What does scoliosis refer to?

  1. A straightening of the spine

  2. A lateral curvature of the spine

  3. A forward bending of the spine

  4. A stiffness of the spine

The correct answer is: A lateral curvature of the spine

Scoliosis refers specifically to a lateral curvature of the spine, where the spine may curve to the left or right, forming an "S" or "C" shape when viewed from the back. This condition can develop during childhood or adolescence and may lead to various health issues, including pain and functional limitations, if left untreated. Understanding scoliosis is crucial for massage therapists, as certain techniques may need to be adjusted to cater to the specific needs of clients with this condition. By recognizing the lateral curvature characteristic of scoliosis, practitioners can provide more effective care tailored to support spinal alignment and overall well-being.
