How can Massage Therapy Treatments be Beneficial for Scoliosis Management? by RMT Kelly Mawson

Massage therapy can help manage scoliosis symptoms by reducing

muscle tension and pain caused by spinal curvature(s). The focus is

directed on taut musculature on one side of the spine and weaker

musculature on the opposite side, promoting better soft tissue

balance. Techniques such as petrissage, fascial, trigger point and

myofascial release are applied. These modalities improve blood

circulation, tissue flexibility, which can ease pain, discomfort and

increase mobility. While massage does not correct the spinal curvature

itself, it can relieve associated symptoms with compensatory muscles,

improve posture, and enhance overall daily well-being. Regular massage

therapy treatments can be an effective part of a scoliosis care and

maintenance plan. Contact The Nest for more information.
