Stopping Scoliosis by Nancy J. Hooper Pdf

Scoliosis—curvature of the spine—is a disorder so common that twenty states now require screening of preteens. One in every fifty American youngsters is affected by it. While scoliosis is an upsetting condition, it can almost always be treated if detected early. Written by a scoliosis sufferer, Stopping Scoliosis takes the reader through every stage of the condition. It discusses ways to diagnose scoliosis before exploring all the options for treating it—both surgical and non-surgical. The advancements in bracing and surgical techniques that have been made in the past few years are examined in detail. Also included are methods for managing pain, tips on how to prepare for surgery, and compelling patient stories from people of all ages. Endorsed by the National Scoliosis Foundation, this is the most comprehensive, up-to-date book on scoliosis available.

ONLY the patients can do the exercises, NOBODY else can do the exercises for them. I combined the observation of the Adams test that a functional scoliosis straightens when the patient bends forwards, and similar exercises that professional athletes do daily to have healthy, strong spines with no abnormal spinal curves to design the SPINAL ACTIVE FLEXION EXERCISES (S.A.F.E.)The exercises are simple and easy to do in the privacy of their homes in their own bed, without any equipment. No need to go to the gym or any excuse of no time to exercise. All they have to do is do the exercises daily and their spine and posture will thank them .S.ELIAAUTHORN.B.
