Challenge your practice with a Scolio-Pilates Professional Seminar!

Scolio-Pilates Module II builds upon the pre-requisite, ScolioPilates Module I, Anatomy of Scoliosis.

We will dive deeper into understanding the anatomy of scoliosis and use that understanding to define the curves of scoliosis (3, 4 and thoraco-lumbar curves). Once we define the curves we can begin to understand how to correct those curves towards 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.

This course will cover:

• Assessment of scoliosis
• Definition of 3, 4 and thoraco-lumbar curves
• Alignment for scoliosis
• Best modifications for improved alignment in prone, supine, seated and standing
• Exercises in prone, supine, seated and standing for bringing the spine closer to a more neutral position
• Class planning for scoliosis
