ScoliBalance® Exercises for Scoliosis Patients in Barrhaven
Living with scoliosis can affect how you stand, move and feel during everyday activities. ScoliBalance® is a scoliosis-specific exercise program designed around your individual curve, posture and needs. Barrhaven Family Chiropractic is pleased to now offer this individualized approach as part of our scoliosis services.
Exercises Designed Around Your Curve
ScoliBalance is a physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise (PSSE) program that draws on established approaches to scoliosis rehabilitation. Rather than giving everyone the same exercises, the program is tailored to your curve type, postural characteristics and individual goals.
Who May Benefit From ScoliBalance?
ScoliBalance may be used with children, teens and adults living with scoliosis. It can be considered for people with smaller curves that are being monitored, those managing scoliosis alongside bracing, and adults experiencing concerns such as back pain or changes in posture.
Depending on your individual needs, exercises may focus on areas such as muscular balance, spinal flexibility, posture and standing stability.
What to Expect From Your Program
Your program begins with an assessment of your scoliosis, curve type, flexibility and postural patterns. From there, your exercises are selected and adapted specifically for you.
During your 30-45 minute sessions, you’ll be guided through your ScoliCorrection and learn how to perform your ScoliExercises correctly. You’ll also receive exercises to practise at home between appointments. As you become more familiar with the techniques, you may also learn ways to incorporate your postural correction into everyday activities.
Our Chiropractors Are ScoliBalance® Certified
Dr Majida Mankal and Dr Kahlid Mankal have successfully completed ScoliBalance Basic (Level 1) certification through ScoliCare®. Their training was delivered as a blended course, with eight hours of online coursework followed by 18 hours of face-to-face training.
With this additional training, our practice can now offer individualized ScoliBalance exercise programs as part of its scoliosis services. Each program is tailored to the patient’s curve type, posture and individual goals.
