Scoliosis massage and effective elimination of the problem

Scoliosis, we, most often, “earn” in childhood. This is sitting at a desk in a skewed position, and bags on one shoulder (especially important for girls). Today, doctors write a diagnosis in a medical book for every second schoolchild: scoliosis. How to remove scoliosis? We will tell you how effective massage is for the problem of scoliosis, and why massage should be the basis of treatment.

Therapeutic massage for scoliosis has the main goal: to relax the muscles of the back and here’s why. Since scoliosis is an arcuate deformity of the spine, the muscles of the concave vertebral zone are in a state of constant tension. The muscles of the convex zone are strongly weakened. It is important that the concave area of ​​the spine is relaxed. The muscles on the inside should be stretched and relaxed as on the outside. Some experts believe that the opposite is true: the convex zone is in constant tension, and the inner zone is relaxed. In any case, it is important to relax the muscles near the spine.

Scoliosis in children

The concavity zone is the lower back, so rubbing and vibration techniques are required here. The same techniques are used for thoracic massage. How to massage a child with scoliosis? The massage is performed in several positions: on the back, on the stomach, on the side. The procedure ends with stroking and rubbing in order to completely relax the muscles of different zones (spine, thoracic region, lumbar region).
