Enjoy Life with idiopathic Scoliosis during Adolescence

Enjoy Living with Idiopathic Scoliosis during Adolescence aims at being a practical tool to improve and enrich the daily work of Physical Therapists, Medical Doctors, Orthopedic Technicians and Psychologists in the area of Idiopathic Scoliosis. In fact, Idiopathic Scoliosis and its treatments can bring to light important challenges, not only for the adolescents and their families, but also for the professionals who take care of these patients. How can we support them? What are the right words we can use to calm down an anxious parent? What can we say when our patient is crying? How can we promote a healthy body image in an adolescent? These questions and more are discussed in this book, which offers useful information and research to support these techniques which come from psychology, neuroscience and humanities, to make the journey in the fascinating world of adolescence. Considering that "Every problem is an opportunity in disguise" (President John Adams), as professionals we can give our support to our patients who live an idiopathic and so inexplicable condition. Several strategies and creative ideas are described to help our patients through their adolescence, finding the path of resilience.
