This course is designed to educate Pilates instructors on how to effectively work with students who have scoliosis. It covers the anatomy of scoliosis, diagnostic methods, treatment options, and specific exercises tailored to individuals with the condition. The course includes both theoretical and practical components, with a focus on exercises using various mat and Pilates equipment such as the Reformer and the Chair.

The theoretical portion delves into a fundamental understanding of scoliosis, beginning with its anatomy. Instructors will learn about the different types of scoliosis—including idiopathic, congenital, and neuromuscular—and how each affects spinal alignment and function. Detailed discussions will explore the physiological changes in the spine, ribs, and pelvis caused by scoliosis, providing a strong foundation for understanding the condition. The course will also address the progression of scoliosis and treatment methods such as surgery and bracing.

The practical component is designed to equip instructors with the skills needed to apply this knowledge in real-world settings. Participants will learn exercises specifically adapted for individuals with scoliosis, with a focus on improving spinal alignment, strengthening core muscles, and enhancing overall body awareness and functionality.
