Scoliosis, Schroth and Pilates with Meredith Weiss

Send us Fan MailMany movement professionals don’t yet know how valuable the principles of Schroth are in their daily teachings, especially for patients with scoliosis. So today, we decided to call on the internationally appointed SSOL Schroth Method teacher, Meredith Weiss, to help us gain a deeper understanding of scoliosis and how the Schroth Method ties into its treatment. Meredith is a licensed physical therapist, nationally-certified Pilates teacher, experienced yoga teacher, Schroth Method expert, and the founder and director of both Kioko Therapy and Physiolutions. After gaining a clearer picture of Meredith’s background, our guest walks us through the ins and outs of scoliosis, how her background in yoga and Pilates informs her current work, and everything you need to know about the Schroth Method. We also discuss common scoliosis misconceptions, the importance of self-compassion, why curiosity matters, and why every movement professional should be making greater efforts to learn more about the Schroth Method and scoliosis. Join the conversation as we learn about the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis, the effects of bad posture, and why all we need to do as movement professionals is accept and embrace our (magical) differences. Key Points From This Episode:Introducing the Schroth Method expert and two-time Founder, Meredith Weiss.Who Meredith is and what she does, and how she first fell in love with yoga and Pilates. Understanding Meredith’s biggest passion – scoliosis. How her yoga-philosophy background reveals itself in the work that she does with scoliosis.The ins and outs of the Schroth Method. Why movement professionals should be careful not to diagnose scoliosis in their clients. The three-dimensional nature of scoliosis. Why curiosity matters, and why you should always be striving to learn more. Respecting and embracing our differences. How movement professionals would do well to ground their teachings in Schroth principles.Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Meredith Weiss Email: [email protected] Meredith Weiss on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meredith-weiss-3815ba2/ Meredith Weiss on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kiokotherapy/ Free Ebook – 100 Pilates Class Themes: https://performance-fit-online.com/100-pilates-class-themesFree Ebook – Top Teaching Tips: https://performance-fit-online.com/top-teaching-tipsFree Creativity Masterclass: https://mailchi.mp/pilates-studio-nuernberg/creativity-masterclassTrain the Trainers: https://www.pilates-studio-nuernberg.com/train-the-trainers/Connect with Us: [email protected] Performance Fit Pilates: https://www.pilates-studio-nuernberg.com Performance Fit Pilates on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/performance_fit_pilatesPerformance Fit Pilates on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PerformanceFitPilates Hannah Teutscher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-teutscher/
