Scoliosis Physiotherapy in Etobicoke

What is scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a curve of the spine that bends to the side, often with some rotation. It is found in children and teens, where the cause is often unknown, and in adults, where it can develop with age-related changes in the spine. Many people have mild curves that cause no symptoms. Management can vary from person to person and based on severity.
