Observations on idiopathic Scoliosis based on a work presented by Gioia Luè, psychologist, at the 8th CSSf Meeting in Mâcon, France, in 2014.
Patients with scoliosis, in the 12
to 18 age group, talk to us and express their daily life problems and
disappointments due to this disease.
The delicacy of their relationship with
their changing bodies during adolescence is well known. If to this precarious
balance a misalignment of the vertebral column is added, provoking an incorrect
posture that is less attractive and requires certain special care, it is
readily apparent that the difficulties can go from being physical to social and
psychological.
