I have proven Scoliosis is not a disease. It is an injury and COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE, in the treatment of my son. I have proven that, with the relief I was able to achieve with my son. It should NEVER be allowed to progress far enough to needing surgery, without removing the "Hidden Tension". That is what is now being done.
Idiopathic Scoliosis is caused by a Traumatized Muscle/Tendon. It is a Simple "Hidden Tension". I have been able to REMOVE ALL OF MATT'S PROBLEMS.
Everything listed below is my opinion. I am not a doctor, and I am not trying to give any medical advise. I have repeated things that I think are important. I am just stating about the results attained with my son.
I am POSITIVELY CERTAIN, it is the cause. It is So Stupidly Obvious!!! While researching Idiopathic Scoliosis, I read: We have Scoliosis, because we have no Scoliosis experts. When we have Scoliosis experts we will no longer have Scoliosis. My son had Idiopathic Scoliosis, I felt I needed to become that Scoliosis Expert. In doing that, I discovered and eliminated the cause of my son's affliction of the INJURY that is now classified as the DISEASE of Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Everyone needs to perform the Simple Stretch Test listed below.
The pictures above are what I have proved is the approximate path of the tight tendon, that was creating the "Hidden Tension". Please read on and discover my proof. It is So Stupidly Simple!!! I do not care that anyone else tries to tell me I am wrong, I know I am right. By the WONDERFUL results I was able to achieve in my son. Any questions can be emailed to: ScoliosisPrevention-NOW@yahoo.com
THERE IS NO QUESTION I AM RIGHT. Just try what I say. With my findings, I know Idiopathic Scoliosis is completely preventable. Idiopathic Scoliosis is not an Illness, it is caused by an Injury Traumatized Tendon/Muscle.
I feel doctors are being allowed to Treat / Remove the angle found in Idiopathic Scoliosis = A Result of the Tension, without Removing the Tension = The Cause of the Angle.
This is about how I completely stopped the progression and lessened the severity of my son’s affliction of Idiopathic Scoliosis, BY OVER 20%. Matt had the same symptoms, why not confirm he have the same cause. I cannot believe how Stupidly Simple it is, just from a Tight Tendon.
All I can do is give out the information,
I cannot give anyone the intelligence to
use it.
Researching the statistics of Scoliosis I was feeling very disconcerted. In the outlook of the very grim and shortened life my young son was going to have, 14 years on average. And the much lower quality of life, Idiopathic Scoliosis was going to cause him. It just did not seem fair, to be cut down with such a debilitating problem.
In dealing with my son's case of Idiopathic Scoliosis, I have discovered and removed the cause. Please give this information to everyone you speak with, it is life changing.
How can doctors look at Idiopathic Scoliosis, and not understand it is caused by Immense Tension. It is the reason some Idiopathic Scoliosis sufferers have a low shoulder, it is so obvious.
Some feel it is to be caused by certain chemicals at puberty, the body's rapid growth is how puberty adds to the problem.
It appears to be in part the body's rapid growth that happens during puberty, along with some type of traumatization. The fact that Idiopathic Scoliosis develops, is proof of the trauma. I read where an older gentleman in his 50s developed Idiopathic Scoliosis and now wears a brace. He was on scaffolding when it collapsed, his documented trauma. In another instance where a young girls Idiopathic Scoliosis started after an auto accident, her documented trauma. When a child is born with Idiopathic Scoliosis, there is an undocumented trauma to the mother and/or child. That is the cause, the Tendon / Muscle has been Traumatized. The "Hidden Tension" test would show that, if performed at birth.
YES, IT IS THAT STUPIDLY SIMPLE ! ! !
I know I understand Idiopathic Scoliosis, by the improvements I was able to achieve in my son. I am sure of my method, I know the results.
When I started working with Matt, after a year of doctor supervised threatment. Which included 20 hours daily in a brace, and physical therapy every other day. He stood crooked, walked crooked. And drug one leg, when he walked. Now Matt no longer has a low shoulder, he walks wonderfully and is able to run with perfect form. The only thing different about my son's Idiopathic Scoliosis is, I Removed his Tension. Please help me Confirm, ALL Idiopathic Scoliosis has the same cause.
Idiopathic Scoliosis is said to not be preventable, and that it can be hard to detect. Read on, I will show you the easy test I devised. To recognize if any tension is present, that can be performed in a matter of minutes. It should be performed at all wellness physicals, also at any injury exam.
The test was performed on my 3 other children, to confirm no tension was present. The simple test should be performed often.
I will also inform you about the easy method of tension relief that I devised and used. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed. Or the "Hidden Tension" will be created on the other side, which did occur on my son.
There was tension pulling his spine crooked. That is the reason for the large amount of spinal fusion failures. And, the only partial correction results. Also the large loss of correction after spinal fusion surgery is performed, in the attempt for removal of the curve present in Idiopathic Scoliosis.
My account of how I relieved the tension in my son Matt is listed below. I just want to get the word out, about my discovery. The insight it will give you is invaluable. The knowledge is priceless.
I feel, the current treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis will be seen as one of the biggest mistakes of modern medicine.
The tension relief would also be needed for individuals that have had spinal fusion surgery, to prevent failure.
The hidden tension is the probable reason for most back pain, in a good part of the over 250,000 back surgeries performed in the US annually.
As of April-2011, over 30,000 spinal fusion operations were being performed annually for Idiopathic Scoliosis. A completely incorrect procedure, as I have proven in my son's progress. When Matt was diagnosed, 3 years earlier. They were performing 20,000 of this procedure annually. That is over a 50% increase, in only a few years. At a cost of $131,000 to $250,000 each, for over a $4 billion annual cost. Matt was going to get 100% correction, his surgeon claimed. He had to have known that was not true. The normal outcome is 50% or less, I did the research. I am going to post my description below.
Idiopathic Scoliosis and
How I Removed the Tension
I am not giving any medical advice. I am just telling of my findings, on the cause of my son’s Idiopathic Scoliosis. And of the wonderful results, I was able to achieve. With Halting and Reversing the Progression of my son's infliction of Idiopathic Scoliosis. I am not a doctor, and I am not telling you to not listen to your doctor. I am just explaining the good results I had. I question a lot of things about the current treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis. The improvement I was able to accomplish in my son. After a year of doctor prescribed treatment, which Gave Very Horrible Results. Is where I feel this gives me that right. When stretching the hamstring muscle, the feeling should be stern stretching, not over-stretching pain. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed.
