manner.

In this course, Scolio-Pilates welcomes those with advanced training from other scoliosis-specific exercise schools. To be approved to take this course, you must submit your school name, the level you have achieved, and proof of education from that school. Please petition to be able to take this advanced course. We thank you for understanding that not all schools/certifications will be accepted.

Things you’ll learn during this course:
