Private 1:1 Scoliosis Pilates

Prior to the session, we kindly request that the client provides their spine X-ray, which allows us to conduct three-dimensional measurements:

• Measurement of the degree of curvature (Cobb Angle)

• Identification of curve pattern and location

• Assessment of vertebral rotation 

• Evaluation of pelvic obliquity and alignment

 

(Note: Although an X-ray is not mandatory for our session, it is highly recommended, as it significantly improves the accuracy of our measurements.)

A baseline visual and mechanical posture assessment is performed to determine the position and extent of rotational asymmetry and spinal curvature.

 

Movement tests, along with a scoliometer, will be utilized to:

• Measure the Angle of Trunk Rotation (ATR)

• Identify the primary curve(s)

• Determine the weight-bearing leg

Corrective wedges are used to realign your spine and maintain optimal alignment while you move. These wedges assist in:

• De-rotating the spine and guiding it a neutral position

• Opening compressed areas and elongating the shorter side of the torso

​

Additionally, 3D de-rotation and directional breathing techniques are utilized to enhance ribcage alignment.

Tailored to your scoliosis curves, we prescribe specific exercises utilizing various Pilates equipment, including the Reformer, Tower, Wunda Chair, and Barrel, to focus on:

• Lengthening the spine

• Stabilizing the core 

• Achieving balanced muscle activation without worsening asymmetry