Doctors are leading us to believe Idiopathic Scoliosis is not preventable, which I have proved is completely wrong. They are saying it does not have a cause, because they do not understand it is pressure caused by a tight tendon. Which runs from the low shoulder, normally to the opposite leg. Left shoulder low connected to right foot. Right shoulder low connected to left foot. Sometimes the tension is on the same side. With Scoliosis, the "Hidden Tension" is ALWAYS Present, the trauma occured. The fact that Scoliosis is present is proof of the trauma. If I would have known what I now know, when my son was 13. I would have continued to watched for the tension and completely halted any progression of his case of Idiopathic Scoliosis, well before Matt’s back had any excessive curvature. I still cannot believe Idiopathic Scoliosis has been affecting our children for hundreds of years. And doctors are still treating it so incorrectly; Does no one understand the real cause? I am writing this in an attempt to get surgery for Idiopathic Scoliosis halted. I cannot believe what doctors are missing, in the current treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis. Do they not understand the immense pressure, pulling the back crooked? The current correction procedure has to magnify the already present tension. The reason for the poor results received, with the correction attempts. The only partial correction and the large loss of correction after corrective surgery is performed. I feel it is my duty to the currently more than 80 recipients of spinal fusion daily, in the US for the correction of Idiopathic Scoliosis. My son was diagnosed with a 60-degree curve, years ago. I listened to the doctors, had Matt fitted in a brace. And I paid over $300 a month in co pays. To have therapy done 3 to 4 times a week / every other day. After a year, the curve increased to 67 degrees. Which is almost a 12% increase, while prescribed therapy was being performed. It had him standing horribly crocked and walking so crocked, he drug one leg when walking. That is when I stopped the doctor prescribed treatment and started gently stretching him myself. It is so easy, to prove my theory correct. The tight tendon is so obvious. Draw a line from the low shoulder, to the center of the opposite leg. I Feel, that is the path that the tight tendon is taking. Test anyone with Scoliosis, by laying him or her on the ground face up. Hold the leg on the side of the low shoulder firmly against the ground, and then try to elevate the other leg to a 90-degree angle while keeping both legs straight. With my son, I COULD NOT DO THAT. I could only elevate Matt’s left leg less than 12”, when I started. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed. Now I can get a full 90 degrees of motion, YES it is that simple.
After a year of supposable helpful but expensive therapy. I realized, as in the above described stretch. There was a very tight tendon, pulling my son's back crocked.
I feel I have Discovered and Removed The Cause of my son’s Idiopathic Scoliosis, and probably most of the back pain, that is surgically corrected. Idiopathic just means doctors have not figured out the cause. Not that there is not one.
The "Hidden Tension" being present, would cause the vertebrea to be abnormally worn, which would cause FAILURE. To think I had scheduled my son to have Spinal Fusion surgery performed, really bothers me. When I started stretching my son. Matt stood and walked better, almost immediately. The stretch/test I propose needs to be done at all wellness physicals. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed.
At our final visit to the doctor, that was to perform surgery on my son. I was informed Matt’s back was worse, even though he stood and walked Very Much Better. But Matt’s scheduled surgery was only 2 1/2 months off. A year later, I had an x-ray taken and a Cobb Angle measured. The x-ray technician informed me, the curve intensity was between 50-55%. He asked me what the previous measurement taken was. Imagine his look, when I stated 67. 53.6 is 20% less than 67, 50.25 is 25% less. Not only was I able to stop the curves progression, the curve has been reduced by over 20% without surgery. Just by doing a Simple Stretch. As I previously stated, I wish I knew that when Matt was younger. I could have tested for the tight tendon. And stretched the connecting hamstring muscle, before any angle was caused. Now Matt walks and stands very well, he is able to run with perfect form. His shoulders are now level.
I almost did not pursue this method. It was Too Stupidly Simple. To be missed by so many doctors, the cure was as simple as I have found. Socrates spoke of the curve, but not of a cure. The current treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis will probably be seen as the greatest mistake of modern medicine.
It was really tearing me up, to see my son stand and walk so very crocked. I realized, as in the above described stretch. There was a very tight tendon, pulling his back crocked. That kind of distortion, had to have a definite cause. I feel I have discovered the cause of Idiopathic Scoliosis, and probably a lot of back pain. Idiopathic just means doctors have not figured out the cause, not that there is not one.
I cannot believe the cause of Idiopathic Scoliosis is a simple tight tendon. Doctors are performing a very costly procedure that permanently damages the back, and has to magnify the tension. Also limiting the flexibility. I am so happy, to have figured out a simple cause and cure for Idiopathic Scoliosis. I am very bothered, by the fact that I almost let the medical community destroy my young son’s back. And give him a lifetime of pain and suffering. Being I can show you how to diagnose the cause of Idiopathic Scoliosis, in a few minutes. I feel a main problem could be doctors only know what they are taught. And they are being taught that the horrible angle found with Scoliosis does not have a cause needing to be eliminated but an angle needing correction. Putting the spine in so much more tension. Doctors need to understand the immense pressure present. When speaking with the doctor that was going to be doing the spinal fusion surgery, on my son. What really alarmed me, was the fact that I felt like I was talking with a used car salesman. Who would say anything to not loose the sale. I questioned the correction level claimed, I was being informed 100% correction would have been the outcome. Even though I had read less than 50% was normally the result, which he had to have known. And I also questioned loss of mobility, and was told Matt should have no loss in mobility. But I had read, that is not the outcome. If the tension was left present but the angle in your spine was lessened. The current tension would have to be Increased Exponentially. That is a setting for a spinal fusion failure. Which too frequently happens, 40 to 68 percent of the time. And is the sure reason for such.
It started like any normal day; the day I found out my son had a very fast progressing case of Idiopathic Scoliosis. At a regular doctor wellness visit, my son Matthew was thought to possibly have Scoliosis. But the stretch/test I propose was not done. When I informed the school nurse of this, she was very disturbed by that fact. The nurse had checked Matthew, within the last 6 months. And did not see any sign of Scoliosis. The stretch I propose should have been performed. The doctor claimed the nurse probably missed it, I feel that it probably occurred that rapidly. Being Idiopathic Scoliosis is not understood, doctors do not also understand the rate of progression.
X-rays were taken; a Cobb angle determination of 60 degrees was established. Matthew was fitted with a brace, in an attempt to supposably stop or at least slow the curves progression. The stretch I propose should have been started. The brace came with $300 plus monthly co pays for therapy: $30 at 3 times a week times = $90 x 4 weeks was $360. A cost of $450 on the 2-5 week months of the year, for an annual total of $4500. And that was only the co pay.
