Managing Adult Scoliosis & Kyphosis

Adults and seniors with diagnoses like Scoliosis and Kyphosis are experiencing positive outcomes through physiotherapy, particularly when degenerative changes, osteoporosis, or osteoarthritis are also present. The mature adult spine can be less flexible and demands a targeted focus on enhancing body mechanics, posture, and daily movement. Treatment objectives for adults revolve around these aspects, with the correction of scoliotic posture being pivotal to impede structural progression and alleviate pain. Conservative treatments, aiming to enhance scoliosis-related body appearance, hold significance across age groups, significantly impacting quality of life and emphasizing the aesthetic dimension. This physiotherapy approach is indispensable in effectively managing spinal asymmetries.

Honour Yourself During the Holidays

The holidays can be a time of loving reunions, catch-ups, heartfelt connections, and joy, or they can be filled with obligations, expectations, and old patterns with emerging drama. When we can empower ourselves to know we have a choice as to where to best put our energies, what to let go of and forgive, and where to take a stand and set boundaries, we honour ourselves. Despite the illusion of social media, the “perfect family” does not exist where all things look “wonderful and together” all the time. Instead, the holidays offer us the perfect opportunity to stay true and nurture ourselves in the midst of giving and receiving.
