Scoliosis has been part of the recorded medical history for the last 3,500 years and our understanding of it is obviously much improved since then, but still poorly understood overall. The newest research and understanding of the condition points to it being primarily a neuro-hormonal cause and the spinal curve (the scoliosis) is a reaction/ primary symptom.

Scoliosis bracing and scoliosis surgery are based on the old philosophy that scoliosis is soley a spine disease, not primarily a neuro-hormonal condition that causes a spine disease, so their methodology is based on a "treat the spine only" mentality and this is reflected in the poor results each methodoloy displays in long-term research studies. Essentially, scoliosis brace treatment is worthless and scoliosis surgery may be worse than doing nothing at all in many cases.

Here is where our scoliosis treatment system/methodology comes into the mix. We recognize that scoliosis is primarily a neuro-hormonal condition and the spinal curve is merely a symptom of the underlying disease, which is why our program/product and message is so refreashing and unique.....and hopefully appealing and accepted.

Patients/parents are entering the scoliosis treatment process at different points and at very different levels of experience with scoliosis treatment. The biggest difference isn't education about scoliosis or financial restraints, but rather sense of urgency.

The current scoliosis treatment model uniformally follows the guidelines of curves 0-25* are observed only/ no treatment; curves 25*-40* are recommended for some sort of bracing; and curves 40* and larger are recommended for scoliosis surgery, which is not medically necessary and primarily indicated for cosmetic improvement of the spinal/toso deformity. Keep in mind that some of the long-term scoliosis surgery studies indicate failure rates as high as 40% only 17 years post op.

So the mother who googles "scoliosis treatment" after learning her 12 year old daughter has a mild scoliosis curvature and the ortho doctor has told her it's not big deal and we will just re-evaluate it again in 6 months has a low sense of urgency, but enough concern to go out on the internet and do some checking around for her own piece of mind. While the mother with a 14 year old daughter with a scoliosis spine of 45* and the orthopedic surgeon is pushing her hard (usually via guild or fear) to schedule her daughter for scoliosis surgery ASAP is coming into the scoliosis treatment process with a high sense of ugency and anxiety sense of urgency. The mother's with daughters in scoliosis braces are generally already in the process, but at their wits end, because their kid refuses to wear the brace or it isn't working, so the are left with a sense of frustration and defeat, instead of a sense of urgency.


We understand the scoliosis treatment process is confusing and frustrating. Many consider it out-dated and techologically obselete in many ways. We agree that we need a better way and that is the goal of creating a scoliosis exercise based treatment approach that permanently re-trains the brain to learn how to hold the scoliosis spine in a straighter position automatically. We know it sounds too good be true to many, but some times the good things are true. We need a better way and we hope you agree that future scoliosis treatments must make the transition towards minimally invasive, exercises for scoliosis based approachs that target the neuro-hormonal causes of the scoliosis condition and not just the scoliosis curve.