Matthew wore the brace more than was prescribed. The doctor claimed the brace was sometimes ineffective, and he blamed not enough time in the brace. Because of an unconfirmed wear time, which would bring unneeded stress on the wearer. For not only having to deal with the effects of Idiopathic Scoliosis, having the astigmatism of having to wear the brace. And also, being accused of not wearing the brace. The doctor did not know how to properly treat Idiopathic Scoliosis. And was blaming his inability to cure, on the child for not wearing the prescribed brace. I know my son wore his brace, for more than was prescribed. Matthew knew he had a growth window that he would only be in for a short time. And wearing the brace, for the next 1 to 3 years might possibly prevent or lessen the need for surgery. Which does lead to a lifetime of complications. Idiopathic Scoliosis surgery has a varying but high rate of complications. Depending on which site quoted, it has a 40% to 68% failure rate. 1-3 for every 1,000 is given permanent nerve damage, which might not be happening anymore. Now that it is carefully monitored, as the angle is being removed. The correcting level sometimes has to be reduced, to bring back movement lost.
At the time of Matt's diagnosis, at around 14 years of age. They were performing 20,000 Spinal Fusion Surgeries annually for Idiopathic Scoliosis. By 2011, less than 3 years. That number had increased to over 30,000, annually in the US. That is almost 4 billion dollars, on the low end. For an infliction that I have proved is completely preventable. I know this for a fact; I proved that with my son. The monetary repercussions are staggering. $131,000 x 30,000 = $3,930,000,000. $250,000 x 30,000 = $7,500,000,000. Not counting all of the complications that result. Within about a year, when the curve increased to 67 degrees the doctor informed us, Matt could discontinue wearing the brace. And wait for his back to fully mature, and then have spinal fusion surgery performed. Because it obviously was not working, which it might have been. The curve could have increased more, if Matthew was not wearing the brace as dedicatedly as he was. Or it might not have progressed as fast, if he had not. That is something I will never know. But I do know, I found and removed the cause of his Idiopathic Scoliosis. By being able to halt the progression, and remove the physical problems he was having. Matthew had such fast progression of his curve. The brace did wear out shirts fast, from rubbing while moving. Looking at Matt was really tearing me up. He stood and walked so horribly crocked, he also dragged one foot. Some parents are very emotionally disturbed by the fact that the case of Idiopathic Scoliosis in their child, is brought on by heredity. And that the parent had something to do with making the child suffer. When the only thing that might be heredity about my son is, Matt has my upbringing. He also does things without thinking. Like climbing that tree. I would have really been wrecked, if I allowed the surgery to be performed. Then I was to learn what I do now know. Matthew knows he can tell me anything, without any repercussions. I asked if he had fallen, very hard at some time previously. Which is when he informed me of a time when he had fallen very hard from high in a tree. That fall must have traumatized his Muscle/Tendon. And it started tightening tremendously. His case of Idiopathic Scoliosis developed from not detectable to 60 degrees, in about 6 months. I really feel for the people. That have had Spinal Fusion surgery to correct Idiopathic Scoliosis, which would cause more tension. When the cause is a tight Tendon/Muscle. I cannot believe doctors don’t realize that to distort a healthy back, there has to be tension pulling it. An attempt to remove the angle is made without removing the tension, which is the cause. Some of the angle is being removed, but the tension is not. Which would put the back in tremendously more tension. To have enough tension, to pull a back crooked. Then to right some of that angle but not release the tension is the reason for the high number of Spinal Fusion failures. The cure is So Stupidly Simple, and the test. To confirm no tension was present, and that Idiopathic Scoliosis would not develop is so simple.
Now Idiopathic Scoliosis is detected, after the tension has become great enough to pull the back crocked. It is then monitored, but the tension is not removed. When the excess tension pulls the back, to over 40 degrees. Most times, surgery is performed. Which then would have to put the back into so much more tension.
After 12 months of therapy, the curve increased to 67 degrees. To have to see my son stand and walk so crooked, was really tearing me up. And to find, the cure was So Simple. Most other types of Scoliosis, and most back pain in the US are probably caused in part by the same tension I have discovered. Scoliosis is also thought to occur from certain chemical reactions at puberty, when the only thing puberty and scoliosis have in common is, the body is growing fast in puberty. When the body grows fast. A tendon gets traumatized or has been traumatized, tightens and pulls on the back.
Place the subject on a flat surface, like the floor facing up. Hold one leg firmly against the ground. And lift the other leg up, to a 90-degree angle from the first leg. Both legs should be able to obtain a 90-degree angle. I was only able to elevate, my sons left leg less than 12” from the ground, his right shoulder was low. That tension is the tension that pulls the back crocked. It is So Stupidly Simple, and that doctors are profiting from a surgery. That needlessly destroys a young back is such a Travesty. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed.
Are we putting our trust in people that cannot see the big picture? Are doctors looking at the accepted means of correcting, and the high monetary rewards for this procedure? Why show a patient an easy treatment method that can be done at home. When a very profitable alternative is Currently Accepted, that leads to a lifetime of follow-up visits with More Money Spent. The thing that really bothers me is the fact that I was just under 3 months from getting the current spinal fusion surgery done on my son. Before investigating and finding my current means of Scoliosis Correction/Removal. Idiopathic Scoliosis is thought to be a spinal deformity; parents are left to feel it is something that is a fault of theirs. that it was in their jeans or in something that the parents allowed to happen. I worked with my son, stopping Matthew's Scoliosis Progression and Lessening the Severity of his Curve. My wife informed me. Each time I did Matthew's stretching, in her presence. Matthew would still need to have the surgery performed. I took Matt in for a Cobb angle determination, after working with him for a year. To find, not only had I halted the progression. I had reduced the angle by over 20%. I am not a doctor, and am not prescribing this as a treatment. I am just speaking of the wonderful results, I was able to achieve.

We were never given any other options, just the brace then Spinal Fusion surgery. I researched Idiopathic Scoliosis extensively, because the currently accepted “Cure” of Spinal Fusion had so many drawbacks. I started to explore options, being I did have a working “Scoliosis Model”. I studied Matt carefully, I found the “Hidden Tension”. when I spoke with other Idiopathic Scoliosis sufferers, I found the “Hidden Tension” always present. As I have already stated. After I started the gentle stretching, Matt stood and walked better almost instantly. Compared to the year spent in the brace for 20 hrs. daily while we watched his walking progress from normal, to walking so crocked he drug one leg. You can see how unlevel Matt's shoulders were. In the X-Ray under his current picture, listed below. Imagine how Wonderful a feeling it gives me, to be able to get such an improvement.
