Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. While manual therapy cannot reverse scoliosis or change the curvature of the spine, it can help manage symptoms, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life for individuals with scoliosis. Here’s how we can help:
Many individuals with scoliosis experience back pain due to muscle imbalances, postural changes, and increased pressure on the spinal joints. Bowen therapy, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy can help alleviate muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve overall comfort.
Stretching and joint mobilization techniques, can help improve flexibility and mobility in individuals with scoliosis. By targeting tight muscles and stiff joints, we help enhance range of motion, making it easier to perform daily activities and maintain an active lifestyle.
While manual therapy cannot correct the structural curvature of the spine in scoliosis, it can help improve postural alignment and symmetry. Our therapist will assess posture and biomechanics to identify any compensatory patterns or muscle imbalances associated with scoliosis. Through targeted exercises, stretches, and manual technique, this can help promote better postural alignment and reduce strain on the spine.
Strengthening the muscles of the core, including the abdominal, back, and pelvic muscles, can help provide support to the spine and improve stability in individuals with scoliosis. We can prescribe specific exercises and techniques to strengthen the core muscles, which can help reduce pain, improve posture, and enhance functional mobility.
Scoliosis can affect respiratory function by restricting lung capacity and altering rib mechanics. Manual therapy techniques, such as rib mobilization and breathing exercises, can help improve chest expansion, enhance breathing efficiency, and alleviate respiratory symptoms associated with scoliosis.
We provide education and guidance on self-management strategies for scoliosis, including postural awareness, ergonomic principles, and lifestyle modifications. By empowering individuals with scoliosis to take an active role in their own care, manual therapy can improve self-efficacy and overall quality of life.
