Sciatic scoliosis

[physiobob]

I think we are singing off the same song sheet here.

However I was intrigued by one of your earlier observations in this thread that the body sometimes shifts away from the problem. One of my mentors many years ago used to say that "the body hugs the lesion" meaning that you could home in on the primary problem by following the tension pattern that developed susequent to an unresolved trauma. Have you found the opposite pattern to occur more than rarely?

Now this is a pandora's box if ever there was one but lets get onto it over this coming week. Right now it's sunday evening and I am just back from PT'g all day to a bunch of classical ballet dancers and need my homemade hamburgers! To start of a line of thought, some say it depends on the lumbar level of the lesion as to whether you move towards or away from the lesion. I'll look up some old notes I have to see what various MET, Butler, Mulligans people have said to me over the years.

More soon.........
