Your At-Home Scolio-Pilates® Toolbox
Welcome to the world of Scolio-Pilates, where the journey to a balanced and strengthened spine begins right at your home. For scolis navigating the challenges of managing their scoliosis, maintaining and improving spinal alignment is crucial. With a Scolio-Pilates toolbox, you are ensuring your at-home practice is both effective and nurturing.
Wedges: Your Foundation for Balance
The Scolio-Wedges begin to nudge the scoliosis spine towards a more balanced position. Use them for relaxing and restoring at the end of the day, or use them while exercising to strengthen your more balanced alignment.
TOGU Ball/Squishy Ball: Breathe and Challenge
We use the soft and grippy TOGU ball to facilitate deeper breathing in your hollow and create a tactile response. Then, during standing exercises, it introduces an element of challenge since the TOGU Ball is strong enough to kneel, lay, and stand on.
Awesome Toes: Step Towards Balance
Awesome Toes, the activewear toe spacers, emerge as a simple yet profound tool. By addressing the often-overlooked hardship of toe gripping in scoliosis sufferers, these spacers not only alleviate foot pain, but also enhance balance. Walking becomes a more holistic and stable experience, effectively engaging all your toes.
Thick Mat: Gentle Support for Your Spine
A Thick Mat ensures that every movement and pose is cushioned, catering especially to the convexities of your spine. The comfort and ease it provides are unmatched, making your practice more enjoyable and effective.
Big Ball: Stability in Motion
Stability, stability, stability. The Big Ball (55’ or 65’) helps you anchor your exercises with stability. It is our go-to for core exercise. Beyond serving as a tool for pelvic translation, it’s pivotal in enhancing your balance and control during various poses.
Resistance Band: Stretch Towards Alignment
An 8-foot-long latex-free Resistance Band (or two standard bands connected) is a versatile tool for providing biofeedback, aiding in exercises aimed at closing the rib cage, and closing the chain to enhance your understanding of body position.
K-Wedge: Passive Alignment, Active Strengthening
K-Spine Wedges are designed to allow gravity to do its job of passively bringing the spine closer to a better alignment. Relax, rest, and elongate. When you’re ready, the K-Spine Wedges will help you maintain good alignment while strengthening.
