coronal deviations often result from leg length discrepancy or pelvic imbalances.

the base of the spine “corkscrews” headward as the vertebral column turns on its axis.

scoliokyphosis, where the ribcage hump becomes more prominent while forward bending

CORONAL PLANE - scoliotic (side-to-side) curves are usually thought of as coronal plane deviations, but tend to occur alongside sagittal deviations eg.

TRANSVERSE PLANE - compensations often referred to as rotations or torsions.

SAGITTAL PLANE - hyperkyphosis and hyperlordosis.

Spinal curvature occurs across different planes of the body symptoms such as backaches, head/neck pain, arthritic symptoms, chest pain, and organ dysfunction are what lead people to seek help the amount of functional change in the heart, lungs, and other viscera is directly proportionate to the level of physical deformity often involves psychological and emotional disturbances often accompanied by functional changes in the thoracic and abdominal organs spinal curve does not straighten during bending or rotational movements

STRUCTURAL/FIXED SCOLIOSIS – (PRIMARY SCOLIOSIS).

The natural presence of defects in muscles, ligaments, body alignment, nutrition, or structure of the bones, will determine how people naturally sit or stand It becomes pathological if it becomes habitual. Functional scoliosis is a physiologic posture that arises from weight bearing one leg while standing. If these postural compensations continue, adjacent tissues will weaken and symptoms will become apparent.

may become fixed if left untreated due to muscle guarding where the brain will compensate for asymmetry by adapting length-tension balance in the tissues.

characterized by an asymmetric position of the trunk and back spinal curves improve with forward-bending, side bending and specific rotational movements FUNCTIONAL SCOLIOSIS – (SECONDARY SCOLIOSIS).Severe scoliosis - represents curvature of 50 degrees or moreįor therapists the type of scoliosis is more important, ie:.Moderate scoliosis - denoted by 20 to 45 degrees of curvature.Mild scoliosis - demonstrates a thoracic curve of 5 degrees to 15 degrees.Optimal spine - no scoliotic dysfunction.Scoliosis is characterised by four degrees of severity:. For those with scoliosis, standing up straight isn’t simply a case of retracting the shoulders, contracting the abdominals, bringing the head back, and lifting the torso out of the pelvis, as the hips and rib cage may be asymmetrical.

Scoliosis is often overlooked, due to its asymptomatic nature, but if it has been identified, massage therapy can be an effective way of slowing progression without surgery or having to wear braces. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, affecting 10 in every 200 children over 10 years old is the most common form, but it may be congenital, affecting infants, or degenerative, affecting older adults. The spine has a natural S-shaped curve which enables flexibility, balancing, lifting and standing, but in those with scoliosis an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine occurs, causing pain, fatigue and breathing problems.
