SCOLIOSIS
 

We have been helping people to manage scoliosis for many years. The most common type pf scoliosis seen is idiopathic, in which case the cause is not well understood. We have found that most people are able to manage their scoliosis with an individualized program of therapeutic exercise and muscle energy techniques. The exercises are designed to achieve the optimal balance of the spinal muscles through derotation, strengthening and flexibility. With young patients, we train family members to supervise, thereby keeping the clinic visits to a minimum.

The goal of this conservative approach to scoliosis management is to allow people to participate fully in the activities of their choice throughout their lifespan.
