1What is massage for?
Massage helps reduce the muscle tension that develops with scoliosis, improve blood circulation and relieve pain.
- Reduces muscle spasms
- Improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow
- Increases the flexibility of the spine
- Corrects muscle imbalance
- Creates an overall feeling of comfort and calm
- Supports the healing processes
2Don’t believe the myths
Massage will not “dislocate” the spine, nor will it straighten the curve on its own. A comprehensive approach is essential in treating scoliosis: osteopathy, electrotherapy and physical modalities, correct exercises and specialist supervision.
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
