"I feel like it's getting a little better." ー Scoliosis

 

"I feel like it's getting a little better."

Hearing those words from a mother made me incredibly happy.

Recently, one of the mums told me:

"I feel like my child's scoliosis has improved a little."

To be honest, I felt exactly the same when I saw her child's posture after the SBM lesson.

Although it has only been one month since starting SBM, the standing posture has already begun to change.

SBM is not something you do just once.

It is about practising every day, consistently, and spending as much time as possible helping the body stay in a better balanced position.

Over time, the muscles that have become unbalanced because of scoliosis can gradually become more balanced and symmetrical.

A few days ago, I saw a post on social media from the mother of another 13-year-old child.

During a holiday trip, her child spent around five hours sitting in the same slouched position with the pelvis dropped. Afterwards, she noticed that her child's scoliosis had progressed. The difference was clearly visible in the photographs she shared.

Of course, this does not mean the same thing will happen to every child.

However, the years between 13 and 16 are an important period of growth. During this stage, bones and soft tissues are still developing, and posture and daily habits can have a significant influence on the body.

That is why this stage of growth can also be one of the best times to support positive changes.

Rather than waiting until the curve progresses further, it makes sense to start caring for the body while it is still growing and adapting.

The muscles on both sides of the back appear more balanced than before, and the head position is closer to the body's centre line.

Overall, the posture looks more symmetrical, and the body's balance has improved.

F has been doing an amazing job.

Every day, after finishing his homework and before going to bed, he completes his SBM exercises.

He is also using his SBM mouthpiece consistently.

Step by step, without rushing, we will continue to support his progress.

Childhood and adolescence are precious years for physical development.

That is why I am passionate about supporting children through SBM and helping them build a stronger, more balanced body as they grow.

If your child has been told they have mild scoliosis and that the recommendation is simply to "wait and monitor," I would be happy to talk with you.

During the summer holidays, we are offering parent-and-child consultations and trial sessions.

Let's make the most of this important stage of growth and explore what positive steps can be taken together.