Draw an imaginary line from the low shoulder to the center of the opposite leg, I have proved, that is the path that the tight tendon runs. I have downloaded several picture of people inflicted with Scoliosis. I drew a line, in what I have proven is the approximate path of the tight tendon. It is so obvious, that it is holding and pulling the back crocked.
Matthew started stretching in gym class. One semester in school his junior year, after I had the good results of the over 20% reduction. He argued we did not need to do our stretches, because of the stretching in gym class. I did let Matt stop our stretching routine, for that one semester. His ADHD medication was also reduced by one half that same semester. Which triggered his body to start growing, the normal initial time Idiopathic Scoliosis is first made apparent. When the body starts growing abnormally fast, further proving my theory. By the time of the end of the gym class, Matt could feel himself tightening up. My wife Sherry also noticed him starting to have problems with walking. I was allowed to restart our stretching routine. But we had only lost about 5 to 7 percent, of being able to elevate Matt’s left leg. Which was reattained almost immediately, we just started gently stretching for about 2 to 4 minutes every other night. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed.
I still cannot believe how simple the stretch is. And how fast results were able to be seen. Matt's doctor claimed 100% correction was going to be the outcome. From what I read, he had to know that would not be the outcome. I guess he did not think, I would question and research his answers. Which I had done before they were even stated. All the numbers except for my results with my son can all be researched on the Internet, as I have done.
I have a special love for life. I wrecked on a motorcycle, flew 20’ and hit a wood power pole. I bounced so far from the pole, I was thought not to have hit it. But my helmet was cracked clear to the back, in two places. There was a small blue speck, the same shade as my helmet about 8” from the ground, dented into the pole. When I was found, the bike headlight had been shattered. But the bulb assembly remained intact and illuminated. The police officer that found me informed me of the fact that he past my location 3 times before finding me. Someone must have reported something, for him to be looking. Seeing the shape I was in, a coroner’s wagon was called and then I moved. It was so foggy the helocopter was rerouted 3 times. The helicopter could not land, because of the intense fog. I was in ICU for 21 days and unconscious for 28 days. I was able to take the easy way out, for the most important part of my healing. Where my concerned family had to deal with the daily updates about my health, which I am sure were very grim. I fractured the top vertebrae in my neck 5 times, had broken my collarbone, punctured one lung, and was found with both lungs collapsed. The pressure in my brain was relieved, when it remained peaked at 50 lb. It should normally stay around 12 lbs to 14 lbs. I have a low spot in the front of my head; I can still feel the hole where it was drained. And once when my wife was pregnant and very far along with Nicholas, our first-born. I was walking quickly backward, while cutting the lawn. I sat on a half whiskey barrel planter and pulled the lawnmower onto my foot, taking off about a half inch of my big toe. When I arrived at the hospital, my wife was sent to retrieve the missing portion of my toe. But it was not usable, to many embedded bone fragments. It was very interesting, to watch the doctor lop off more of the bone, to be able to close the opening.
I still have more. When I was 16 and working on my 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner. I was disassembling the lower part of the motor; I placed railroad tie pieces under the front tires, to have better clearance. The only problem was I only blocked the rear of the rear tires. Since being it was on an uphill slant, the front wheels were elevated. Back was the logical direction of movement. I did not contemplate forward movement, until while applying force to break one of the bolts holding the lower part of the rod bearings loose. I caused it to move in a forward direction. You know how when you drive your car off a curb, it bottoms out. My nose and face caught that force. My younger brother, who was working on the other side of my parent's over-sized 2-car garage, informed me. He called my name 3 times, I only remember hearing 1. On that little escapade, I fractured the tip of my nose. Gave myself a concussion; I received 32 stitches in my nose, and 5 over my eye. The doctor informed me, he was surprised it did not shove my nose into my brain. While waiting for a plastic surgeon I was visited by my other, elder brother. I showed I still had good cheer, by commenting on my new ability of being able to pick my nose from the outside Ha-Ha. When I spoke with the ER nurse, asking her if this would look better by Monday morning for my return to school. I was informed the swelling should be just peaking by then. By Monday morning, I had 2 black eyes and my face was so swelled. It didn't even look like I had a nose. I feel, all these experiences help me to better enjoy life. I enjoy life a Million Times Better, than if I was not in the described predicaments. I have such a good outlook on life. I have been told I should be an inspirational speaker. I am better able to look at things differently, like the fact that a back would not be that distorted. Unless something was pulling it and holding it down. That is why doctors must identify the cause of Scoliosis, and relieve the pressure. Before it causes Scoliosis.
In writing this, I am trying to prevent anyone from ever getting spinal fusion surgery for Idiopathic Scoliosis again. 90% of the recipients of spinal fusion surgery are classified as 100% disabled, in there lifetime. A correction of less than 50% is normally achieved, 4% is lost in the 1st year and 1% to 1 ½ % of the correction is lost each additional year. 87% of children ages 3-10 who are diagnosed with scoliosis will undergo surgery to correct the scoliosis. Of these, 20-45% will require additional surgeries. These facts are what I was reading, when I discovered the simple Tight Muscle/Tendon. I still cannot believe that doctors are getting away with performing a very costly, and filled with multiple major complication surgery. That leads to a lifetime of complications. I feel, the current surgical treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis. Will be seen as the most major mistake, of modern medical history. Socrates who was born in 465 BC spoke of observing the curve that is now called Scoliosis. Corsets and/or braces have been made since the 1500s. Are doctors stupid enough to miss something this simple. Therapy, just doing a simple stretch, is not near as lucrative as Spinal Fusion Surgery. Children need to be tested for a tight tendon. And the tension needs to be removed, before damage is caused.
When I speak about the cause of Scoliosis, I am informed. My cure is too simple, doctors would know that. The newest surgery actually removes vertebrae to make room in the back. Which further enforces my argument of needing to stretch the tendon. This worked Wonderfully with my son. Again why should he have the same symptoms, and not have the same cause. It is not a big deal to prove I am right, just a simple stretch. Please Email any questions to:

The picture just below on the left was taken 12-Oct-2011. The one on right is of an X-Ray dating 29-May-2008, quite a LARGE difference. They do not look like the same person. I did not take any "as found" pictures of Matt, I did not expect get the wonderful results attained. But you can see how he was standing by the X-Ray picture. All from a simple stretch, YES IT IS THAT SIMPLE. Please try the simple “Hidden Tension” test.
Idiopathic Scoliosis is caused by a Traumatized Muscle/Tendon. It is a Simple "Hidden Tension". I have been able to REMOVE ALL OF MATT'S PROBLEMS.
