Im a therapeutic massage therapist and this is Beautiful work you do. I really love the simple approach you do and the results are great. I have alot of scoliosis patients and I use myofascial Release on many of them. I myself have had 3 spine fusions form T3 to my sacrum as well as Harrington rods and screws. I wish I would have found you when I was a child. Peace

@@averyjoycelynbarakudablock4139 I wore a brace also from age 7 to 11. It really made my back muscles weak. I feel it is one reason the scoliosis got so bad that I needed Fusion. How are you now. Are you in alot of pain from your scoliosis surgery?

Wonderful! It's so similar to the iyengar yoga practice! I have worked hard to build up the self awareness of my back, given I have the similar spine with the young handsome model, physically and mindfully with the termination of disciplining and letting go of the muscles. Very fine and patient practice.

[@bcg374]

How long does the correction last after the guided exercises? Your treatment results are amazing.

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Lasts longer the more you do it

[@gardenwaller]

How can this create lasting change when we do schorth and put the spine in correct position and let the muscles work in that correct position for maybe 30 minutes per day. When we then have the muscles working in the wrong position the other 23 hours and 30 minutes of the day? How can this tiny amount of correct position counteract that the muscles are working in the wrong position for 95% of the time during a day? Thanks for all the videos

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

That is a great question. You are right, the amount of time you are actively doing the exercises is minimal compared to the whole day. The reason it works is as we are doing Schroth corrections, we are retraining the muscles how to be in a better position. Then we try to integrate the correction into everyday activities. If we can integrate them more, then it happens more subconciously and changes our movement patterns. That, in turn, creates better correction during the day when you are not doing the exercises. Hope that helps!

[@gardenwaller]

Also, can a lower arch on one foot cause a discrepancy? Thank you

Hi there just one question. I have a scoliotic spinal assymetry (thoracic spine 7.9 degrees and lumbar spine 9.32 degrees) I am 20 years old male. Can Schroth therapy reduce my curve and maybe bring it down to zero degrees or at least improve my posture to someone with a 0 degree spine?

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

[@judochemistry]

Thanks for the replies. I moved to Tokyo and had a brace made by Schroth Best Practice Japan. I think it helps the thoracic curve but I think there might be compensation of pressure into my lower back so I don't use it often recently, because I will get lower back pain.

Please make him do exercises for scoliosis, don’t wait until the curve increases or it will be much worse in the future. If he is 9 he can maybe revert back to a normal spine with enough exercises!

[@iliamarco4963]

He can definitely reverse his curve completely. Find a Schroth Method Therapist and make him do the excersises even if he protests or doesn't want to. He will be grateful to you later. My parents didn't force me to do it and now I have a pretty bad Kyphosis and a slight scoliosis and only a month ago went to my local Schroth Method therapist. I regret my actions deeply as I could've helped my curve by a large margin, now when my spine is practically unfixable and now I can't do as much fitness as I'd like to and can't get as strong as I'd like to. By the way I'm 19 years old and maybe still have a chance of slightly reducing the degree of my curve but your son has a lot more time so make him do it

I have mild scoliosis in my upper back. Jumping (especially if I’m playing a sport like basketball) can be painful after a while. Jogging on a treadmill or outside is typically fine for me. You could also try using a stationary bike or ice skating

[@ChapsShrugged]

I'd recommend a "nerve therapist"- its pretty painful, but you'll get a clear idea of problem areas. I'm thinking the most direct treatment would be "Chiropractic Biophysics", or "CBP"- basically they lock your body in a vice and force it to adjust- but its intense, my friend said its totally common for people to cry super hard- but not out of just pain- neuromuscular holding patterns from stress or emotion. Peopel laugh uncontrollably too... but I think that'd be the quickest way. I don't have funding right now, but I HAVE been to a nerve therapist. For self-treatment, I've been laying on the floor, trying to "feel" the backside of my body "contact evenly" and hold that position for 10-20 minutes, while continuing to breathe- full, steady- to relax. Sometimes I can FEEL foot, hip, shoulder, leg, spine muscles relax and when they do- its heaven to feel balanced for a few hours. But it only works SOMETIMES haha. But I can't just stretch normally or do yoga, because sometimes it makes things worse. Also-read/listen to a book called "Breath" by James Nestor- that's what led me here. There's a German gal whose name escapes me, who used breathwork and cured not only her scoliosis, but 150 or so other women back in the first half of the 20th century. Chapter 4,5, or 6 of Breath. That's what I'm looking for is "orthopedic breathing". Good luck to you!

Not just another opinion on how to deal with scoliosis theoretically with thousands of other ones out there. Thank you!

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Great question! The point of my videos...to help people see that there are more things that can be done for scoliosis. The number of people who actually live in my area that see these videos is very small. As you can see, I am not rolling in money from KZbin since it takes a lot more views than what I am getting. I do hope to have some people who live in the area come and see me for treatment because I truly believe and have seen this work. That is also backed by research. There is no exercise based treatment that has more research to back it! Hands down. The rest of the people who watch this video I hope it helps them to get the best care they can. To say this is theoretical is no accurate. Please do your own homework on this and see if it is right for you. I do plenty of videos that are self help and you are welcome to watch them. Be real though, KZbin is made for marketing and to get information out there for people to learn but also to build a business. Otherwise, I can't, and others can't, continue to post things just out of the goodness of their hearts. Take the principles I talk about and find someone who can really help you get the results you want. Good Luck!
