Scoliosis massage therapy TorontoScoliosis-Related Muscle Pain

Scoliosis-related pain can be structural (from the bony structure itself) or functional (driven by imbalances in muscle, gait, walking patterns and daily activities). I screen for which is which, and if it looks structural, I confirm with your doctor via X-ray. Correction — bracing for growing teens, or surgery — is left to specialists, outside my scope, but I can help manage discomfort and comfort either way.

Not a diagnosis — for more information, contact me or another trusted healthcare provider.

For functional scoliosis, there's a lot I can help with — on the table, deep tissue, myofascial release, and stretching to open things up and get the body moving; off the table, home exercises and lacrosse ball self-release, plus adjustments to job, sleep and sport habits that add strain. If you have X-rays or imaging reports, I'd love to see them before your first treatment. I might be giving my job away, but I think everyone should have the tools to take care of themselves.