Everything listed below is my opinion. I am not a doctor, and I am not trying to give any medical advise. I have repeated things that I think are important. I am just stating about the results attained with my son.
I am POSITIVELY CERTAIN, it is the cause. It is So Stupidly Obvious!!! While researching Idiopathic Scoliosis, I read: We have Scoliosis, because we have no Scoliosis experts. When we have Scoliosis experts we will no longer have Scoliosis. My son had Idiopathic Scoliosis, I felt I needed to become that Scoliosis Expert. In doing that, I discovered and eliminated the cause of my son's affliction of the INJURY that is now classified as the DISEASE of Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Everyone needs to perform the Simple Stretch Test listed below.
The pictures above are what I have proved is the approximate path of the tight tendon, that was creating the "Hidden Tension". Please read on and discover my proof. It is So Stupidly Simple!!! I do not care that anyone else tries to tell me I am wrong, I know I am right. By the WONDERFUL results I was able to achieve in my son. Any questions can be emailed to: ScoliosisPrevention-NOW@yahoo.com
THERE IS NO QUESTION I AM RIGHT. Just try what I say. With my findings, I know Idiopathic Scoliosis is completely preventable. Idiopathic Scoliosis is not an Illness, it is caused by an Injury Traumatized Tendon/Muscle.
I feel doctors are being allowed to Treat / Remove the angle found in Idiopathic Scoliosis = A Result of the Tension, without Removing the Tension = The Cause of the Angle.
This is about how I completely stopped the progression and lessened the severity of my son’s affliction of Idiopathic Scoliosis, BY OVER 20%. Matt had the same symptoms, why not confirm he have the same cause. I cannot believe how Stupidly Simple it is, just from a Tight Tendon.
All I can do is give out the information,
I cannot give anyone the intelligence to
use it.
Researching the statistics of Scoliosis I was feeling very disconcerted. In the outlook of the very grim and shortened life my young son was going to have, 14 years on average. And the much lower quality of life, Idiopathic Scoliosis was going to cause him. It just did not seem fair, to be cut down with such a debilitating problem.
In dealing with my son's case of Idiopathic Scoliosis, I have discovered and removed the cause. Please give this information to everyone you speak with, it is life changing.
How can doctors look at Idiopathic Scoliosis, and not understand it is caused by Immense Tension. It is the reason some Idiopathic Scoliosis sufferers have a low shoulder, it is so obvious.
Some feel it is to be caused by certain chemicals at puberty, the body's rapid growth is how puberty adds to the problem.
It appears to be in part the body's rapid growth that happens during puberty, along with some type of traumatization. The fact that Idiopathic Scoliosis develops, is proof of the trauma. I read where an older gentleman in his 50s developed Idiopathic Scoliosis and now wears a brace. He was on scaffolding when it collapsed, his documented trauma. In another instance where a young girls Idiopathic Scoliosis started after an auto accident, her documented trauma. When a child is born with Idiopathic Scoliosis, there is an undocumented trauma to the mother and/or child. That is the cause, the Tendon / Muscle has been Traumatized. The "Hidden Tension" test would show that, if performed at birth.
YES, IT IS THAT STUPIDLY SIMPLE ! ! !
I know I understand Idiopathic Scoliosis, by the improvements I was able to achieve in my son. I am sure of my method, I know the results.
When I started working with Matt, after a year of doctor supervised threatment. Which included 20 hours daily in a brace, and physical therapy every other day. He stood crooked, walked crooked. And drug one leg, when he walked. Now Matt no longer has a low shoulder, he walks wonderfully and is able to run with perfect form. The only thing different about my son's Idiopathic Scoliosis is, I Removed his Tension. Please help me Confirm, ALL Idiopathic Scoliosis has the same cause.
Idiopathic Scoliosis is said to not be preventable, and that it can be hard to detect. Read on, I will show you the easy test I devised. To recognize if any tension is present, that can be performed in a matter of minutes. It should be performed at all wellness physicals, also at any injury exam.
The test was performed on my 3 other children, to confirm no tension was present. The simple test should be performed often.
I will also inform you about the easy method of tension relief that I devised and used. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed. Or the "Hidden Tension" will be created on the other side, which did occur on my son.
There was tension pulling his spine crooked. That is the reason for the large amount of spinal fusion failures. And, the only partial correction results. Also the large loss of correction after spinal fusion surgery is performed, in the attempt for removal of the curve present in Idiopathic Scoliosis.
My account of how I relieved the tension in my son Matt is listed below. I just want to get the word out, about my discovery. The insight it will give you is invaluable. The knowledge is priceless.
I feel, the current treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis will be seen as one of the biggest mistakes of modern medicine.
The tension relief would also be needed for individuals that have had spinal fusion surgery, to prevent failure.
The hidden tension is the probable reason for most back pain, in a good part of the over 250,000 back surgeries performed in the US annually.
As of April-2011, over 30,000 spinal fusion operations were being performed annually for Idiopathic Scoliosis. A completely incorrect procedure, as I have proven in my son's progress. When Matt was diagnosed, 3 years earlier. They were performing 20,000 of this procedure annually. That is over a 50% increase, in only a few years. At a cost of $131,000 to $250,000 each, for over a $4 billion annual cost. Matt was going to get 100% correction, his surgeon claimed. He had to have known that was not true. The normal outcome is 50% or less, I did the research. I am going to post my description below.
Idiopathic Scoliosis and
How I Removed the Tension
I am not giving any medical advice. I am just telling of my findings, on the cause of my son’s Idiopathic Scoliosis. And of the wonderful results, I was able to achieve. With Halting and Reversing the Progression of my son's infliction of Idiopathic Scoliosis. I am not a doctor, and I am not telling you to not listen to your doctor. I am just explaining the good results I had. I question a lot of things about the current treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis. The improvement I was able to accomplish in my son. After a year of doctor prescribed treatment, which Gave Very Horrible Results. Is where I feel this gives me that right. When stretching the hamstring muscle, the feeling should be stern stretching, not over-stretching pain. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed.
