Understanding Scoliosis
Scoliosis is characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, which may affect posture, balance, and muscle symmetry. While it varies in severity, it can lead to discomfort and functional limitations. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, we conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the curvature and its impact. Treatment includes manual therapy, corrective exercises, soft tissue techniques, and postural training to improve alignment, muscle balance, and overall function.
