Do you know the real benefits of Semi-Hanging for Scoliosis? ✨🧘♂️
1️⃣ Spinal Elongation (Axial Distractive Forces)
Gentle gravity-assisted traction that lengthens the spine without aggressive pull.
• Opens concavities
• Reduces collapsed segments
• Creates space for segmental derotation
Builds the foundation before 3D corrective breathing.
2️⃣ Decompression of Compressed Segments & Rib Spaces
Semi-hanging helps rigid concavities by:
• Unloading facet joints
• Reducing intra-discal pressure
• Improving rib + intercostal spacing
Prepares the spine for better active correction.
3️⃣ Improved Corrective Breathing (3D RAB) 🌬️
Elongation + decompression = better rib mobility.
• Stronger lateral rib expansion
• Reduced paradoxical movement
• Better awareness of breathing into the weak side
Boosts the effectiveness of Schroth principles.
4️⃣ Neuromuscular Re-education & Postural Awareness
Activates stabilizers without compression. Helps patients identify:
• Where the curve collapses
• How to “grow tall”
• Rib–pelvis spacing cues
Makes it easier to carry corrections into daily life.
5️⃣ Pain Modulation Through Traction & Circulation 💆♂️
Semi-hanging eases pain from compression + muscle imbalance.
• Decompresses joints
• Reduces trigger points
• Improves blood flow
• Triggers endorphin release
Remember… Semi hanging is a simple, underrated, and clinically powerful & your scoliosis routine needs this!