Doctors are leading us to believe Idiopathic Scoliosis is not preventable, which I have proved is completely wrong. They are saying it does not have a cause, because they do not understand it is pressure caused by a tight tendon. Which runs from the low shoulder, normally to the opposite leg. Left shoulder low connected to right foot. Right shoulder low connected to left foot. Sometimes the tension is on the same side. With Scoliosis, the "Hidden Tension" is ALWAYS Present, the trauma occured. The fact that Scoliosis is present is proof of the trauma. If I would have known what I now know, when my son was 13. I would have continued to watched for the tension and completely halted any progression of his case of Idiopathic Scoliosis, well before Matt’s back had any excessive curvature. I still cannot believe Idiopathic Scoliosis has been affecting our children for hundreds of years. And doctors are still treating it so incorrectly; Does no one understand the real cause? I am writing this in an attempt to get surgery for Idiopathic Scoliosis halted. I cannot believe what doctors are missing, in the current treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis. Do they not understand the immense pressure, pulling the back crooked? The current correction procedure has to magnify the already present tension. The reason for the poor results received, with the correction attempts. The only partial correction and the large loss of correction after corrective surgery is performed. I feel it is my duty to the currently more than 80 recipients of spinal fusion daily, in the US for the correction of Idiopathic Scoliosis. My son was diagnosed with a 60-degree curve, years ago. I listened to the doctors, had Matt fitted in a brace. And I paid over $300 a month in co pays. To have therapy done 3 to 4 times a week / every other day. After a year, the curve increased to 67 degrees. Which is almost a 12% increase, while prescribed therapy was being performed. It had him standing horribly crocked and walking so crocked, he drug one leg when walking. That is when I stopped the doctor prescribed treatment and started gently stretching him myself. It is so easy, to prove my theory correct. The tight tendon is so obvious. Draw a line from the low shoulder, to the center of the opposite leg. I Feel, that is the path that the tight tendon is taking. Test anyone with Scoliosis, by laying him or her on the ground face up. Hold the leg on the side of the low shoulder firmly against the ground, and then try to elevate the other leg to a 90-degree angle while keeping both legs straight. With my son, I COULD NOT DO THAT. I could only elevate Matt’s left leg less than 12”, when I started. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed. Now I can get a full 90 degrees of motion, YES it is that simple.
After a year of supposable helpful but expensive therapy. I realized, as in the above described stretch. There was a very tight tendon, pulling my son's back crocked.
I feel I have Discovered and Removed The Cause of my son’s Idiopathic Scoliosis, and probably most of the back pain, that is surgically corrected. Idiopathic just means doctors have not figured out the cause. Not that there is not one.
The "Hidden Tension" being present, would cause the vertebrea to be abnormally worn, which would cause FAILURE. To think I had scheduled my son to have Spinal Fusion surgery performed, really bothers me. When I started stretching my son. Matt stood and walked better, almost immediately. The stretch/test I propose needs to be done at all wellness physicals. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed.
At our final visit to the doctor, that was to perform surgery on my son. I was informed Matt’s back was worse, even though he stood and walked Very Much Better. But Matt’s scheduled surgery was only 2 1/2 months off. A year later, I had an x-ray taken and a Cobb Angle measured. The x-ray technician informed me, the curve intensity was between 50-55%. He asked me what the previous measurement taken was. Imagine his look, when I stated 67. 53.6 is 20% less than 67, 50.25 is 25% less. Not only was I able to stop the curves progression, the curve has been reduced by over 20% without surgery. Just by doing a Simple Stretch. As I previously stated, I wish I knew that when Matt was younger. I could have tested for the tight tendon. And stretched the connecting hamstring muscle, before any angle was caused. Now Matt walks and stands very well, he is able to run with perfect form. His shoulders are now level.
I almost did not pursue this method. It was Too Stupidly Simple. To be missed by so many doctors, the cure was as simple as I have found. Socrates spoke of the curve, but not of a cure. The current treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis will probably be seen as the greatest mistake of modern medicine.
It was really tearing me up, to see my son stand and walk so very crocked. I realized, as in the above described stretch. There was a very tight tendon, pulling his back crocked. That kind of distortion, had to have a definite cause. I feel I have discovered the cause of Idiopathic Scoliosis, and probably a lot of back pain. Idiopathic just means doctors have not figured out the cause, not that there is not one.
I cannot believe the cause of Idiopathic Scoliosis is a simple tight tendon. Doctors are performing a very costly procedure that permanently damages the back, and has to magnify the tension. Also limiting the flexibility. I am so happy, to have figured out a simple cause and cure for Idiopathic Scoliosis. I am very bothered, by the fact that I almost let the medical community destroy my young son’s back. And give him a lifetime of pain and suffering. Being I can show you how to diagnose the cause of Idiopathic Scoliosis, in a few minutes. I feel a main problem could be doctors only know what they are taught. And they are being taught that the horrible angle found with Scoliosis does not have a cause needing to be eliminated but an angle needing correction. Putting the spine in so much more tension. Doctors need to understand the immense pressure present. When speaking with the doctor that was going to be doing the spinal fusion surgery, on my son. What really alarmed me, was the fact that I felt like I was talking with a used car salesman. Who would say anything to not loose the sale. I questioned the correction level claimed, I was being informed 100% correction would have been the outcome. Even though I had read less than 50% was normally the result, which he had to have known. And I also questioned loss of mobility, and was told Matt should have no loss in mobility. But I had read, that is not the outcome. If the tension was left present but the angle in your spine was lessened. The current tension would have to be Increased Exponentially. That is a setting for a spinal fusion failure. Which too frequently happens, 40 to 68 percent of the time. And is the sure reason for such.
It started like any normal day; the day I found out my son had a very fast progressing case of Idiopathic Scoliosis. At a regular doctor wellness visit, my son Matthew was thought to possibly have Scoliosis. But the stretch/test I propose was not done. When I informed the school nurse of this, she was very disturbed by that fact. The nurse had checked Matthew, within the last 6 months. And did not see any sign of Scoliosis. The stretch I propose should have been performed. The doctor claimed the nurse probably missed it, I feel that it probably occurred that rapidly. Being Idiopathic Scoliosis is not understood, doctors do not also understand the rate of progression.
X-rays were taken; a Cobb angle determination of 60 degrees was established. Matthew was fitted with a brace, in an attempt to supposably stop or at least slow the curves progression. The stretch I propose should have been started. The brace came with $300 plus monthly co pays for therapy: $30 at 3 times a week times = $90 x 4 weeks was $360. A cost of $450 on the 2-5 week months of the year, for an annual total of $4500. And that was only the co pay.
