NC Scolio-Pilates Practitioners

Founder, Karena Thek, created Scolio-Pilates to be an easy-to-understand and easily accessible exercise program for managing scoliosis at home or with an instructor. Scolio-Pilates is a three-dimensional exercise program that utilizes:

Elongation to lengthen the spine towards neutral.

Breathing techniques to open up areas of the ribcage and lungs that are locked from the shape of the scoliosis.

Strengthening to maintain the alignment once a more neutral position is achieved.

Each client undergoes an evaluation of their specific curve and imbalances.  We cue corrections using wedges where appropriate to assist the spine towards neutral. Clients are then educated in their assignments to work at home to strengthen corrections so that we may add the spring tension of the pilates equipment during studio sessions.

Relying on the best research of our time, Scolio-Pilates has a strong breathing and fascial component that relies on the work of Chaitow, Bradley, Gilbert [authors of Recognizing and Treating Breathing Disorders] and Schleip [Fascial Fitness Expert, www.somatics.de].

Realign, Elongate, Strengthen And Breathe. Movement Heals.
