The CLEAR Institute has developed a specialized treatment protocol for scoliosis called, mix, fix, set. The soft tissue slowly begin to adapt to the abnormal spinal position, essentially “locking” the scoliosis in place. It becomes necessary to “unlock” the spinal position from the maladapted soft tissue (mix), so the spine can be repositioned (fix), and finally the soft tissue can be re-trained (set) to hold the spine in the new straighter position.
