Approaches to ease scoliosis
Average rating:
'Mild to moderate scoliosis usually responds to body work therapies such as Pilates, Alexander Technique, yoga and intensive osteopathy, chiropractic or physiotherapy. Nutritional approaches to support optimum growth and improve bone density are also important. An A-Z type vitamin formula that includes vitamins B, C, D and minerals boron, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc is worth taking, as are essential fatty acids, eg in evening primrose oil, that help to improve calcium deposition in bones.'
