Pilates Movement Guidelines For People Living With Mild Scoliosis
How customized therapeutic pilates can support spinal health for scoliosis patients
Scoliosis is a physical health condition where the human spine curves sideways instead of running straight down your back. People living with scoliosis often struggle with uneven shoulder height, one sided back muscle tightness, persistent back ache and asymmetrical body posture. General group fitness classes with standard one size fits all pilates sequences are not suitable, because generic movements may worsen spinal muscle imbalances.
Important safety reminders and why you must work with a scoliosis specialized instructor
Specially modified therapeutic Pilates, taught by an instructor with extra scoliosis rehabilitation training, can be extremely helpful. Custom designed workouts aim to release over tight muscles on the curved side of your spine, strengthen weak stretched muscles on the opposite side, improve your three dimensional spinal awareness and reduce daily life back discomfort. This article is not medical advice. All people with scoliosis must consult their orthopedic healthcare specialist before starting any new pilates based fitness or rehabilitation training plan.
