Didn't get it - schroth method

Turns out didn't quite get it.   

At my appointment yesterday, I whipped off my shirt in excitement to show Gail my breakthrough. 

But, it wasn't correct :(:(:(.  

Back to the drawing board. (Although she said it was closer)

She pulled out a breathing belt or help me figure out which areas to breath into

This seemed to help a lot.  We made a video of the breathing with my iphone. I am determined t figure this out.   (Oh... And by the way .... Insurance refuses to cover more visits.....we are appealing)

Mental health appointment

My next appointment with Gail (after meeting with surgeon)

I told her that the whole appointment should just be a mental health visit.  She was great.  She said she works with people with 90 degree curves that have never had surgery

She reminded me of why I chose to go with schroth.  Reduce pain and HOLD curve

We talked about the lack of studies, the lack of treatments, and the lack of knowledge in USA in regard to scoliosis

I am still in shock that not much has changed since the seventies treatments. In fact I feel that it has gone slightly backwards. Back in the seventies I was given excercises to do when I was out of the brace. I remember hanging from a bar in my bedroom, and doing assymetrical excercises with cans of food.   With my daughter no excercises were give.   They were done away with (wrongfully so in my opinion)

Gail had just returned from a schroth training over the weekend. There were patients in all age brackets 20's, 30's, 40's and up

One girl in her 30's with a 47 & 47 degree curve was told by her doctor that she may not be able to have kids!!!  Everyone in the room assured her that wasn't true and it brought tears to her eyes!

I left with new hope and resolve

Energy healing and scoliosis

I went to an energy healer!! - Joanne

She was amazing. 

Although I can't explain it, and definitely can't explain to my husband, it felt great.

She focused on my back and moved a lot of stuck energy around it.

Joanne is tall like me and she told me the most amazing thing. She had minor scoliosis and 

was actually able to correct her curve.  Her chiropractor was amazed by the X-ray

She gave me a great visualization that I would like share.

She told me to picture a skeleton (like you would see in a medical school) hanging there with the straight spine. Then visualize myself walking through the skeleton and takin on that straight spine.

She said you can move bones. Just believe!
