Anyone regardless of their age or physical conditions CAN improve! You just have to learn how to re-train your movement, and that is what I share on my channel. I teach Feldenkrais based movement and how to apply it to daily activities
Movement is vital to your health. Improving your movement therefore means improving your health and life. 3 key things are: 1) Daily movement practice to improve movement quality (MOVE WELL) 2) Incorporate good movement into daily activities (MOVE WELL AND MORE) 3) Awareness and mindfulness of your movement and lifestyle (MINDFUL MOVEMENT)

I used to have scoliosis, a case so wrong that it forbid me from having epidural anesthesia during labour.
But I got better by articulating the vertebrae rolling while sitted in the ground. It took me just a month. I kept my back in place (not going back to scoliosis) by doing squats with weight (just a third of my total body weight). It's been 8 years, and not a single back pain ever since.
Been doing this for 3 days and man!!! My pelvic floor was opening before but this literally made me feel like I grabbed my entire pelvis, widened it and moved it forward 😂 serendipity everytime with these lessons sensei!
I had x-rays in January and my lower spine is shaped like an S. I had severe sciatica pain for weeks followed by abdominal pain, aching, and digestion problems. I'm thankful I found your channel and going to start this method to improve mobility.
Did ur condition improve at all?
G-d BLESS U, Mr. Iwamoto! Your videos are a G-DSEND! I've had scoliosis since childhood, but when I was a professional dancer, & teacher, it was less pronounced. At 64, having become WAY too sedentary, (& having my neck & back somewhat compromised from a car accident years ago) it has lately gotten worse. I can already tell that your techniques are the answer I was praying for! Thank u, thank u, THANK U! ❤👏👏👏
IMHO a movement expert is better than a doctor any day of the week. They just want to prescribe pills, better to correctly move and stay moving for lifelong pain management. I’ll add these. Thanks.
I’m doing this with a fused spine. It’s helping me with my body awareness
Just learned that I have mild scoliosis what I thought was a herniated disc. Looking forward to watch your videos on this topic
I love this exercise!
Thank you so much.
I did it right away before work today and it works wonders.
Great!
@Nicholas TV Hi!
Thank you for this video and blessings to every one here!
You are so welcome
Thank you so much! I think this will be a great addition to my routine and help with the pain!
you're welcome!
Thank you for this alternative, Taro. I like the sitting version, but I find the towel puts too much pressure on my sit bones. I haven't found anything at home that I can use that's softer, but still effective.
maybe soft blanket?
So helpful, thanks Taro!
I have 3 Questions:
Do we need to keep our hips facing foreward or allow them to rotate as we move the chest & shoulders?
Should we contract our lower ab muscles in order to stabilize the spine as we move?
Do we move with the breath, exhaling one way and inhaling the other?
I've had 12 abdominal surgeries that have severely damaged and weakened my entire core. This has exacerbated my back, pelvic & leg pain and dysfunction caused by my previously existing lower spinal curvature.
I'm sure I'm nit to onky person who has had to to learn how to "tune out" from one's body in order to cope with pain; I need help regaining body awareness to avoid injury, so knowing which direction feet, knees, pelvis, chest, shoulders and head should face is very important to know.
I enjoy your videos and your quiet, gentle presentation style, Taro. Thank you.💯💫
You can allow your hips to rotate as you sidebend your torso.
i would focus on distributing sidebending evenly throughout the whole spine and ribs so muscle effort will be distributed evenly.
I personally do find breathing out while sidebending my torso more natural, but you can experiment and find which way of breathing supports your movement better. Hope this helps:)
Excellent Love the series.
nice to hear that!
I free form bow staff and you corrected 5 malefic twists and a half weird chamber plus gave me my wrist speed back.
If there is another level past this life you get all my passes. I'll start over. You earned it.
💚🙆👽
Great explanations. Thanks!
My pleasure!
really enjoy your lessons!thank u
My pleasure!
Thanks Taro! This is a nice gentle exercise and I can notice a difference on shoulder height afterwards :-) Would you suggest to repeat again on the side with the lower shoulder or is doing on one side each enough? So one could start on the side with the lower shoulder and end on that side too?
I would do on both sides regardless of your bias for the purpose of informing the nervous system
Is this "Swiffer" exercise for lower spine..my right hip is higher? Thanks so much..your posture and feet sessions are wonderful!!
Thank you for your knowledge. Can you recommend exercises for retrolisthesis/kyphoscoliosis-L1 on L2, L2 on L3, L3 on L4, L4 on L5 and degenerative disc L11? Thanks again.
Correction-Should be T11, not L11.
Great video, thanks!
you are welcome!
This session fun n easy
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I like it. I go buy the stick at Dollar tree and go home do this exercise. Thanks.
Nice!
