Scoliosis - promoting movement, finding posture
What physiotherapy and occupational therapy can do for spinal curvature
Scoliosis - a lateral curvature and twisting of the spine - does not only affect children and adolescents. It can also cause complaints such as back pain, muscular imbalances or breathing problems in adulthood. The good news is that in many cases, scoliosis can be effectively treated with targeted exercise therapy, functional strengthening and occupational therapy that is close to everyday life - without the need for a corset or surgery.
Pain and sleep disorders
How physiotherapy and occupational therapy can help break the vicious circle
Pain and sleep problems often occur hand in hand - and reinforce each other in an unfavorable way. Chronic pain leads to disturbed sleep at night, while restless or too short sleep in turn increases the perception of pain and makes physical regeneration more difficult. The result is a persistent vicious circle of exhaustion, pain and nervous system overload.
But the good news is that this cycle can be broken. A holistic therapeutic approach involving physiotherapy and occupational therapy can improve sleep quality, reduce pain and calm the nervous system.
