Hm, but what if you have a good postural control but simply your muscles are weak, your nutrition is not optimal and your father has the exact same curvature as yours?
I mean, I have scoliosis and I know my scoliosis very well. I've always been good at sports and have had good coordination and reactions and so on. Better than that of many other girls that do not have scoliosis.
I have a strong feeling that most cases of scoliosis are due to bad nutrition and weak muscles. And bad epigenetic patterns from parents.
I just don't get it how some brain impulses can stop a spine from curving when there are some factors that are almost a verdict to have a spinal curvature.
When you are thin, have weak thin bones, one of your parents has spinal curvature and your nutrition is far from optimal, you just feel that your body is different and weaker from others'.
Plus, dr. Weston Price found no cases of scoliosis in tribes that were well fed with natural nutritious foods.
Would you please comment on that.
