Pilates Exercise for Scoliosis in Brisbane

There are few specifically trained people that can teach Pilates exercise for scoliosis in Brisbane. Scoliosis of the spine simple means that at rest the spine curves slightly from side to side and not just forwards and backwards.  On some people this is relatively minor, will not result in pain, and they will be unaffected by this throughout their life.  For others the focus will be on addressing pain and or reducing the increase in this scoliosis.  

Who has scoliosis?

Scoliosis in kids and adolescents must be carefully monitored.  Through growth spurts the scoliosis can change dramatically – close monitoring will ensure that any more medical intervention occurs swiftly. No matter if more medical intervention is required or not, Pilates exercise for the scoliosis can be beneficial.  And in Brisbane, not many pilates instructors truly do this well.

As we age our spine may be prone to reducing in height (yes sorry, you get shorter as you get older), with the curvature of the scoliosis at risk of increasing – careful monitoring may again be indicated to monitor any deterioration and symptom progression. Pilates exercise for scoliosis management as we age can be beneficial if done carefully and well.
