“Or because of emotional of physical stress”
Amen to that!!
Interesting to see a battle between two different systems below - Scroth and Somatics! I simply quote a well-known violinist and violin teacher. "If your teacher tells you there is only one way to do something...find another teacher!" There is a certain philosophical adage, namely that there are THREE GOOD ways of doing anything!
Wonderful explanation. Thank you.
Great explanation ! 👍
Great information! Thank you!
what an awesome video. thanks.
thank you so much for the information
Awesome video
Yup, makes perfect sense
I definitely feel that my tight muscles contribute to how bad my scoliosis looks and feels. Yoga helps a lot and also exercising to get the blood flow to all those muscle. It’s about maintenance. I’ve been thinking for a while now that I could get my spine straighter and the curve that I have (c-curve) is just residue of when is was more curved. It was s-curved. I think also partly the reason that it got better is that my family opted to go to a chiropractor and non- traditional treatments for scoliosis. I really appreciate how you put my theory into medical terms and backed it up with science and statistics. Thank you for spreading your knowledge.
Wonderful explanation.
I think your explanation was wonderful however, I think saying “chiropractic” doesn’t work may be a broad statement. Chiropractic comprises of many useful tools. It is not a one step approach but otherwise all else was well said.
HI MAM WHEN I SAW YOU FIRST , I THOUGHT STEFFY GRAPH ... THANKS FOR VIDEO ..
Yes finally someone related that. $45 per session
This video was recently brought to my attention and I felt immediately compelled to comment, in order to safeguard parents and patients from some of the erroneous medical statements here.
I am a member of the Scoliosis Research Society and SOSORT, a Schroth certified physical therapist, and huge patient advocate for education.
First, Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis still does not have a well identified known cause, but we actually DO know alot. It is NOT caused by tight muscles, poor posture, or backpacks. It is a multi-factorial disease that impacts the growth of discs, joint structures, and bones of the spine. It IS a structural issue. We know it starts in the discs and joints and moves into the bones. The growth becomes asymetrical, thus changing the shape of the structures to a wedge shape. This wedge shape then has a different biomechanical movement pattern based on physics/geometry. A wedge shape cannot bend purely in 1 direction but must now couple with rotation. Thus the classic Forward Bending Test or Adams Test used to screen for scoliosis. When you bend forward the now wedge shaped structures in the thoracic spine cause the connected ribs to rotate and a measurable prominence results. The Scoliometer is used to measure this rotation.
One of the most misleading concepts for patients with scoliosis is that the protruding body segment is "tight muscles" when in fact it is the physical rotation of the vertebral bodies that is present in scoliosis, a 3-Dimensional change in the spine, NOT just lateral.
Bracing and Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis Specific Exercises are the 2 research based treatments that impact this structurally. Vitamin D has also been recently studied as impacting the biochemistry of this condition and progression risk. The main problem with current treatment for AIS is that we have no known predictors for who will be small, medium or large curves that require surgery. Research continues to drive forward to better understand the multi causes, predictors and treatment parameters.
Lastly, there are several key additional medical conditions that SHOULD be a part of any child, teen, adult medical evaluation BEFORE exercising!!!!! For example, the high % of people with joint hypermobility, muscles and structures are TOO loose, not tight, or tethered spinal cords.
PLEASE, seek proper medical evaluation and treatment for this condition.
Hi ! I am a 16 year old girl from Romania. I have been doing the schroth therapy for more than 2 years by now and in the first year my curve went from a 54-56° to 35-40°. It really is a life saver. No doctor or surgeon trusted me or the people that helped me. I was basically going to go and schedule my surgery a week after I found out about this therapy. It is kinda new to the "market" and not many people know about it. Now I am still wearing my brace and I still to exercises 2 times a week even though I should be doing them 5-7 times a week (I am very busy with school). I do them at home and with my physical therapists. I am not planning on getting the surgery any time soon. It's sad that this therapy doesn't get the credit that it deserves.
