Thought this might be of interest to anyone looking for strategies to address pain management. It is just the beginning, in my opinion, of more research to come on the significance of fascia and associated treatment methods in relation to scoliosis.

Structural Integration (a.k.a. - Rolfing) would be the most specific and specialized type of myofascial release work... Offering the greatest opportunity for positive results.

Here's the link to the case study.

p.s. - Random myofascial work ( i.e. - in the wrong places) can make a situation much worse. Be aware of this before jumping at the first person you find offering the work.
