Welcome to Scoliosis and Dancers 

Course Agenda Coming soon

“If only I had found Suzanne and Scolio-Pilates sooner! I danced with a chronic ankle injury for 2+ years, and no amount of physical therapy could fix the nagging pain. It was only after working with Suzanne that my ankle pain resolved permanently. My eyes have been opened to the advantage of understanding the idiosyncrasies of the body as an athlete. Now, I can’t go more than 2 weeks without checking in with Suzanne and working on my alignment!” – SS, professional dancer helped by Suzanne’s techniques that you will learn in this enhancement module.

In Scolio-Pilates Module 2, 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 align 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.
