Go Emmy!
Hi Emmy! I am so excited for you. What a wonderful trip it sounds like and i hope you will keep us posted on all your success. I know about that "good kind" of sore you were talking about, i've experienced that too. When i tried to describe it to a friend she said - oh, that's corrective pain - like when one wears braces on their teeth. Had to agree with her (only i think the teeth thing is not so comforting). I have not had your intensive training but the few exercises i have learned to do feel much like you describe .. feels kind of like a retraining of posture involving muscles and spine. You explain it much better than me. Oh - and i did purchase that book, thanks for the tip.
Dr. Moramarco sounds fantastic .. i'm a little envious of the DVD and photos ya know, that's pretty impressive (i only have photos of other people, but it's ok - they are better looking than me). Boy are you right about scoliosis being a life long challenge and i'd have to say that 30 minutes a day is a small price to pay for excellent results - which are sometimes measured in the smallest ways .. like being able to do just every day things pain free. A lot of recognition for Schroth in Europe for just those reasons - glad we're catching on over here (any cost paling in comparison to the remedy).
You had said earlier: The main points of Schroth for adults are improved breathing, improved posture, reduced pain, and having a sense of empowerment over your scoliosis rather than letting your scoliosis control you (i.e. working out the musculature surrounding your spine in a particular way so that it supports your spine more effortlessly). As you know my brace (of a different color) is designed to do much the same thing - along with the few Schroth exercises i do - i can definitely vouch for the fact that this does leave one with a sense of empowerment over the condition vs the other way around .. great feeling isn't it?
Wow .. good for you. Look forward to our futures!
