Hello Everyone.
I am a 27 yr old female with a 25 degree thoracic curve. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 17, but I didn’t receive any treatment for it because I was told it was too late. I often feel very isolated with this condition, so I am very glad to have found this forum and to see that so many other people are working hard to help one another learn, grow, and achieve a better quality of life.
Since my diagnosis I have been experimenting with exercise (yoga, pilates, and strength training) and message to address the discomfort. I have found Bikram Yoga (hot yoga) to be great for reducing pain and helping to stretch and elongate the muscles on my weak side, but no structural changes have occurred yet.
I am now considering treatment by Dr. Woggon (Clear Institute) as well as by Scoliosis Rehab Inc (Schroth method). I noticed a few people had tried these treatment options (or were considering it). Do you have any updates on your success? For anyone who has seen Dr. Woggon, did you purchase the scoliosis traction chair he recommends to continue your treatment at home?
Any feedback or advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
FJ
