Scoliosis

Scoliosis and Osteopathy

Osteopathy uses a holistic, gentle and individualized approach that looks at how the body functions as a whole — not just the curvature of the spine (Selkäkanava).

When treating scoliosis, osteopaths use a range of hands-on techniques such as mobilization, soft-tissue massage, stretches and movement- and posture-based exercises.

These methods can ease pain, reduce muscle tension and improve mobility — even if they don’t correct the structural curve of the spine. Osteopathy is often used as a complementary therapy alongside exercise, supports or other treatments.
