I just received a GREAT question via email:<\/p>\n

\n

Karena, How will Scolio-Pilates help ALL my clients?\u00a0 I only have one scoliosis client, is this really worth it to me?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

GREAT question!<\/h3>\n

\"Karena<\/a><\/p>\n

Scoliotic spines are just like the rest of the spines you work with. The only difference? They are an exaggeration of all those other spines.<\/p>\n

Remember when you were learning about kyphosis (stooped posture) for the first time? And the image that your instructor used or demonstrated was of a person with an extreme\u00a0stooped posture. Kind of like this:<\/p>\n

\"Improve<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, after teaching\u00a0for awhile, you now know that kyphosis doesn’t have to look like that in order to be an issue. It can be a much milder version. It will still affect\u00a0how the shoulders rotate, how the neck turns and even the mobility of the\u00a0hips. Your client\u00a0might even have such\u00a0a slight kyphosis that it wouldn’t even necessarily be described as kyphosis. But you recognize the traits and the side-effects enough to keep your clients and patients safe from things like over-extension of the shoulder joint, too much\u00a0rotation\u00a0of the cervical spine\u00a0and anything but moderate movement at the hip joints.<\/p>\n

So, again…How will ScolioPilates help all my clients?<\/h3>\n

The same idea of extreme versus subtle applies to scoliosis. When you learn the more “extreme” version of spinal changes that occur in scoliosis, you learn about the same but more subtle changes that all spines make.<\/p>\n

Scoliosis is made up of rotations, side-bends and a series of hyper-kyhpotic and hyper-lordotic areas of the spine. It’s complex. In scoliosis, the right side is almost always doing something different than the left. The hips and the shoulder joints are directly effected. The arms and the legs are indirectly but strongly affected as well.<\/p>\n

What are some of the things you might be more acutely aware of after a Scolio-Pilates\u00ae workshop? In all of your clients you most likely be more aware of the following:<\/p>\n
