• Degree of curve
• Location of curve

Do any of these stories sound familiar? These are quotes from our clients when describing their own breathing.

“I couldn’t play the whole game. Because sometimes I just can’t breathe.” 14-year-old soccer player, California

“Sometimes I wheeze when I first start to swim and then my body seems to calibrate.” 45-year-old swimmer, Virginia

“I’m just waiting for my last breath.” 35-year-old mother of one, Vietnam

This short course has been created for the professional practitioner working with scoliosis patients and clients. However, all are welcome to join. In this course you will learn:

• The difference between breathing into the scoliosis pattern or breathing to create change

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 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.
