About

Hi, I'm your host, Karena Thek, author and founder of Scolio-Pilates®

I began creating the exercises when I was told there was “nothing you can do for your scoliosis and back pain.” Refusing to take “no” for an answer, I dove head first into understanding existing scoliosis-specific exercises and how to apply them in the Pilates environment. Today, I travel internationally to teach Scolio-Pilates to Pilates Instructors, physiotherapists, and other medical professionals so that they may help those living with scoliosis. Outside of my scoliosis passion, you’ll find me in the water, on the water, or talking and reading about large bodies of water. I may be a fish, or I may be the missing link between dolphins and humans. Time will tell.

Really get my situation

I really enjoyed meeting you Tuesday, and having a careful assessment of my back problem I feel like you are the first person who really "gets" my situation. Thanks for the idea of making a video of the exercises I should be doing which is a great help. I didn't realize how much I was standing on one leg more than the other.

Engaging community

Thank you for allowing our engagement on the platform. This is a wonderful community. I hope that one day I can make it out to California for a scoliosis Pilates intensive. If I ever decide to give up medicine, maybe I could have a backup plan as a scoliosis Pilates practitioner!

From yoga to Scolio-Pilates

I have done yoga for scoliosis for 14 years, but needed something for strengthening. I love Pilates, and I’m so glad Pilates for scoliosis exists! My 11-year-old daughter was just diagnosed, so we’ll be training for the online classes together! I look forward to learning more about ScoliPilates with her:)

Feel much better physically and emotionally

As someone who really needs to strength train because of low bone density, I appreciate the leveling up with some of these classes. Please keep this intensity coming! I absolutely love the incorporation of all of the props. Thank you for creating such a great program. I always feel much better physically and emotionally after completing your classes.
