Dr. McIntire, I want to know if I am mistaken in what I think about muscles activity or behavior. I think they have nothing to do in helping the spine to remains straight in the frontal plane.
The reasoning is very simple: I have not scoliosis, I can remains sitting down in a bench, with my back supported by a wall and I’ll remains with 0°. No matter if I am awake, asleep or unconscious. I am sure that even if I am dead, my spine will remains straight in the frontal plane.
So I conclude it is not a dynamic problem but static, so lower or heigh tone, strength o weakness, has nothing to do for help a normal spine to remains straight.
So I conclude there is not any reason to suppose it could help in an adult spine with a frontal curve to reduce that curve.
During growth, a wrong muscular behavior could lead to increase the curve, as a wrong posture could too. As posture, muscular activity is part of a list of ‘original’ causes, but not current causes. I could remains in a bad posture and I’ll remain with 0°. I could not say the same about normal vertebra shape, ligaments tension, joints rigidity, discs resistance.. so I think that a treatment should to be focused in that static factors (fascias are dynamic or statics?) as I think that length of muscles could also be.
Do you think am I mistaken? In fact I will be happy if would know that I am mistaken, because my daughter is following a mainly muscle oriented treatment, but I need to know the truth.
Thanks in advance
