The doctors recommend Scoliosis Yoga and Paideia Yoga as a sumplemental activity. The director, Dorothy E. Hiestand, has 23 years experience with yoga for her own scoliosis. Dorothy teaches two different yoga classes at Advanced Spinal Rehab Center --
1) The Essential Low Back Program, a 6-week program for chronic low back pain. This program instructs on gentle yoga exercises to alleviate pain and gradually strengthen the back muscles so they will not be painful in the future.
2) Scoliosis Yoga, an ongoing class for improving scoliosis and kyphosis curves in people with those conditions. The focus here is to increase the student's awareness of his or her own body, and teaches rotational breathing and specialized poses for scoliosis that can be practiced daily, helping the student to restore normal back curves.
These yoga classes are a perfect complement to chiropractic! Relieve pain and restore health!
