something I had considered trying for a long time, but never got to, also as we did not want to overburden L with too many treatments.
Anyway, with the concern about some loss of control, and the feeling we "had to do something" we moved on this one and this morning we saw "Claire", local osteopath who had alook at L.
Big contrast with chiropracter (2 years ago), whilst the first one was going to "get L straight" in no time (and proved it with some polaroid photographs) this osteopath seemed to have both legs firmly on the ground, stated very clearly that she could not promise to be able to improve the scoliosis, but what she could do was helping in improving/ maintaining the flexibility of the spine, which I have always considered to be key to scoliosis management. Her actions appeared to make more sense to me then the very wishy-washy witchcraft of our previous chiro, with a fair amount of pushing/ pulling/ bending in a way that you could imagine it could just about make some difference. And L really enjoyed and liked it and felt "a bit free-er" after.
OK, hope is very seductive, and when you feel really down anybody saying they might be able to help you is always going to sound good, but, as we have nothing to loose, we are going to give it a go for a couple of months.
