Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a la terał curvature of the spine, most commonly in the thoracic region, with an associated rotadon of the vertebral bodłeś. The condition can be functional or structural in cause. A unequal leg lengfh, and unequal muscle deve!opment are examples of a functional cause. Structural causes may result from a bony defect in the spine.

The scoliosis technique demonstrated should only be used as an example. The practitioner following theirevaluadon wili need to determine the location of the curvature and degree and direction of rotadon to the spine.

The Kinesio taping method will assist by either increasing or decreasing muscle tension, and create tension through the skin to facilitate an "unwinding" of the spinał rotadon.

Application of a mechanical correcdon technique to provide a sdmuli in which the body will adjust to increased tension in the skin, with tension on the tails. For review see mechan ical correcdon tech-nique.

For the anterior superior region begin by placing the base of the Kinesio Y strip, of approximately 6-8 inches, two inches below the area to be treated, with no tension. With one hand, hołd the base to ensure no tension is added.

Have the patient move into back extension with rotation in the opposite direction of desired correc-tion. Apply tension to the tails of the Kinesio Y strip, the "recoil" action of the tails will provide the stimulus to the skin.

Apply the tip of the taił with no tension. Prior to any further patient movement initiate glue activa-tion.

Application of a fascia correction technique to provide a deeper stimuli to reduce tension within the layers of the tissue, with tension on the base. For review see fascia correction techniąue.

Begin by placing the base of the Kinesio Y strip, of approximately 6-8 inches, two inches medially to the area to be treated, with no tension. With one hand, hołd the base to ensure no tension is added.