Elisabetta Diac so you’re 16 and your scoliosis curve decreased!!! I’m so happy to hear that cause I’m 16 too but my doctor told me that it’s to late for my curve to decrease
@@iiitsnoor It's not too late at all! This is the best time for you to decrease you curve! I'm not a doctor, but have looked into a lot of clinics that help and they all say people your age can reduce their curves! Take a look at something like the Clear Scoliosis Reduction Center in Clearwater, FL. I am not advocating for this clinic in particular, but just to show there are places out there that can help. This one is expensive, but I think there are other options. Also take a look at Schroth and find an experienced therapist. I think the key is understanding what exercises you need to perform for your curve and really sticking with them.
Thank you so much for this comment. I have been battling shoulder and upper back pain and just yesterday was diagnosed with scoliosis. Now I am really susceptible to these kinds of videos. So good to have an actual professional opinion
@@Stephanie-vv1tx List of certified therapists in different parts of the world: schrothbestpractice.com/physical-rehabilitation-schroth-best-practice-standard/
listening to your presentation has been such a help for me you have such a wonderful way of explaining scoliosis.
I wish I could just sit and talk with you about my scoliosis
and work with you to correct it.
God bless you!
Here's the cure. Yes, I said that. th-cam.com/video/WulczaNGhLo/w-d-xo.html
@@benjyberele I like your thinking because I think the exact same way I have watched this man's video before but I have never applied any of it play honestly I'm always nervous because I'm afraid that if I do something that I ought not to do that I will make the scoliosis worse and at this point I really don't want to do that do you have scoliosis and did you use this technique if so tell me how did it work for you
@@EternaLivesMatter Yes, this worked for me personally, here's my story. In my childhood, I noticed that my fingers were crooked. I was diagnosed with scoliosis-lorrdosis when I was 12(around the end of 2014). I was given classic Physical therapy, which helped a bit, but I wasn't that motivated, ya know, it didn't help that much. I more or less quit for a few years.
Come junior year of high school, I hit my growth spurt and my back would hurt like hell all the time. I battled with it, and did generic PT for a year/year and a half.
Come winter break of my senior year, I was browsing youtube and I found this guy as my heart skipped a beat, it was too good to be true.
Well, one of my friends who was a massage therapist, told me countless times when I showed it to her, "No, you can't cure scoliosis. The only way you can cure it-surgery. This guy doesn't know what he's talking about."
I ignored her, figuring, what do I have to lose?
Well, it worked! I had moderate to severe Scoliosis a year ago, and my spine is more or less normal now. I can't thank this guy enough times and I'm much happier and healthier now.
@@benjyberele wow that is so exciting to hear I am so happy for you I have scoliosis myself and my story is pretty much the same as yours most people don't think that it can be reversed without surgery although surgery doesn't do anything but make it worse I'm so grateful I never had surgery and I'm so grateful you didn't either and I'm going to do my best to make time and pray God for the energy and strength that it will take to do this routine hopefully I'll be able to check back and let you know how it's going I really appreciate the link and your comments so encouraging to me please forgive me I am recording this response so you can't add end punctuation LOL must be driving you insane God bless you
@@EternaLivesMatter
Thanks!
Yeah, no problem! Good luck.
PS:If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? The younger you are, the faster this works.
my tight back muscles experience a lot of inflammation and severe pain, my scoliosis progressed from 15 degrees to 43 in 8 months
damn that sucks....though how are you copying with the pain, its a shitty question because i know you in lotta pain but i feel for you. i have scoliosis which annoys so bad but hearring how some1 is sailing through does give me mental strength and enduarance. So much love for u
😢😣
gg, that's big rip, i sort of counter it by working out and making sure both side equally strong, atleast if the non tight side pulls away from the tighter side abit it prevent from getting worse
Dejan yea ive started working out more since last year. Having a way easier time moving around and doing some sports but still have the pain :/
simba #!phibion lots of advil
I suffering from scoliosis since last five years
I have the c..its really bad to get up sometimes..i try to walk must of the time
If my muscles are tight on the left will my peak be on the left or right? My is on the right but my tight muscle is on the left.
