چکیده
Introduction Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common form of scoliosis. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), which develops in young adults around the onset of puberty, represents approximately 80% of idiopathic scoliosis cases. This is a case presentation of a 46-year-old woman who was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis and recommended as a candidate for spinal fusion during her early adolescent years. She instead chose to work with conservative therapy sessions for the period of one year. She then opted to practice somatic movement reeducation techniques and yoga, mainly Body-Mind CenteringTM, The Feldenkrais MethodTM, swimming, and Iyengar Yoga.
