Praise For: Scoliosis Ancillary Adjusting Protocols and Home Care

My three takeaway:
1. Identify 2 most common types of scoliosis (rotary and inferior tippage).
2. Properly assess and adjust T11/12 because it is a key area for scoliosis patients.
3. Additional blocking and homecare to help rebalance musculature and aid in reversing scoliosis and symptoms.

I have a better understanding of how to address patients with scoliosis in practice and can offer home exercises that will help as well

I’m currently working on a 20-year-old with severe scoliosis. I’m hoping the additional blocking will help her even more with the muscle disbalance in her upper back

Yes, I would recommend this course. Very useful information and tips that I haven’t heard before

“My three takeaways from this program:
1. The blocking procedures, none of the doctors in our office knew how to do that so we just adjusted our scoliosis patients. This gives us a chance to help those patients more.
2. The home exercises and blocking procedures. We have a lot of patients asking if there is anything they can do at home so now we have more information to give them to help when they are not in the office.
3. The adjustment procedures focus on T11-T12. We would always just adjust side posture into the convexity of the curve and that was it.

This program has impacted my life professionally because we see a lot of scoliosis patients and now I have more ways to be able to help those patients instead of doing what I was before. This will be able to help them more. Personally it helps me understand why I am doing the adjustment and blocking procedures and how it is helping these patients.

I have a 15 year-old with a 35 degree curve to the right. It is an inferior tippage curve and since using this adjustment and the blocking techniques on him he has noticed more relief than just the adjustment I was doing before.

I would recommend this course to others because the course information is very helpful and it is put in a way that is understandable and easy to follow.”

“This course helped me to have more of an understanding of the different kinds of scoliosis, familiarizing myself more with the various usages of the blocks, and lastly, I loved the home exercises. Patients are always looking for something they can do at home.

Historically, I’ve not been confident with scoliosis correction, but now I would like to see more patients with scoliosis. The other day, I was able to confidently block someone with a mild scoliosis.

I would recommend this program. It was easy to follow and not daunting to implement.”

“My three takeaways:
1. Calcification occurs on the side of concavity.
2. Placement of the side of the blocks are different from supine (concavity) and prone (convexity) for S-curve scoliosis.
3. Home care protocol is very important for management of scoliosis patients.

If I can help scoliosis patients more, my practice will grow more. But one patient who is 70s seems to be getting better after 2 visits. This should be a good start.

I’m looking forward to using this technique for my patients more and seeing the outcomes of them.”

“My three takeaways from the program are:
1. That there is rotational scoliosis, inferior tippage, and compensatory.
2. That using a roll placed underneath the pelvis will open up T11-T12 to adjust P-A.
3. Exercises to do at home for scoliosis.

I feel as if I can treat scoliosis patients with more confidence and give them more things to do at home to improve their curves.

I have been using the roll more with patients under the pelvis to open up t11 or t12 depending on which has inferior tippage and which is more tender.

I recommend this program. It’s a great refresher course at the beginning and it gives great detail into blocking protocols and exercises that I have not learned before.

Thank you for all that you and Nancy do for our profession.”
