Weighting
Neuromuscular Re-education is vital to retraining postural control. More specifically, the position and structure of the spine and posture is controlled predominantly by involuntary, reflex neurological pathways. Therefore, scoliosis rehabilitation must include retraining of the involuntary pathways.
The Pettibon Weighting System™ has been tested in multiple clinical reports. It's primary purpose is to correct the position of the spine and posture through stimulation of the body's postural reflexes. Caution must be given; this system only works when fitted properly to the patient, especially the scoliosis patient. Only highly trained clinicians have the experience necessary to fit this weighting system. The biggest advantage of the Pettibon Weighting System is that it is performed at home.
Home care rehabilitation, including this weighting system is a hallmark of the ARC3D Concepts.
