Managing Scoliosis
The attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind, fully capable of performing our many daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.
J. Pilates
While it’s true scoliosis may not have a cure, one can certainly manage it. An optimal approach must definitely: i. ‘Honor’ the existing spinal deviation, performing moves within the frame of the body ii) help the person to find and re-calibrate the body closer to a postural alignment.
My experience managing scoliosis has been fueled by the ever present need to deal with my own scoliosis, my training in Pilates and other movement modalities, my knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology, and finally my experience as a patient at the Katharina Schroth Klinik in Germany.
I combine:
- Pilates
- breathing techniques inspired by the Schroth Method
- gentle medical Qigong exercises
- and Manual Therapy
