Meredith Stephens – AT Masterclass: Understanding and Working with Scoliosis

Understanding and Working with Scoliosis is part of the AT Masterclass.

NCBTMB has 2.5 CEs and 2.5 CECs.

We will discuss the three-dimensional nature of Scoliosis in this webinars. There will be special attention given to the two types of scoliosis. A three-dimensional treatment approach will be discussed to create a stronger, more lengthened, and neutral alignment.

We will discuss.

• Why traditional stretch and strengthening exercises may be detrimental to people with scoliosis.
• The concept of tensegrity as it applies to scoliosis treatment.
• How isometric contractions, ground reaction force, breathing, and postural reflexes may be applied to treatment strategies.
• The application of myofascial techniques and touch cueing to enhance alignment.
• When to treat and when to refer.

…and more.

Case studies will show how the principles can be applied to create individualized exercise and therapy programs that help clients relax, reduce their pain, and manage their Scoliosis.
