This is an X-Ray dated the 29th of May 2008. Which gave a Cobb angle of 67-degrees. A Progression of just under 12%, in the year he was under treatment. Look at how uneven his shoulders are, you can see how crocked Matt is standing. The 1st vertebrae, at the base of Matt's back is missing the 2 nubs that tie it into the muscles. This is not a reason or cause, just another complication.
This picture was taken the 30th of November-2012. Not only was I able to Completely Stop The Progression, but Reduce The Curve By About 20%. Compare it to the Pictures Above and Below, See The Wonderfully Spectacular Difference!!!
This one is taken from the front. I flipped it for a better comparison, it was taken in 2010, I had been able to get his shoulders straight. I have not removed enough of the tension to get his spine to start to straighten yet. But I have eliminated the sharp angle, at the base of Matt's back.
This one was taken Feb-26th-2012. The upper angle has been almost completely removed. More Irrifutable Proof!!!
This picture was dated 3-April-2012, I will be posting another one. Later tonight or in the morning, after I stretch Matt the next time. I still cannot believe how simple it is, all from a simple tight tendon. Imagine my Joy, to discover this. Less than 3 months from his scheduled Spinal Fusion surgery, which I am SO HAPPY that I CANCELLED.
This picture is dated 5-Apr-2012, Matt has not been having any problem walking for quite some time. I am still working to keep him able to get over 90-degrees of elevation, when stretching. He is still growing rapidly. I am sure I will get more straightness, when I am able to get ALL of the tension removed again. We have not been as dilligent as I need to be. But still SO MUCH BETTER, than the X-Ray above!!! Matt was in an accident, someone impacted the front right quarter panel of my wifes car. Almost 20% of elevation was lost, in performing our current stretching routine. How many more are going to have to suffer, before my treatment becomes mainstreamly accepted?

This in another comparison with an
X-Ray taken in 2008, such an
Obvious Differance
This is a dramatization of Matt, when his Left Leg could only be Lifted around 12".
The stretch being done below is how it can be done by an individual with no help. This one is VERY effective, and can be done at just about any wall joining corner. I had the best results when I stretched over 90 degrees, by placing a bottle between the wall and my leg
