A member asked:
Does rolfing help in fixing scoliosis because i've heard many people who told said they have had there curves decreased is this true please explain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it does not: Rolfing or any other deep tissue massage, or by any other name, or by any other experienced person, does not FIX scoliosis... but can make a patient feel good. Deep tissue massage, when done well, can be good for most people, whether or not they have scoliosis, but does cost some money. It's an expenditure for a relaxing personal service.
