​​WHY?
Many adults have never had a meaningful conversation about their scoliosis.
They don't understand what it is and what they can do for self-care,
so they are often fearful and worried.
Basic education and simple tips can make a big difference!
Common Questions to be Discussed:
What is scoliosis, and why do I have it?
Why is my back shaped this way?
​What are the current concepts of exercise and care for scoliosis?
Is it safe to exercise?
If so, how do I do so without making things worse?
How should I sit and what are good sleep positions?
What are reasonable goals for an adult with scoliosis?
( stabilizing the curve/curves, managing pain, improving daily habits to minimize stress on spine - just a few examples )
Purpose:
This workshop is for adults who would like to know more about their scoliosis
Learn what scoliosis is and the different types that occur.
Learn to maintain good back health with scoliosis.
I'll keep the class size small so we can have Q and A and discussions as we go!

Description:
Scoliosis is a complex and often misunderstood condition—and many massage therapists receive little guidance on how to work with clients who have it. This practical and educational workshop will provide massage therapists with a strong foundation in scoliosis awareness, safe positioning strategies, and bodywork techniques that relieve discomfort and support better function. You’ll learn how to recognize common curve patterns, avoid unhelpful pressure or strain, and adjust your hands-on work to meet each client’s unique structure. This class blends clinical insight with real-world application—grounded in physical therapy, scoliosis-specific training, and therapeutic movement.

You will learn:
✔ What scoliosis is and how it affects the body
✔ Curve types and related muscular imbalances
✔ Safe, effective positioning on the table
✔ Techniques for common areas of pain and tension
✔ What to avoid and how to help clients feel supported
✔ How to collaborate with physical therapists or other care providers Whether scoliosis is new to you or you're looking to deepen your understanding, this workshop will give you the tools to feel more confident and capable when working with this population.

Ideal for:
Licensed massage therapists and bodyworkers looking to build confidence and competence when working with clients who have scoliosis.

🌀 Class size will be limited to allow for questions and discussion.

🧠 No prior experience with scoliosis needed.

Hi Everyone,
I now have available private sessions and semi private sessions for those of you seeking help for Osteoporosis/osteopenia as well as Scoliosis.

Once you've completed at least two private sessions with me, you are eligible to join a semi private appointment.
Any available appointment time in the online booking can be used for a semi private, you just need to contact me to schedule it.

For all other issues and conditions, continue to schedule as normal, either an initial evaluation or a follow up!

BONE HEALTH

I haven't spoken much about bone health, but there is more and more research on the importance of loading the bones in a safe manner to keep them strong, as well as to build bone strength.
Everything I'll be teaching will be based on current research.

Don't worry if you've never lifted weights, we will start with form and technique,
and only give you small weights when you are ready and then progress from there!

As always, please reach out at anytime if I can assist you.

Take good care,
Dina

I'm seeing clients at my new clinic starting tomorrow! Still setting things up and it will take me a few weeks at least to get all the details in place. Here's a picture of one wall without letting you see the mess behind me 😁 I'll be offering small group classes for a variety of different issues - in addition to one on one sessions. New beginnings!
