“I cannot find “centre” without a visual aid or specific instruction.” A Scoliosis client shares the effect a Scoli can have.

Michelle Larson worked with Eve Gentry for nine years, and has over forty years experience teaching fitness, movement, rehabilitation and dance. She is certainly a leader in the field of working with scoliosis and offers this advice in the July Peak Pilates News.

FreeForm board available through aokhealth.com Designed by an Aussie and endorsed by our very own Brad Leeon from Leeon and Shaw Pilates in Sydney. I have played with this one and it is very stable, strong and well made, with a nice grippy concave surface to really give you feedback.

Orbit available through Balanced Body via HF Industries. It doesn’t look as stable or as well engineered as the FreeForm, but I have yet to play.
