M.Tam Massage Therapy & Structural Inegration

Background

This individual has been diagnosed with structural scoliosis (from birth, not developed via various activities or chronic postures, thus, can only be minimized and never fully removed).

BEFORE

An asymmetrical lateral mid-back skin fold is present on the right side between the ribcage and pelvis, with the neck shifted more to the left, and the left hand hanging lower than the right.

AFTER

Most dramatically the skin folds just under the ribcage on the right side have lessened as the rotation and shift has been decreased. The neck is more evenly divided on either side of the gravity line. Hands hang at an even height from the ground.

To be consistent, the line on the photos on the side is drawn up cutting the middle of the sacrum and coccyx (through the centre of the tailbone). We will always be describing observations from the client’s left and right, not which side they appear on the photo.

Note 2: These photos are a snapshot in time. It is difficult to show a 3D object, in a 2D photo. You will be unable to see the new movement possibilities of the models, hear how they felt differently, or how where they are feeling the change in their body if at all. Many thanks to the models shown for graciously allowing us to view and utilize their before and after photos.
