Our mission is: “to implement an effective system of scoliosis treatment to help  people worldwide through research and spinal rehabilitation.”
“If we knew what we were doing,  it wouldn’t be called research.” Albert Einstein
What if we treated environmental factors, and not just the curvature(s)?  Cobb angles are the most common method of describing an individual's scoliotic condition. However, Cobb angles are merely the end result of genetic and environmental factors interacting, so the curvature(s) are the symptomatic result of an underlying process, not the condition itself.Genetic predisposition  +  Environmental Factors  Scoliosis
Spinal curvature (Cobb angle) Genetic pre-disposition (Cap off tube) Environmental Factors (squeezing the tube)
