SCOLIOSIS
Scoliosis is the lateral curvature of the spine but in reality, it is 3 dimensional
THE SCHROTH METHOD
The Schroth method will teach you how to adopt an improved posture and how to develop the strength and movement habits to maintain it in life (in your activities of daily living). It is an exercise method that aims to improve the postural component of the curve, thereby reducing the asymmetric loading and lessening the power of the progressive cycle.
Individual aims may include:
- Stop / decrease curve progression or partially correct
- Improve posture and movement function
- Decrease pain symptoms
- Improve breathing capacity
- Improve brace effectiveness
- Prevent/delay surgery
- Improve psychological outlook and quality of life
Your physical therapist will spend time teaching you where your curve is located and will explain which structures are involved and in which way.
Once you understand precisely where your scoliosis is in your body, we then follow general principles of correction to improve your alignment in 3 dimensions. We condition and train you to be able to maintain the improved posture in your daily functions and activities.
