About This Workshop
Scoliosis and spinal fusion clients often feel isolated and orphaned by the medical and fitness communities. Integrating these populations into regular Pilates group classes can be a challenge, but is also extremely rewarding.
What's your strategy when a person with scoliosis or a spinal fusion drops into a Pilates group class you’re teaching? You most likely you totally freak out, hope you don’t hurt them, secretly pray they never come back, and hope earnestly for the hour to be over quickly. Millions of people around the world fall into these categories, and there’s a very high likelihood that if you haven’t had one drop into your classes yet, you will soon.
In this online Pilates workshop, Erin Myers will teach you how to combat the fear and to instead welcome, encourage, and guide clients who are dealing with these issues and who desperately need your help.
Concepts & Techniques
- Scoliosis analysis including dot stickers, diagram sketches, pad placement, and scoliometer readings
- Spinal fusion exercise rules and integrating them into Pilates exercises
- Stability and mobility work for scoliosis and spinal fusion clients during the same lesson
- Real-time work on a fusion and a scoliosis client in a Pilates duet
Objectives
- Develop confidence to integrate scoliosis and spinal fusion clients into Pilates group classes
- Learn how to quickly analyze scoliosis and spinal fusion clients and create a safe Pilates game plan for their body
- Learn how to modify regular Pilates exercises into safe exercises for spinal fusion clients
- Witness a group class where both a scoliosis and spinal fusion client are working out together (and they are sweating and enjoying the challenge!)

I appreciated the workshop. The materials and choreography helped me to get past reservations I have about working with individuals with scoliosis and/or spinal fusion in group settings. I appreciated the use of multiple planes of movement and equipment.Alejandra B
