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 scoliosis. The course includes both theoretical and practical components, focusing on exercises using different mat and Pilates equipment such as the Reformer, Cadillac and the Chair.

Detailed discussions will cover the physiological changes that occur in the spine, ribs, and pelvis due to scoliosis, providing a solid foundation for understanding the condition. We will discuss progression of scoliosis and other treatment methods like surgery and bracing.
