Scoliosis is a condition involving an abnormal curvature of the spine. Scoliosis is a triplanar (3D) condition. It can be caused by congenital, developmental or degenerative problems, but most cases of scoliosis actually have no known cause. This is called idiopathic scoliosis.

Idiopathic scoliosis cannot be prevented and it is not caused by poor posture. However, poor posture and weakness increase the risk of scoliosis progression which may require bracing and in some instances surgery. There is no actual cure but with a good understanding of precautions, exercises and posture people can lead a normal life with no complications from the scoliosis.

The asymmetric growth of the spine causes muscular and soft tissue imbalances. Muscles on the concave side are shortened and get stimulated by stretching with activity, creating more compression and torsion on the spine and facilitating curveprogression. Muscles on the Convex side are elongated and fibrotic therefor inefficient and unable to counteract the hyperactive muscles on the concave side. This muscular imbalance is activated with all activities of daily living and will facilitate the curve to progress if these muscular imbalances are not managed. Even if the muscular activity is facilitated correctly, there are connective tissue and fascial restrictions that need to be addressed with manual therapy and postural reeducation.

We LOVE treating scoliosis at Ahimsa!

Abdominal pain, bloating, reflux, dizziness, early satiety… and no clear answers?

For people with HSD/EDS, these symptoms are often mechanical, not mysterious.
🎓 New MedBridge Class: Abdominal Compression Syndromes in HSD/EDS

This course breaks down:
• What abdominal compression syndromes actually are
• Why they’re more common in hypermobility & EDS
• Key signs clinicians often miss
• Practical assessment + treatment considerations
If you work with hypermobile patients—or live in a body that’s been dismissed one too many times—this one matters.

👉 Check out the full class on and deepen your understanding of the gut-connective tissue connection.
