Selkie,

Lack of muscle firing and muscle imbalances can contribute to functional scoliosis, muscle compensation and chronic pain if left untreated. As a massage therapist, I treat the effects of it all the time. Unfortunately, not all PTs and massage therapists are trained in dealing with neurological issues that can develop from lack of proper firing, pelvic stabilization, somatic and movement therapies. You were fortunate to find a PT who was trained in muscle firing testing and treatment.
