As I wrap up this blog series about treatments for scoliosis, let’s explore one of the most promising therapeutic interventions. It is called Redcord NEURAC (NEURomuscular ACtivation) and it comes from Norway. Utilizing a zero-gravity suspension exercise system, this groundbreaking yet gentle approach specifically targets what many consider to be the foundation of spinal stability: our deep intrinsic core muscles. The relationship between core stability and scoliosis has been a subject of interest in the rehabilitation community.

In my previous blog post, I discussed how Structural Integration (SI) can be a powerful tool for managing pain and tightness associated with scoliosis and postural dysfunction. Today, I will explore another promising non-surgical approach: Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT). OMPT is both an orthopedic assessment and manual therapy approach that employs various hands-on techniques to improve how you look, feel and move.

In my previous blog post, I introduced 3 non-surgical treatment options for scoliosis: Structural Integration (SI), Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT), and Neuromuscular Activation (NEURAC). Today, I am taking a closer look specifically at Structural Integration and how it can be a powerful tool in helping you manage soft tissue pain and tightness associated with scoliosis and postural dysfunction.

Have you been experiencing chronic back pain or neck pain and learned that it may be due to scoliosis or postural dysfunction? Would you like to be able to perform your daily activities, recreation and exercise to improve your health but they often result in increased pain? Scoliosis of the spine is an abnormal curvature that typically develops during adolescence. Left untreated, it can significantly impact your quality of life.
