Scoliosis

FOR STARTERS AND PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT

YOUR MOTHER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. Listen to her when she tells you to wear your brace or whatever it is for that matter.  

I will never forget the day I was told I had to wear a brace. It was a horrible hot heavy piece of plastic. It became a nightly routine to wake up in the middle of the night sweating and chuck the brace across the room. Yes, I was that petulant teenager who thought I was invincible. 

If I knew then what I know now, I would have worn my brace religiously as prescribed. 

Scoliosis is synonymous with spinal rotation. Imagine if you took a foam noodle and twisted it on itself, this is essentially what your spine is doing with scoliosis. Now envision moving throughout your everyday life like that… ouch. 

Scoliosis-based rehab works with these asymmetries to help achieve aligned neutral posture through a series of principles unique to your curvature.