Matthew wore the brace more than was prescribed. The doctor claimed the brace was sometimes ineffective, and he blamed not enough time in the brace. Because of an unconfirmed wear time, which would bring unneeded stress on the wearer. For not only having to deal with the effects of Idiopathic Scoliosis, having the astigmatism of having to wear the brace. And also, being accused of not wearing the brace. The doctor did not know how to properly treat Idiopathic Scoliosis. And was blaming his inability to cure, on the child for not wearing the prescribed brace. I know my son wore his brace, for more than was prescribed. Matthew knew he had a growth window that he would only be in for a short time. And wearing the brace, for the next 1 to 3 years might possibly prevent or lessen the need for surgery. Which does lead to a lifetime of complications. Idiopathic Scoliosis surgery has a varying but high rate of complications. Depending on which site quoted, it has a 40% to 68% failure rate. 1-3 for every 1,000 is given permanent nerve damage, which might not be happening anymore. Now that it is carefully monitored, as the angle is being removed. The correcting level sometimes has to be reduced, to bring back movement lost.
At the time of Matt's diagnosis, at around 14 years of age. They were performing 20,000 Spinal Fusion Surgeries annually for Idiopathic Scoliosis. By 2011, less than 3 years. That number had increased to over 30,000, annually in the US. That is almost 4 billion dollars, on the low end. For an infliction that I have proved is completely preventable. I know this for a fact; I proved that with my son. The monetary repercussions are staggering. $131,000 x 30,000 = $3,930,000,000. $250,000 x 30,000 = $7,500,000,000. Not counting all of the complications that result. Within about a year, when the curve increased to 67 degrees the doctor informed us, Matt could discontinue wearing the brace. And wait for his back to fully mature, and then have spinal fusion surgery performed. Because it obviously was not working, which it might have been. The curve could have increased more, if Matthew was not wearing the brace as dedicatedly as he was. Or it might not have progressed as fast, if he had not. That is something I will never know. But I do know, I found and removed the cause of his Idiopathic Scoliosis. By being able to halt the progression, and remove the physical problems he was having. Matthew had such fast progression of his curve. The brace did wear out shirts fast, from rubbing while moving. Looking at Matt was really tearing me up. He stood and walked so horribly crocked, he also dragged one foot. Some parents are very emotionally disturbed by the fact that the case of Idiopathic Scoliosis in their child, is brought on by heredity. And that the parent had something to do with making the child suffer. When the only thing that might be heredity about my son is, Matt has my upbringing. He also does things without thinking. Like climbing that tree. I would have really been wrecked, if I allowed the surgery to be performed. Then I was to learn what I do now know. Matthew knows he can tell me anything, without any repercussions. I asked if he had fallen, very hard at some time previously. Which is when he informed me of a time when he had fallen very hard from high in a tree. That fall must have traumatized his Muscle/Tendon. And it started tightening tremendously. His case of Idiopathic Scoliosis developed from not detectable to 60 degrees, in about 6 months. I really feel for the people. That have had Spinal Fusion surgery to correct Idiopathic Scoliosis, which would cause more tension. When the cause is a tight Tendon/Muscle. I cannot believe doctors don’t realize that to distort a healthy back, there has to be tension pulling it. An attempt to remove the angle is made without removing the tension, which is the cause. Some of the angle is being removed, but the tension is not. Which would put the back in tremendously more tension. To have enough tension, to pull a back crooked. Then to right some of that angle but not release the tension is the reason for the high number of Spinal Fusion failures. The cure is So Stupidly Simple, and the test. To confirm no tension was present, and that Idiopathic Scoliosis would not develop is so simple.
Now Idiopathic Scoliosis is detected, after the tension has become great enough to pull the back crocked. It is then monitored, but the tension is not removed. When the excess tension pulls the back, to over 40 degrees. Most times, surgery is performed. Which then would have to put the back into so much more tension.
After 12 months of therapy, the curve increased to 67 degrees. To have to see my son stand and walk so crooked, was really tearing me up. And to find, the cure was So Simple. Most other types of Scoliosis, and most back pain in the US are probably caused in part by the same tension I have discovered. Scoliosis is also thought to occur from certain chemical reactions at puberty, when the only thing puberty and scoliosis have in common is, the body is growing fast in puberty. When the body grows fast. A tendon gets traumatized or has been traumatized, tightens and pulls on the back.
Place the subject on a flat surface, like the floor facing up. Hold one leg firmly against the ground. And lift the other leg up, to a 90-degree angle from the first leg. Both legs should be able to obtain a 90-degree angle. I was only able to elevate, my sons left leg less than 12” from the ground, his right shoulder was low. That tension is the tension that pulls the back crocked. It is So Stupidly Simple, and that doctors are profiting from a surgery. That needlessly destroys a young back is such a Travesty. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed.
Are we putting our trust in people that cannot see the big picture? Are doctors looking at the accepted means of correcting, and the high monetary rewards for this procedure? Why show a patient an easy treatment method that can be done at home. When a very profitable alternative is Currently Accepted, that leads to a lifetime of follow-up visits with More Money Spent. The thing that really bothers me is the fact that I was just under 3 months from getting the current spinal fusion surgery done on my son. Before investigating and finding my current means of Scoliosis Correction/Removal. Idiopathic Scoliosis is thought to be a spinal deformity; parents are left to feel it is something that is a fault of theirs. that it was in their jeans or in something that the parents allowed to happen. I worked with my son, stopping Matthew's Scoliosis Progression and Lessening the Severity of his Curve. My wife informed me. Each time I did Matthew's stretching, in her presence. Matthew would still need to have the surgery performed. I took Matt in for a Cobb angle determination, after working with him for a year. To find, not only had I halted the progression. I had reduced the angle by over 20%. I am not a doctor, and am not prescribing this as a treatment. I am just speaking of the wonderful results, I was able to achieve.

We were never given any other options, just the brace then Spinal Fusion surgery. I researched Idiopathic Scoliosis extensively, because the currently accepted “Cure” of Spinal Fusion had so many drawbacks. I started to explore options, being I did have a working “Scoliosis Model”. I studied Matt carefully, I found the “Hidden Tension”. when I spoke with other Idiopathic Scoliosis sufferers, I found the “Hidden Tension” always present. As I have already stated. After I started the gentle stretching, Matt stood and walked better almost instantly. Compared to the year spent in the brace for 20 hrs. daily while we watched his walking progress from normal, to walking so crocked he drug one leg. You can see how unlevel Matt's shoulders were. In the X-Ray under his current picture, listed below. Imagine how Wonderful a feeling it gives me, to be able to get such an improvement.
Draw an imaginary line from the low shoulder to the center of the opposite leg, I have proved, that is the path that the tight tendon runs. I have downloaded several picture of people inflicted with Scoliosis. I drew a line, in what I have proven is the approximate path of the tight tendon. It is so obvious, that it is holding and pulling the back crocked.
