ABOUT
THE BOOK
- Contains
descriptions and photos
of more than 100
exercises from which the
therapist can
choose to
suit individual
patients.
- Discusses and
shows exercises for
Scheuermann's kyphosis,
flatback, hollow-back
syndrome, lumbar
kyphosis, and related
pathologies.
- Most
scolioses exhibit 3
abnormal curves, but the
author discovered cases
with 2, 4, 5, and even 6
curves. Her book
explains how to treat
these anomalies.
- Adult and
post-operative patients
will benefit, as well as
children and adolescents.
- The
easiest cases to treat
are mild ones in early
stages, yet even very
severe cases (>100
degrees) can achieve
some success.
