Certified and Crafted
Scoliosis Pilates is a specific exercise form designed to improve the lives of those living with scoliosis. Scoliosis, by definition, is a sideways curvature of the spine with or without rotation. Severe cases can lead to chronic pain, lung and heart damage, and a noticeable change in appearance which can result in self-consciousness. Those who regularly perform scoliosis specific exercises frequently improve their vital capacity, strength and function – life’s activities become easier. With Rebel Moves Scoliosis Pilates you can work on creating stronger and more mobile spine function. Most, but not all, participants can expect to see increased mobility, reduced pain, increased vital capacity (breathing function), increased strength and increased self-esteem. You will be guided in understanding how to make corrections towards alignment based on your unique scoliosis and practice under supervision. Also, you will receive a practice schedule for at home so that you can work on your improvement daily. Regular practice in the studio will help you progress and support your success.
Rebel Moves Scoliosis Pilates is instructed by the owner of Rebel Moves Pilates, Martina Villinger.
