Having found therapy for my headache and sinus problems, I knew there must be an answer for scoliosis. If my spine was curved, I hypothesized, maybe tight muscles were pulling it out of alignment. No doctor had ever checked my muscles, so in 1980 I consulted a Pfrimmer deep muscle therapist. He began manipulative therapy to loosen or release the muscles and initiate correction of the scoliosis. In 1984 I was introduced to myofascial release therapy, which involves working with the body's fascia.
Fascia forms a weblike structure that attaches to every structure in the body.
It can become distorted and rigid from trauma and inflammation, causing tension and pain. I underwent treatment, and later used the concepts to treat my own patients. The combination of muscle and fascial therapies gradually corrected almost all my scoliosis, and my spine and body structures are now normal. My Conclusions These principles and therapies changed my physical health and professional career dramatically . . . If you view health as a jig-saw puzzle, these are key pieces of the total picture.
