Remedial Massage Therapy for Scoliosis

The Scoliosis Collective now offers Remedial Massage Therapy (RMT) and other manual therapy delivered by a Myotherapist for our clients who have scoliosis or other spinal conditions. As people with scoliosis often experience fascial restrictions, muscular tension, and stiff joints, manual treatment from an RMT/Myotherapist can decrease fascial resistance, to assist clients to achieve their postural corrections with less effort. 

Our Myotherapists collaborate with our Schroth-certified Physiotherapists to provide curve-specific massage treatments. Each client’s X-Ray images and clinical notes from the Physiotherapist are taken into account when planning the massage sessions to address any muscular imbalances in the trunk, shoulders, pelvis, or beyond.

At the end of each massage session, clients complete Schroth exercises, core activations, or other strengthening exercises to set the musculature in their newfound lengths.

Please contact us for more information or to book a treatment.

Before your appointment

If you have X-Ray images, be sure to let us know as this will help your Physiotherapist design your treatment plan.

If you or your child already have a brace, physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE) are recommended to maintain postural muscle strength, and to retain as much correction as possible when brace wear ends.

A referral to a spine surgeon and/or bracing can be discussed at the initial assessment.

Please bring:

  • X-ray images either digitally or on disc if available
    (we can request them directly from the imaging facility; more info upon booking your initial appointment)
  • Any relevant reports
  • Sports bra / tank top, shorts or leggings

Please note: Payments can be made by VISA, MasterCard, debit, cash, or cheque. We cannot accept AMEX at this time.
