In our program, scoliosis clients take steps to improve their posture, core strength, and breathing with the help of MAT. SHIFT Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy is a non-invasive, gentle, muscle and bone manipulation along with exercises that can reduce the effects of scoliosis and postural issues.  Our MAT posture programs are less intense than chiropractic adjustments, relying on manual manipulation and movement therapy.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html css=”.vc_custom_1583438903391{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}”]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]

How does Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy work with scoliosis? It combines gentle, muscle and bone manipulation to correct and minimize harm to your joints as you age. Besides the correction of the curve, outcomes of a SHIFT MAT program may include:

  • Improved posture
  • Improved core stability and strength
  • Easier breathing
  • Less pain
  • Improved overall movement pattern and function
  • Improved self-management and understanding of the spine
  • Better pelvis alignment

Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy: Reduce Progression of Scoliosis

The main goal of SHIFT Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy is to prevent scoliosis from advancing and improve movement, reducing wear and tear in joints. We work together with your body, movement and breathing in addition to your lifestyle outside of the SHIFT.

Results depend on your age, bone maturity and the degree of curvature. Managing scoliosis with MAT is an option for patients who want to avoid surgery. Some exercises are done on the massage table, with Schroth bars for fine-tuning movements of specific areas. Every movement in your treatment plan is customized to your needs and curvature. The length and frequency of treatment largely depends on the age, tolerance, and extent of scoliosis as well as your goals and compliance with home exercises.
