A local therapist that specializes in Pilates has said that she attended training where a woman with a fairly severe spine curvature was able to use Pilates to straighten her posture significantly. The therapist said the woman with scoliosis showed her normal curvature. Then she bent over, and began to straighten up, focusing on specific muscle groups that one learns to identify in Pilates. Although not perfectly straight, she was able to substantially improve her posture.
I do trust this therapist because she has been highly effective in treating other back problems I have had. I just wonder what others that are professionals in this field think about Pilates and its ability to help people with my condition. I do have a curve of 30+ degrees, and have had scoliosis since childhood. I am now 58.
I'm looking for healthy things I can do now to keep the curve from advancing. Thank you for sharing your insights.
