The different response could be that Figgy likely has straight AIS whereas you have muscle dystonia-related scoliosis. You have an unusual curve anyway whereas Figgy's is the most common curve type for AIS.Last edited by Pooka1; 05-02-2012, 02:46 PM.Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

And she is claiming the light massage took away her pain. She is not claiming it reduced her curve. That would be an extraordinary claim that would require extraordinary proof. Also, she has no radiograph from after the light massage as far as I know so she can't claim it reduced the curve.
It is probably physically impossible for one light massage to reduce a structural curve.

Figgy, it is so refreshing having someone like you come on the group to bring rationality and therefore repsectibility to the world of adult conservative treatments. We have some rational, even scientific, threads dealing with kids but not so many for adults.
So refreshing to see threads that don't continually jump the rails. Thank you.Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

Originally posted by figgy View PostI have to say, i do think I lucked out with my practitioner. he was an anatomy teacher, and physiotherapist as well as a remedial masseur and Bowen therapist. Bowen therapy done properly involves an expert knowledge of human biology, it is an extremely precise application of myofascial release. I read your thread re deep tissue massage and I have been in that boat - I have had deep tissue massages which have left me feeling like Ive been beaten up and then run over by a truck. A good masseuse should be able to "read" your tissues and detect that you are in more pain than will benefit you. I hope you have a good massage experience one day, even just a relaxing swedish massage for the effect on your mind is so worth it

Anyway I was referring to the fact that I never knew before other case about an 18 y.o girl with so many degrees not having surgery. According to the photos, supposing the pose is the same (not more straight) it looks for me as a curve with some less degrees and it would not be something impossible. Of course what is really important is that her curve seems to be stable and she is out of pain. I’m sure that massages are necessaries, surely not sufficient but necessaries.. I continue looking for different kinds in my country and I'm not sure which could be the best..
