My daughter Einav,13 1/2 yrs old was
diagnosed with Idiopathic Scoliosis in
January 2003 (19 degrees in Lumbar spine)
and a reccomendation for Physiotherapy
excersises.We started doing some Feldenkrais
lessons at home(I am a Feldenkrais
Practitioner)but not intensive and daily
work -as we should have !!! In September
2003 we started 'Schroth' Therapy (Named
after 'Katarina Schroth'-Germany)with a
wonderful Physiotherapist who also asked
for another x-ray. This time the curve(s)
were 33 degrees(lumbar)and 15 degrees
(compensating thoracic curve...)The
orthpedic doctor said "Scoliosis is a
disease, we are dealing with its results
because we do not know what causes it to
develop" and he 'sentenced' a brace for 23
hrs. a day...! We were shocked...but did not
accept his "verdict" and started a worldwide
search for information on alternative
treatments. This wonderful site helped us a
lot in building our confidence that we can
help Einav and most importantly - Einav can
help herself! We consulted with leading
Practitioners and doctors of various methods
including -Feldenkrais,Rolfing,Body
Logic,Bio-Resonnance Therapy, Dr. Manuel
Rigo from Barcellona, Spain who is a
Specialist for the 'Schroth' Therapy . In my
web search I found information about research
done on the causes for scoliosis - one
assumption is that a bacteria or a virus or
abnormal hormonal activity cause the
misalignment of the spine. Since I firmly
believe in dealing with the internal causes
of any medical condition I knew that the
Bicom Therapy would support the exercise
program. At this stage Einav was working
intensively - one hour of practice every day
with the guidance of the Physiotherapist.She
was treated once a week with the Bicom for
the Polio Virus - found to be present in her
body since the vaccinations of the first
year- infected her central nervous system ,
and we added the Raindrop Therapy- a once a
week massage with the special oils done by
my husband and myself. We added some food
supplements such as Royal Gel as well.
We are now 6 months later- The results of
the latest X-ray show that the spine is much
different - We have reduced the Lumbar curve
by 11 degrees... !
Einav's spine is responding well and we are
encouraged to continue working - The
Orthopedic doctor who saw the results said
we do not need the brace...We have to come
back for another check in 6 months time...
