I have gone and read so many things about pilates and how can I benefit from it, and if it helps my scoliosis curvature.
I went thru this page: http://pilatesedge.wordpress.com/
And in there you can see a story about a lady with scoliosis that got her back straighter with pilates.
I read also so many things about muscular weakness issue and how it can make the curve in the back. So I started to search for a local pilates instructor and a friend told me about someone who is really well known.
The pilates instructor told me that it seems my curvature wasnt there when I was born, and that it developed later on. Also that my muscules are tight and they need to be released and she said she developed a 6 months program to help me straighten my back.
My back now is between 29-34 degrees. I have thoracic curvature with a slight bend in my lumbar side. I do pilates twice a week, Mondays and Wednesdays, and she said later she would like me to do 3x a week. So we will see till then.
I have had 3 sessions till now and it has been going on well. I will take a pic of my back on Monday so record it and she wants to take another one on my 3rd month and then on my 6th. Once I finish this I will post my results. So I will come here and tell you all if pilates can help straighten the spine or not.
Wish me good luck, please.
Cheers to all.
Just forgot to add, Im a femaled, 29yrs old, married and has a 2 year old son. Was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 14 because of back pain, and went to do a month of GPR therapy. Since then the case is frozen and have not done much. Over the year it increased to 29-34 degrees.
