Scoliosis doesn’t have to mean waiting and watching. The Schroth Method uses scoliosis-specific exercises to help manage curves, build strength, and slow progression.
The Schroth Method is a specialized program of physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE). Using three-dimensional correction, elongation, and rotational breathing, it aims to reduce curve progression, strengthen the muscles around the spine, and improve posture and breathing. It requires a specially trained therapist and is used for adolescents and adults with scoliosis.
“Highest-quality people providing the most evidence-based medicine that produces the best outcomes and creates the best value.”