Hi Taro
I was born with scolosis. I have a C shape lumber scolosis. I actually did nothing about it as l did not suffer with any pain or discomfort. However now at the age of 62 l started getting tremendous pain. The doctors advised physiotherapy but nothing helped. They now advice me to undergo fusion surgery 😢 which l want to avoid by all means.
Will flendenkrais help to reduce my pain overtime
so i can avoid surgery.
thanks. Subscribed
you're welcome:) Enjoy the process of connecting with your body, sensing your body and movement from the inside, and learning about your body!
Gracias, Taro.✌️
The muscles on my right rear deltoid/shoulder blade get a proper workout when I do these movements. Wonder why.
hi Taro, do you have any recommendations for Back/Neck pain caused by sacroilliac joint disfunction? i've been in pain for 4 years and no youtube videos or chiropractors i've tried have been able to help :(
I recommend my posture playlist as well as improve pelvic alignment playlist
@feldenkras with Taro Iwamoto my lower back wants to arch when I shift my weight to one leg. Should this be happening? I did not hear you address this, perhaps you did but I missed it. In fact, I notice my lower back protrudes back (arches) on most of the scoliosis exercises. I don’t know if I should endeavor to stop this.
a great question! First, you're observing and noticing your movement pattern and difference between two sides. When you shift your weight to one leg, you tend to move into anterior pelvic tilt and sidebending pattern. One thing I did not mention in the video is that you can slightly change pathway (slightly more forward, or backward as you shift weight), and you'll notice slight change will change movement of pelvis and spine slightly. It's good to explore several different pathways to teach your nervous system and body new movement patterns so you won't get stuck in the same habitual pattern all the time.
Can you do this exercise in a pool
Sure:)
Hi Taro,
I like your teachings in Feldenkrais. It helps me.
I have a question: as we get older, arthritis causes the bone to degenerate, the vertebra squeeze , press and demolish the cushions, pinch the nerves etc...
How can Feldenkrais fix those problems? Can it stop arthritis, rebuild cartilage, restore bone etc...so that we do not have pain anymore? I have numbness in leg and toes. Xray shows arthritis. Can I be healed? Of course diet plays important role also.
How can Feldenkrais heal when the cartilage and the vertebra demolish?
Thank you.
Thanks! Feldenkrais is not about fixing or correcting. With its movement principles, you can improve quality of movement and improve functions. Improving movement quality will not reverse joint, tissue degeneration that has taken place already, however, it can definitely slow down the process. Here's analogy. If you walk habitually with more weight on outer feet, outer soles of your feet wear out faster than inner soles. Same thing happens to all joints and tissues. Unless you reorganize your movement patterns, you keep stressing the same parts of your body. Whether people have a joint replacement surgery or not, movement retraining is very helpful and essential. Even after a surgery, your movement patterns usually remain the same, so you will continue to stress the surgical part the same way.
@@TaroIwamoto thank you.
@@ThuLe-eh1xe does that help?
@@TaroIwamoto well, I will change to a healthier diet and keep practicing feldenkrais. As long as I feel better, that is hope. Thank you.
Hi there, Shiatsu is very good for helping to heal Arthritis....as is balancing pH of the blood through diet. These with your gentle Feldenkrais practice ought to really help.
My shoulder is not higher my left hip is higher , I have Lumbar scoliosis , convexity on left side.
retraining nervous system and movement patterns would still be helpful, I believe.
Just tried it out, the difference between my left leg and right leg is pretty bad. With my right leg it goes really smooth but with my left leg the motion is small and not nearly as smooth.
How many scoliosis videos are you going to make?
I would not phrase that difference between two legs was bad. We should always assume two sides are different without judging good side and bad side. We can improve quality of movement regardless. I only have 3 scoliosis videos so far, and no plan for making another one as of now. But to be honest, most of my movement videos focus on coordinating the whole body and they all address scoliosis.
My golf instructor suggested if you are right handed, to perform the golf swing left handed the same number of swings as the right side.
I guess this is why he suggested it.
very likely
❤️
does this work for "heavy" scoliosis?
this is a great movement retraining regardless.
@@TaroIwamoto so it does not actually cure scoliosis?
@@OLDx666 nthing cures it this is the best ur gonna get, be gratful :)
Is it even possible to fix scoliosis?
we all have functional scoliosis to varying degree due to habitual movement biases. We can definitely improve movement and reduce scoliosis and improve functions
@@TaroIwamoto so what about non functional scoliosis?
Would you care to share some authentic (!!!!) stories with before and after photos and x-rays of "patients" of yours that managed to "fix" their scoliosis following your guidance? Otherwise this is just some influencer BS to get clicks =).
This is how people fill sand in trucks
hopefully people switch sides from time to time:)
