Scoliosis is a condition seen frequently at Therapeutics Unlimited. Patients presenting for evaluation can be children, adolescents, and even adults, as there are many different types of scoliosis. The causes for the various types of scoliosis are often multifactorial, with each patient presenting with their own unique needs. Therefore it is critical to seek a healthcare professional that possesses a thorough knowledge of the spinal anatomy and understanding of the intricate biomechanics of the spine.
Since each region of the spine functions uniquely, and since each and every patient is different, the “art” of exercise selection and combined manual therapy techniques is essential. Manual therapy techniques can entail various joint and soft tissue techniques to then allow subsequent exercise interventions to be more effective.
Lastly, effective breathing techniques are utilized to further assist in spinal alignment correction, as well as positively affecting relaxation of the neurological system.
The clinicians at Therapeutics Unlimited have advanced training in these areas of manual therapy and corrective spinal exercises, and consistently optimize clinical outcomes for their scoliosis patients.
