For Teachers: Thrilling New Way To Work With Scoliosis

It is logical, isn’t it? To side-bend for scoliosis? After all, if you see a curve in the upper back, or thoracic spine, that side-bends to the right, doesn’t it make perfect sense to reverse that by side-bending to the left? Yes, it makes perfect sense. And I’ve done it too, but here’s why it doesn’t always work:

Scoliosis is a spiral that is held in place by bony structure, ligaments, tendons, and a complex fascial network. The scoliosis spiral moves in three planes of motion: 1. Front to back: sagittal plane, 2. Rotation: transverse plane,

3. Side-to-side: coronal plane.