Matthew started stretching in gym class. One semester in school his junior year, after I had the good results of the over 20% reduction. He argued we did not need to do our stretches, because of the stretching in gym class. I did let Matt stop our stretching routine, for that one semester. His ADHD medication was also reduced by one half that same semester. Which triggered his body to start growing, the normal initial time Idiopathic Scoliosis is first made apparent. When the body starts growing abnormally fast, further proving my theory. By the time of the end of the gym class, Matt could feel himself tightening up. My wife Sherry also noticed him starting to have problems with walking. I was allowed to restart our stretching routine. But we had only lost about 5 to 7 percent, of being able to elevate Matt’s left leg. Which was reattained almost immediately, we just started gently stretching for about 2 to 4 minutes every other night. Both legs need to be given the same stretching routine, to make sure they both have the tension Removed.
I still cannot believe how simple the stretch is. And how fast results were able to be seen. Matt's doctor claimed 100% correction was going to be the outcome. From what I read, he had to know that would not be the outcome. I guess he did not think, I would question and research his answers. Which I had done before they were even stated. All the numbers except for my results with my son can all be researched on the Internet, as I have done.
I have a special love for life. I wrecked on a motorcycle, flew 20’ and hit a wood power pole. I bounced so far from the pole, I was thought not to have hit it. But my helmet was cracked clear to the back, in two places. There was a small blue speck, the same shade as my helmet about 8” from the ground, dented into the pole. When I was found, the bike headlight had been shattered. But the bulb assembly remained intact and illuminated. The police officer that found me informed me of the fact that he past my location 3 times before finding me. Someone must have reported something, for him to be looking. Seeing the shape I was in, a coroner’s wagon was called and then I moved. It was so foggy the helocopter was rerouted 3 times. The helicopter could not land, because of the intense fog. I was in ICU for 21 days and unconscious for 28 days. I was able to take the easy way out, for the most important part of my healing. Where my concerned family had to deal with the daily updates about my health, which I am sure were very grim. I fractured the top vertebrae in my neck 5 times, had broken my collarbone, punctured one lung, and was found with both lungs collapsed. The pressure in my brain was relieved, when it remained peaked at 50 lb. It should normally stay around 12 lbs to 14 lbs. I have a low spot in the front of my head; I can still feel the hole where it was drained. And once when my wife was pregnant and very far along with Nicholas, our first-born. I was walking quickly backward, while cutting the lawn. I sat on a half whiskey barrel planter and pulled the lawnmower onto my foot, taking off about a half inch of my big toe. When I arrived at the hospital, my wife was sent to retrieve the missing portion of my toe. But it was not usable, to many embedded bone fragments. It was very interesting, to watch the doctor lop off more of the bone, to be able to close the opening.
I still have more. When I was 16 and working on my 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner. I was disassembling the lower part of the motor; I placed railroad tie pieces under the front tires, to have better clearance. The only problem was I only blocked the rear of the rear tires. Since being it was on an uphill slant, the front wheels were elevated. Back was the logical direction of movement. I did not contemplate forward movement, until while applying force to break one of the bolts holding the lower part of the rod bearings loose. I caused it to move in a forward direction. You know how when you drive your car off a curb, it bottoms out. My nose and face caught that force. My younger brother, who was working on the other side of my parent's over-sized 2-car garage, informed me. He called my name 3 times, I only remember hearing 1. On that little escapade, I fractured the tip of my nose. Gave myself a concussion; I received 32 stitches in my nose, and 5 over my eye. The doctor informed me, he was surprised it did not shove my nose into my brain. While waiting for a plastic surgeon I was visited by my other, elder brother. I showed I still had good cheer, by commenting on my new ability of being able to pick my nose from the outside Ha-Ha. When I spoke with the ER nurse, asking her if this would look better by Monday morning for my return to school. I was informed the swelling should be just peaking by then. By Monday morning, I had 2 black eyes and my face was so swelled. It didn't even look like I had a nose. I feel, all these experiences help me to better enjoy life. I enjoy life a Million Times Better, than if I was not in the described predicaments. I have such a good outlook on life. I have been told I should be an inspirational speaker. I am better able to look at things differently, like the fact that a back would not be that distorted. Unless something was pulling it and holding it down. That is why doctors must identify the cause of Scoliosis, and relieve the pressure. Before it causes Scoliosis.
In writing this, I am trying to prevent anyone from ever getting spinal fusion surgery for Idiopathic Scoliosis again. 90% of the recipients of spinal fusion surgery are classified as 100% disabled, in there lifetime. A correction of less than 50% is normally achieved, 4% is lost in the 1st year and 1% to 1 ½ % of the correction is lost each additional year. 87% of children ages 3-10 who are diagnosed with scoliosis will undergo surgery to correct the scoliosis. Of these, 20-45% will require additional surgeries. These facts are what I was reading, when I discovered the simple Tight Muscle/Tendon. I still cannot believe that doctors are getting away with performing a very costly, and filled with multiple major complication surgery. That leads to a lifetime of complications. I feel, the current surgical treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis. Will be seen as the most major mistake, of modern medical history. Socrates who was born in 465 BC spoke of observing the curve that is now called Scoliosis. Corsets and/or braces have been made since the 1500s. Are doctors stupid enough to miss something this simple. Therapy, just doing a simple stretch, is not near as lucrative as Spinal Fusion Surgery. Children need to be tested for a tight tendon. And the tension needs to be removed, before damage is caused.
When I speak about the cause of Scoliosis, I am informed. My cure is too simple, doctors would know that. The newest surgery actually removes vertebrae to make room in the back. Which further enforces my argument of needing to stretch the tendon. This worked Wonderfully with my son. Again why should he have the same symptoms, and not have the same cause. It is not a big deal to prove I am right, just a simple stretch. Please Email any questions to:

The picture just below on the left was taken 12-Oct-2011. The one on right is of an X-Ray dating 29-May-2008, quite a LARGE difference. They do not look like the same person. I did not take any "as found" pictures of Matt, I did not expect get the wonderful results attained. But you can see how he was standing by the X-Ray picture. All from a simple stretch, YES IT IS THAT SIMPLE. Please try the simple “Hidden Tension” test.
Look at the differance above, the picture on the left. There is NO COMPARISON, to the X-Ray on the right. The 2 below side by side show such a Continued Improvement. The picture below on the right was take 21-Feb-2012.
All from a Simple Stretch ! ! !
All from a Simple Stretch ! ! !
Below I have posted a picture of the Test I developed and used, to identify the “Hidden Tension”. It is also the Stretch I used to remove it. I was only able to elevate my sons left leg under 12” when we started. Now look at the elevation I am able to attain. Please email me your findings: ScoliosisPrevention-now@yahoo.com
