A member asked:

I was diagnosed w/ mild scoliosis,referred for physiotherapy,what exactly can i expect a physio to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It will do nothing : for mild scoliosis but learning exercises for your back and then doing them routinely along with weight control and not smoking can help minimize future issues in terms of back pain.

Dr Ihle and another doctor agreed

Hi team. My 69 mom broke her foot about 8 weeks ago. She started physiotherapy this week and the Physio instructed her to get the ,"moonboot" for support. Do I get the full boot or the short boot (as her foot was broken not the leg). Please advise?
