(For fixing bad posture, neck pain etc)

I would see a chiropractor, if you have already seen your doctor and it didn’t help relieve the pain.

Im planning on going to the Myofascial Release Treatment Center in Sedona,Arizona. I would Greatly appreciate it if anyone who has had gone/known someone who went to one of the treatment centers, would give some insight [mostly HOW DOES IT WORK?]

By the way, Im going for treatment for Scoliosis.

I’m checking with someone I trust…I’ll edit this when I get an answer.

Myofascial release- This hands on technique seeks to free the body from the grip of tight fascia, or connective tissue, thus restoring normal alignment and function; reducing pain. Using their hands, practitioners apply mild, sustained pressure to gently stretch and soften the fascia.

Neuromuscular therapy or St. John or NMT- This modality emphasizes the role of the brain, spine, and nerves in muscular pain. One goal of this therapy is to relieve tender congested spots in muscle tissue and compressed nerves that may radiate pain to other areas of the body. Some similarity to trigger point therapy.
