Ep 66: To Make Music of What Remains

This podcast interviews Dr. Suzanne Martin, author of "Spinal Asymmetry and Scoliosis," about her work in Pilates and scoliosis treatment. The conversation covers Dr. Martin's background in dance and physical therapy, her approach to scoliosis treatment which emphasizes whole-body movement and functional harmony rather than strict correction, and her new book aimed at equipping Pilates instructors to work with clients with spinal asymmetries. Dr. Martin introduces the concepts of a "three E strategy" (ergonomics, exercise, emotion) and a movement acquisition strategy ("imagine, think, feel"). Listeners gain insight into a holistic approach to scoliosis management and practical strategies for Pilates instructors to work with clients who have spinal deviations.
