Why do people have scoliosis?

Scoliosis can be both functional or heredity. Hereditary scoliosis has to do with abnormal bone development such as leg length differiation, while; medical scoliosis has to do with diseases of muscular system like polio. Both types of scoliosis create discomfort due to the misalignment of the spine.

Movements Afoot is sponsoring unique workshops throughout the month of July about scoliosis for clients and teachers with scoliosis problems.

These workshops will provide you with a better understanding of spinal mechanics, which can help deepen your practice and help you and your clients facilitate greater ease, strength and range of motion of the entire body.

These events are listed below and for more information,
please call (212) 904-1399 or visits our website: www.movementsafoot.com.
