Yoga and Scoliosis: A Journey to Health and Healing'' is intended
to be a source of encouragement, knowledge, and healing for those
who have scoliosis and need to treat it, but want to avoid braces
and/or surgery. The book looks at scoliosis not as a pathological
syndrome but as a spiritual, and metaphysical pattern that embraces
the multiple dimensions of the spine (vertical, horizontal, and
sagittal). It briefly covers the history and treatment modalities
of scoliosis and discusses the development of the spine in the
embryo. ''Yoga and Scoliosis'' also explores the complexities of
the concept of alignment in the body, with the main part of the
book showing how to address scoliosis with Iyengar yoga. Four
chapters give instruction in yoga asanas for scoliosis, and another
chapter discusses yoga practice in daily living. Finally there is
an advanced yoga chapter that was developed by B. K. S. Inyengar.
"Yoga and Scoliosis: A Journey to Health and Healing" is a deeply
soothing form of moving meditation and a physical activity and is a
safe way to rebuild strength, stamina, and flexibility and to
address the spinal curvature of scoliosis without surgery. The book
presents an evidence-based look at how this approach works. Dr.
Fishman has been treating individuals with scoliosis with yoga for
many years and has collected x-rays of his work, before and after,
demonstrating actual lessening of the degree of curvature from the
practice of Iyengar yoga.
