Hi There! In my opinion, not being either a Stott, or Polestar trained Pilates teacher, I would tell you that it’s not as much the training program (by brand) that a teacher has completed that is important, but the specific Pilates teacher’s knowledge, experience level, and understanding of the Pilates system, as well as the specific needs of the client that needs to be considered.

There are great, (and not so great) teachers out there that have come out of lots of different training programs. Interview the teachers you are considering working with. Find out who they’ve studied with, how long they’ve done Pilates, how many hours they had to complete for their training, what other health, fitness, or rehabilitation expeience they have, and if they have experience working with clients who have scoliosis.

It’s also always appropriate to ask for references and referrals. Can you talk with current and past clients to get a feel for their experience and the benefits they received from working with the Pilates teacher you are considering?

You might also take a couple lessons with each of the teachers. Since you’re also comparing “styles” or different training backgrounds, you might find that you resonnate better with one vs. the other – and this will help you make the decision to pick the best Pilates teacher for you.

Pilates should be great to help you stay strong, fit, and flexible, and you’re young enough that starting now will make a huge difference for your spine and scoliosis. If you have any other questions, let me know.

Best of Luck to you in finding a great Pilates teacher to help you discover the benefits of Pilates. Keep me posted and let me know how it goes.

Hi Patsy!

Great question. Necks are tricky. Yes I believe that you can still do Pilates safely! BUT – I would encourage you to get your Dr.’s approval prior to starting, AND group classes would not be appropriate.

Working one-on-one with a well-qualified Pilates teacher however, would be beneficial.

There are probably some posture and body alignment things that need to be adjusted. and there are many, many Pilates exercises that can be done in a neutral position to keep your head and neck safely supported until things are more stable and are not causing you aggravation. Working one-on-one means that a personalized program can be created for you to keep you healthy and moving, and help get your body in better balance to help your neck feel better.

Please keep me posted and let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you!
