Is Gravity Stretching good for children and teens with scoliosis?
Answered by the founder of the method
Parents ask about children and teens often, especially when scoliosis or uneven posture is involved.
Why this works well for a growing body
The method works with full-body decompression, no impact at all, and teenage girls in particular are often tense from years of 'sit up straight' - here they loosen up and straighten out simply because no one is forcing them.
How to start with a child
For a child, we always suggest starting with a private one-on-one class, so the trainer's attention is only on them and the pace stays gentle. Tell the trainer everything you know about your child's back beforehand, and discuss the exact program in person, together with their own specialist if the case is more involved.
