I'm going to give it a try, and hoping it might help some. I've had scoliosis for a very very long time. It makes me mad that after my diagnosis no treatment options were given back in the day. It was discovered by accident during a chest x-ray when I was 18, and the "best" my doctor could offer was, "too bad we didn't catch it 2 years ago, we could have done something about it." As I got older and internet came along, when I was doing my research I discovered that I could have had a brace when I was a kid (although I understand they don't do that anymore), and what made me really mad is that I read often that doctors routinely check a child's back during each check-up. That NEVER happened, ever. Even though it's 50 years ago, at that time physio and/or massage was very common so I don't understand why that wasn't suggested (I'm only assuming it might have helped) and also the doctor practiced Asian therapies so I don't know why any alternatives weren't offered. If I could have read the future I would have tried out all therapies.

This is really interesting! I know there's "so many possible videos, so little time", but pointers for musicians would be great, too. Every instrument has its problem positions... I know when I first noticed back pain as a kid it was when I was doing long sessions at the piano. I'm not sure if this is possible, but I suspect some of my scoliosis can be attributed to that, as well as carrying a French horn home everyday, as well as a ton of school books. In those days nobody used backpacks for school (only hiking) - it was all shoulder bags. I recently was teaching myself flute, that brings on a whole bunch of other problems. I gave that up as I'm now taking lessons on the harp ... More aches and pains. Some of it will be due to pre-existing conditions, but probably the unusual postures that musicians have to do don't help. I've heard guitar is one of the worst.

@marthadahlen7237 Жыл бұрын
I have been doing this several times a day, for 2-3 days. I feel taller, but it seems I have more back ache. My question: Should we do this in micromovements, like a traditional Feldenkrais exercise, or should we do this like a typical stretching exercise, pushing the limit? I guess the point here is to twist the hips relative to the shoulder girdle. When I push my right knee forward, lifting my right hip, my shoulders remain on the floor. Pushing my left knee forward tends to engage my left shoulder. I guess the left-knee-forward is untwisting my scoliosis. Now: Should I push that left knee very slowly, mindfully, stopping when I feel the shoulder engage? Or should I push it forward more insistently, actively trying to keep the left shoulder down? Thanks, Taro!
@TaroIwamoto Жыл бұрын
I would never try to push the limit whether I am doing Feldenkrais lessons or regular exercises. My general recommendation is to focus on quality more than quantity, that applies to this movement too. This is about retraining the nervous system and movement patterns, so you can say I always apply Feldenkrais principles to any movement training. If you reduce effort and speed and movement range, and focus on improving smoothness of movement, you will notice more improvements without increase in back ache.

A more important question is how your scoliosis is affecting your body and functions and how you can improve your functions and comfort in your body. It is easy to focus on correcting the spine curvature, which is understandable, but understanding how your habitual movement patterns are contributing to your scoliosis is more useful as you will know what you need to change in order to improve your functions.

i have not heard about that. I dont see a connection between cervical lordosis and scoliosis. But, lets first acknowledge the fact that everyone has scoliosis to some degree. It is rather abnormal not have scoliosis. A better question to ask is how is scoliosis affecting your functions and movement. If it is contributing to much compensation and decreased functions, we can certainly improve movement quality and functions. That is the focus of this video, and almost all of my videos. From my experience my feeling is that its not very helpful to try to identify every little things that are not perfect per anatomy because each person has a unique body and functions and anatomy book ideal does not fit. Just because people have cervical lordosis, that does not mean that is a problem that needs to be fixed. I have hip labral tear, arthritic knee and hip, lots of degenerative joints and discs, loose bodies in both ankles, cervical lordosis, lumbar scoliosis, etc. Does that mean I need to fix them. Not necessarily. You see how easy it is to label ourselves and make us feel like a mess that needs lots of fixing? It is much more helpful to focus on improving movement and improving whole, not like fixing broken computers.

You are welcome:) The dominant side usually carries more tension as it is used more often

It's weird to see how big of a difference I had between the left side and right side. Bending to the left went so much easier.

@@TaroIwamoto I try to do both creating new options and habits. I work with my hands, having a left hand that can occasionally take over task from the right might also benefit me in the long run.
