It’s crucial to emphasize that spinal weighting is not about applying external force to push the body into a desired position. Instead, it utilizes the body’s innate responsiveness to the added weights, encouraging it to find its way back to a more aligned state. This subtlety in approach distinguishes spinal weighting from conventional methods and contributes to its effectiveness in addressing spinal issues. Scoliosis, characterized by abnormal curvature of the spine, poses unique challenges in treatment. While various approaches exist, body weighting has emerged as a particularly effective component of a comprehensive and customized scoliosis exercise program.
