BMI and Scoliosis

July 26, 2017

A recent study, referenced here, has indicated that having a low BMI (Body Mass Index) can increase one’s risk of developing scoliosis, particularly when combined with classical ballet training. Erin Myers of Spiral Spine Pilates was trained in classical ballet, was diagnosed with scoliosis at a young age, and was thin, like most dancers are. She explains how a low BMI can potentially delay the start of puberty, giving scoliosis ample opportunity to affect the spine.

Video 2 of a 3-part series. Part 1 is already up on the blog; be sure to keep following to see part 3 coming soon.

Check my latest blog post on spiralspine.com where I give you a straightforward answer to this very commonly asked question. #newcareer #pilatesinstructor #dreamjob #spiralspine #balancedbody #pilates #pilatesteachertraining #pilatesnashville
Instagram post 2192264685930207063_2235036003 I’m sifting through mounds of research that has been sitting on my desk for almost a year and came across this drawing I thought I’d share. Notice the change of shape to the ribs and vertebra right to left. Many people have these changes due to the uneven pull that scoli present on the body. Nice visual image. #scoliosis #spiralspine #bentbutnotbroken #scoliosiswarrior
