The thing with muscles is that they remember and are creatures of habit. When a joint is in a particular position for a long period of time, particularly a stuck position, (and the muscles are too tight or too stretched) then the brain will adopt this as a new normal. Even though it’s not really helping the body and may be causing pain, it follows the path of least resistance.
Now the body will start auto-balancing the world around you in a ‘misaligned’ state of normal.
When you have these curves in your spine from scoliosis and possibly rib humping, there is pressure and strain in areas of the spine that there should not be any. The muscles and ligaments get overly stretched on one side and get overly tight and cramped on the other. It’s a vicious cycle and if the curve is big enough, it can begin to ‘collapse’ on itself.
This is when surgery with rods is just about the only option. Luckily for you, scoliosis is commonly caught much sooner than that and preventable measures can be taken, like a brace, exercises and the System I learned in Germany.
It’s important to be evaluated by someone who not only sees the spine in an x-ray but can take care of the functional problems, AKA treat the problematic muscles and spine correctly and in the right areas.
Many low back pain sufferers and nearly 100% of scoliosis patients will have the appearance of a “short leg” or a “low pelvis.” You may have been told before that you do have a short leg and you need some shoe inserts (orthotics) to balance you out. Don’t you think if that was a true fix, you would have balanced out by now and the pain would be gone?
Truthfully, the short leg and low pelvis is a compensation pattern for specific muscles in the back, pelvis and legs that have gotten into this ‘too tight’ pattern and has changed the body’s view of normal.
If you have tried exercising and stretches consistently only to find you still hurt and have these findings, it probably feels shocking and hopeless. I have good news for you though.

The technique I learned in Germany for low back pain and scoliosis addresses these abnormal muscle patterns and when they get reset along with spinal adjustments, the legs and pelvis become even, pain goes away and the body resets to what is actually normal.
- r. Justin is certified in the corrective scoliosis exercise method, ScoliBalance, which combines the five most well-known scoliosis therapies with SOSORT guidelines and clinicians’ practical experience.
- ScoliBalance includes corrective motions called Over Correction or Mirror Image, specific exercises, and mild home traction to bring about 3D changes in the spine.
- This method helps both children and adults to achieve real postural and structural changes, with adults also experiencing a reduction in pain, improved mobility, and improved posture that can reduce the chance for falls.

This is how we see changes in scoliosis.
- We treat the problem areas that are too tight so they relax.
- We wake up the overly stretched area to regain it’s normal elasticity.
- We teach specific curve reducing postural exercises to get curve correction (reduce the curve)
- Then use the kinesiology tape in very unique patterns to functionally support these new correct changes.
Over a short course of treatment, we should see functional changes like your hips being more level, the curve when standing not being so prominent and of course pain relief.
Don’t hesitate, call us now to see if your scoliosis can be helped with this new Taping Technique and Scolibalance.
Scolibalance offers a comprehensive approach to scoliosis treatment that combines corrective motions, exercises and mild home traction to bring about 3D changes in the spines of both children and adults. With Scolibalance, you can finally get relief from your scoliosis and hunched over symptoms!
I am so excited to be able to offer this life changing system to the Lafayette and Acadiana area.
While there are many options for scoliosis treatment, they tend to focus on the spine itself and not the muscles around it. It also may affect your appearance and cause emotional pain, especially if you have a curve that is more severe or curves in different places up and down your spine. Bracing is a common approach and has been proven to be an effective treatment option for many patients with mild-to-moderate curves, but it’s not always the only choice.
ScoliBrace is the best option on the market. Its not trying to prevent the curve worsening. Instead, scolibraces put you in the opposite posture and hold you there in the brace. This gives over correction to the spine and is especially helpful for growing kids and hunched over seniors.
