WHAT IS SCOLIACTIVE​?

ScoliActive™ is a provider of education for people with  spinal disorders and their fitness and therapy providers.  Our  goal is to help  people with scoliosis, hyperkyphosis and other spine  pathologies remain active in fitness and life.

Professional Continuing Education:  Education courses are geared to therapists and fitness trainers whose clients include  adults with  scoliosis and spinal disorders.  Physical therapists Hagit Berdishevsky and Lise Stolze have partnered to provide online and in-person courses  on fitness modifications for this population.  
 
This platform provides information about the 3-part online course series  Scoliosis and Spinal Conditions Fitness Master Course  and  links to access the online course videos. It also provides details about upcoming in-person lab courses.  

​Client and Patient Education:  
Soon we will  provide separate video content  for patients and clients who may not have a fitness trainer  or  therapy  provider and want to understand how to modify movement based on their condition. 

PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION

SCOLIOSIS AND SPINAL CONDITIONS FITNESS MASTER COURSE

This comprehensive continuing education course is designed for certified fitness instructors and physical therapists who want to understand best practice recommendations for how to modify fitness exercises for adults with spinal conditions based on evaluation of risk factors and movement competence.

By the end of this course the student will be able to: 1) apply evidence based tools to help determine which adults are at higher risk for progression of their spinal condition 2) understand radiographic findings and movement assessment outcomes 3) apply postural and breathing techniques to reduce sagittal and frontal plane postural compression and 4) develop a fitness and lifestyle activity plan for the patient or client that will  motivate them  to stay fit for life as they continue to improve their spinal condition.

​Three course modules guide the learner through the clinical assessment process necessary to help select safe, healthy, fitness-focused exercises from the following disciplines: yoga, Pilates, weight lifting and suspension training. 

Students will learn variations from each exercise discipline and develop confidence in  effectively managing spinal conditions according to the latest research that supports the proposed intervention options.