This seems like mixing some (helpful) truth with advertisement and some messing with the mind of the ignorant. And this is not the only person who does this kind of thing on youtube and the real world.
Does cracking your back with scoliosis make it worse
I got tight muscles i could feel them tensing up when i became a mom.
And being in an unhealthy relationship and feeling in a constant state of fight or flight. My shoulders would feel like they were up to my ears.
Im trying to relax and calm the heck down. But its really hard because i live in India and don't have fri3nds really and feel very alone and isolated.
Now im a believer of the healing arts and really looking for a professional masseuse.
Do you think cupping helps? Man i love that cupping with hot glass and oil its so nice
Do you have any success stories? I love your perspective but have you seen people improve their curve doing so? That would be much appreciated. Lots of specialists say they ‘know’, I learned over the years that evidence for any theory is important 😊

i wonder... how many people with scoliosis are being tested for dental occlusion ...
Adrian Puiu ...i don't know why you bring the dental thing .let me share something to you , have been diagnosed to scoliosis and am doing some exercise ( by my self ) and when am stretching my back and shoulders I can feel the strong tension in my teeth .and by the way last 4 teeth are deformed and I have a missing tooth in front but this one doesn't have any open space while I lost it like when I was 6 years old .
@@satansatan777 MAY BE THERE IS SOME RELATION , BECAUSE MY SON ALSO SUFFERING FROM SCOLIOSIS , AND HIS FRONT TOOTH ARE ALSO IN DEFORMED CONDITION .
@@jkj1459 one thing that helps me a lot is physical exercise (balanced )
balanced ... right and left side this is so important . watch carefully the angle you're body is making when you do each activity with the left or right . you're body must be exactly laterally inverted but since youre backbone has got a problem
it is not easy to be so. make an effort to make your body laterally inverted to every simple left and right activitys then you will notice the change .me doing it like now for the past 3 years and the change is amazing and am 40 years old .. body is not easy at this age but still I got so many positive
results and to the most me thank the all mighty .
I wish you the beast
@@satansatan777 I have severe scoliosis due to my spinal muscles being knotted and pulling my spine out of place following an accident I was in, yet I have perfect teeth. I'm so confused as to how the two are linked there
Exactly! It all starts at the top...with the teeth.
I've spinal injury and my body is curved and rotate. Watching your videos made me confident that I just need to work on my stiff muscles to fix the vertebral column. Can cupping help people like me in relaxing the tight muscles?
I'm so sorry to hear about your injury. Cupping will not help your chronically tight muscles to release. You'll need to retrain your nervous system using active movement; namely, pandiculation: somaticmovementcenter.com/pandiculation-what-is-pandiculation/
There are a lot of resources to help you get started on my website, and you'll also find my book very helpful in understanding how you developed your patterns of muscle tension. I hope that helps!

@@somaticmovementcenter that's sad, because being a quadriplegic I was thinking that cupping therapy might help as most of my back muscles are paralyzed and I can perform only limited excercises. Hoping to get some benefits from your book I ordered. Though please suggest if there's any other method that might help me straighten my spine.
Growing up without regular exercize and without stretching and slouching forward on a sofa/sedentary lifestyle during childhood formative years and eating junk food, lack of nutrition altogether these factors are the cause of scoliosis in most cases. Psychology plays a role too as to why some kids cary themselves poorly.
That sounds retarded. I know a lot of lazy people and they live full pain free lives.
Not true. My aunt and I both have severe scoliosis that required surgery. I had my surgery at 12 for severe S scoliosis. My aunt had surgery in her mid-20s for severe C scoliosis. I also knew another girl who had severe C scoliosis. All of us were very active and ate healthy. This was back in the 70's and 80's when most people were active and ate healthy. We were all of a normal and were more on the thin side. If what you said was true, we would have A LOT more people coming into doctor's offices with scoliosis. Everyone should have an active lifestyle and eat healthy. Not doing this can cause a lot of health issues like obesity, diabetes, cardiac issues, etc., but scoliosis is not one of them.
where can i get this pendiculation treatment in NY or we can do it ourselves at home?
please anyone direct me
thank you 🙏🏻
