Supproting Posture and Spinal Health with the TO EASE Method
Patient Profile:
- Age: 12 yrs old
- Diagnosis: Mild Scoliosis (Cobb angle of 11 degrees)
- Symptoms: Low back and neck pain, headaches
- Cause: Rapid growth, hypermobility, and postural issues
Treatment Overview:
This 12-year-old patient was diagnosed with mild scoliosis. The treatment plan focused on the TO EASE method to release muscle tension, support spinal alignment, and incorporate postural awareness into her daily movements, such as sitting, standing, and walking. We worked alongside a physiotherapist who referred her for EOS imaging to monitor her progress.
Progress and Results:
After 12 months, a follow-up EOS imaging revealed a reduction in the Cobb angle from 11 to 4 degrees. This improvement demonstrated the effectiveness of TO EASE method with education of postural awareness into daily activities.
Postural Awareness in Daily Activities:
We encourage the client to be aware of correct movement and posture throughout the day. During treatment, clients were given simple adjustments and key points to focus on during schoolwork and sports, helping to improve alignment and reduce discomfort.
Conclusion:
This case shows that early intervention and a holistic approach can significantly improve scoliosis outcomes. By collaborating with physiotherapists and using the TO EASE method, the patient experienced pain relief and improved spinal health without the need for extensive exercises.
