The main aspect to understand when speaking of scoliosis massage is if the massage is being used to treat the scoliosis, or to improve the symptoms of scoliosis, such as pain, muscle tightness, lack of range of motion, and others.

Dr. Tony Nalda explains that scoliosis massage is a tool to help relieve pain. In adult patients with scoliosis, a massage can help by reducing stiffness and muscle tightness. It can also help by increasing mobility and inducing relaxation, especially for patients who have lifetime stress due to their scoliosis. But overall, a massage will not reduce the scoliotic curve. It will only temporarily help to manage the symptoms.

The main functionality of scoliosis massage is pain management, and if done with that purpose, it will help. However, scoliosis is a structural problem of the spine, and while a massage helps the treatment, it will not fix the scoliotic curve.

Patients are concerned with massage causing harm to their scoliosis, but in fact, a massage will not cause enough force to be harmful in most cases. Dr. Nalda advises finding a specialist who knows how to take care of a scoliosis patient because the goal of any treatment will not be to get muscles to be symmetrical. Due to their scoliosis, the muscles will continue to tighten; the goal is to decrease the scoliotic curve.

Trying to reduce a scoliotic curve with massage alone will not provide patients with the desired outcome. Only someone specialized in treating the scoliotic curve and structural issues of the spine will manage to achieve the reduction needed by the patient.
