WORKING WITH SCOLIOSIS
(GOKHALE METHOD TEACHER CYNTHIA ROSE'S BACK STORY)
By: Cynthia Rose
When I was 12 years old my mother took me to our family doctor for a check up. I remember him looking at me and saying "One of your shoulders slopes down more than the other. Isn’t that interesting!" What’s interesting to me is that the word scoliosis never came up in the conversation and that there wasn’t any further investigation of my sloping shoulder. As a 12-year old I had never heard of scoliosis, so I thought my sloping shoulder was just an oddity I would live with...
...The Gokhale Method teaches how to elongate the spine in both passive positions (such as sitting or lying) and in active techniques like using the inner corset. This elongation changes the shape of the scoliotic curves in the spine and puts a positive stressor on the bones and muscles allowing them to change in a positive way. For me, this quickly translated to less pain and, over time, I can feel the changes in the muscles on either side of my spine. The pictures below show my back without and then with my inner corset engaged.

She wondered, could there be a optimal way to walk to alleviate back and knee pain? Read more here.
