The intervention consists of educational sessions providing guided instruction and awareness-based spinal movement training. Instead of focusing on braces or external correction, the study invites participants to practice becoming aware of and gently moving their own vertebrae.

This private research study is exploring a potential new approach to spinal movement awareness for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Participants will receive guided instruction on how to focus on and move individual parts of the spine in a safe, supportive setting.
The purpose of the study is to observe how this voluntary movement instruction can be taught and practiced.
All movement is gentle, non-invasive, and adapted to each participant’s comfort level. No braces, devices, or external manipulation are used.
As a participant in this pilot study, you will receive guided instruction from a supportive instructor and take part in a potential new approach to spinal movement awareness. During study sessions, you will have opportunities to practice gentle spinal movement and body awareness activities.
Benefits may include:
You will also be contributing to research that aims to explore a potential new, non-invasive approach to scoliosis support.

Girls ages 12–14 years with idiopathic scoliosis (Cobb angle 30° or less) who are in good general health and have no history of spinal surgery. Participants should be able to take part in gentle movement sessions.
You’ll take part in guided movement sessions where the goal is to learn whether it’s possible to teach girls with scoliosis to be more aware of their spines and how they move.
No. The study is focused on non-invasive, low-force movement instructions only – no bracing, surgery, or manual adjustments are involved.
Yes. Participation is voluntary and all personal information is handled confidentially. No medical claims are made, and your information will not be shared outside the research team.
