Christina Ritchmond is so passionate about working with scoliosis warriors that she has been growing her private practice into a Scoliosis Wellness Center.
Christina was diagnosed with Adolescent Scoliosis at age 9, wore a Boston Brace 22 hours a day and then had Spinal Fusion surgery at age 13. Her struggles with chronic pain as a young adult inspired her to become a licensed massage therapist. After having children and battling postpartum depression, Christina turned to yoga. Through yoga, she found the mental strength to get the help she needed. That experience gave Christina the confidence to become a yoga teacher. Shortly after she started teaching, she found a community of scoliosis warriors. That is when everything changed!
Christina began going to scoliosis workshops and continued to want to learn more. That’s when she found Scolio-Pilates! The Scolio-Pilates has been a game changer for her and her clients. After becoming a Scolio-Pilates Practitioner, Christina found a bigger drive to create a safe space for her fellow scoli’s. A place for us to build physical and mental strength, to relax, to learn and grow as a community. Currently, Christina offers private Scolio-Pilates sessions, small group movement classes and massage therapy. Christina is excited to grow and offer more services that can help the Scoliosis Community in Vancouver, WA / Portland, OR area.
Authorized Scolio-Pilates® Practitioner since September 2022
