Q. What treatment is given for scoliosis?

Scoliosis does not do well with correction alone, nor with exercise alone. We take the two together.

• Chuna manual therapy — we check from the jaw joint and the upper neck vertebrae for imbalance. Where the curvature began at the pelvis, we look at the pelvis first
• Schroth exercise — an exercise method for scoliosis that began in Germany. Three-dimensional breathing and movement matched to the direction of the curve recover function in the spine and rib cage. The aim is to build the muscles that keep posture
• Sling exercise — with the load of body weight taken off, left-right muscle imbalance is addressed
• Rolfing — releases fascia that has shortened on one side

How much the angle comes down differs with type, age and stage of growth. We do not promise numbers at the outset; we measure, measure again, and check the change together.
