We’ve talked about scoliosis-specific exercise in another blog, <\/a>but what about other exercises? What is safe? What should we avoid? Will they make the scoliosis worse?<\/p>\n

When someone begins a scoliosis-specific exercise program, like Scolio-Pilates, their next question is can I still… [fill in the blank with your favorite activity]? The short answer is, “yes.”\u00a0 The longer answer comes when you tell us that you are in pain when you do whatever it is that you love.<\/p>\n

Often, when someone begins Scolio-Pilates, all their activities begin to feel better. They go back to yoga classes, weightlifting, cycling, gardening, etc.\u00a0 However, sometimes it’s not that easy. Sometimes they want to return, but the activity causes pain. Then we have to work together to find out exactly what it is that your body is not tolerating well. Is it the side-bends in yoga? The rotations in gardening? The repetitive movement in cycling? Or the compression in weightlifting? Whatever it is, it can generally be worked with. We can either find workarounds or “work-withs.”\u00a0 Sometimes its a matter of thinking about the same scoliosis corrections that we are performing in Scolio-Pilates and simply applying those to the activities you love. That makes it a win-win. You are doing your Scolio-Pilates homework and what you love to do, all at the same time. Perfect. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Another common concern that we get is, “Will [fill in your favorite exercise] make my curve worse.\u00a0 There is no evidence for this, and believe me, the scientists have definitely been looking for a connection. Take dance, for example. Approximately 25% of all professional dancers have scoliosis. Well, that seems to say that dance causes scoliosis. Or maybe it just makes it worse to the point of being diagnosable. This has been studied often, very often. Still, there is no connection. Perhaps the connection is simply that those with scoliosis also tend to have looser connective tissue, making them perfect candidates for dance that requires greater than normal flexibility.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The goal of Scolio-Pilates is to add exercise management to the model of scoliosis treatment.\u00a0 In Europe scoliosis, specific exercise is much more accepted.\u00a0 Two of the main European schools are The Schroth Method<\/a> in Germany <\/span>and SEAS<\/a> in Italy<\/span>.\u00a0 There are seven major schools for scoliosis specific exercise, and they are all in Europe.\u00a0 Here is a great article reviewing the seven schools \u201cPhysiotherapy scoliosis-specific exercises – a comprehensive review of the seven major schools<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Scolio-Pilates is the only US-based school striving to bring not only scoliosis-specific exercise to North America but also internationally.\u00a0 We are currently on four continents, teaching professionals how to help their clients and patients with scoliosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
