SCOLIOSIS THERAPY at BODY GEARS: Scoliosis is a common spinal condition that involves asymmetrical muscle groups of the back and abnormal lateral curvature of the spine that affects over 3 million people in the U.S. per year. Some common stereotypes include, “the only way to fix this is surgery with rods in my back” or “I have to wear a brace for the rest of my life”. At Body Gears, we are redefining Scoliosis treatment by combining our Functional Manual Therapy® with the

Schroth Method. Functional Manual Therapy® (aka FMT) is an integrated system that conjoins evaluation and treatment, combining mobility treatment with neuromuscular facilitation to correctly use the right muscles at the right time for as long as needed.

“I absolutely love this place! Joanne and her staff have given me my life back. After back surgery and diastases, I had lower back pain for months. Joanne and her team don’t just treat the symptoms, they find out why your body is functioning that way and fix your whole system. Now not only do I have a stronger core and no back pain, but I have also learned the skills and tools to help keep myself in shape and pain-free for the rest of my life. I have been to other PT places with very little results. I had excellent positive results right away with Joanne and her team. Highly recommend everyone go here!!! During my visits, once the issue had been determined, Joanne worked on other small symptoms that my body had started doing to try and correct itself. Correcting all the little issues has made such a huge difference. My time with them has been life-changing and I feel like a whole new person without pain..” - Mandi S. (Body Gears Graduate!)

GIG (Get In Gear): What does it mean to prepare to exercise? Most people might answer warming up. Warming up literally increases the temperature of the body to increase blood flow to the muscles required for the activity you’re about to perform. What do you do if a muscle won’t even turn on or a joint is stiff? Check out ourpodcast to learnaboutGetting inGear toexerciseand how an individualized routine will help you to maximize
