Body awareness therapy for scoliosis in teenagers
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a type of exercise called body awareness therapy that helps you notice how your body moves and feels. It aims to improve your posture and spine movement, and may help reduce your scoliosis curve. It is for teenagers with scoliosis who have not yet had treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
