Massage and Scoliosis

[ch4rli3]

At the age of 18, I was diagnosed with having scoliosis, I am now 23.

It was not bad enough to operate and you wouldn't know I had it to look at. However, I have recently gone back to work after having a baby and I am in absoulte agony with my back!!!!!!:cry:

It's aching so much that I don't know what to do with myself. I try and keep a good posture when I'm working but I do carry out an awful lot of massage when I'm at work as well as waxing and facials and find that throughout the treatments I am in so much pain, it's all I can think about and makes me end up not enjoying the treatments I am carrying out!

I've been putting hot water bottles on my back and sleeping with it under my back and hot baths etc but nothing is easing the pain.

Does anyone else have scoliosis or has anyone got any advice to help me with the pain???

Hi there,

I have scoliosis, my back does get sore. I found going to a chiropractor helped so much and now i don't suffer! After having a baby it takes a while for your body to get back to what it was. Muscles are soft etc, it may go away in time. get yourself to a chiropractor it was money well spent!

That sounds like it may be worth a try!

Have just come in from work and am in so much pain!!!

Thanks for your help x

I too vouch for seeing a Chiropractor. I had shoulder and arm pain for 80% of the time, but now only have it occasionally. Are you also working at a good height as this makes a huge difference.
Hope you feel better soon. x

Hi Brandywine

Yes we have electric couches where I work so I have been adjusting them accordingly so they are at a comfortable height for me, but still mid way through treatment, my back kills!!

Had to do a Pedicure today using one of those silly floor stools with the added foot piece, we do NOT get on and my back is so sore from bending over whilst using it!!
