SCHROTH METHOD

EFFECTIVE & RELIABLE FOR SCOLIOSIS

The Schroth Method is a specialized physiotherapy approach developed by Katharina Schroth in the 1920s. It aims to address the three-dimensional spinal curvature associated with scoliosis.

This non-surgical, exercise-based method combines specific exercises, breathing techniques, and postural corrections to reduce spinal deformity and enhance muscle balance.

HOW SCHROTH METHOD HELP?

Unlike traditional approaches that focus solely on straightening the spine, the Schroth Method takes into account the rotational component of scoliosis.

It employs exercises and postural corrections designed to elongate the spine, promote rotational correction, and improve overall postural alignment.

WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM SCHROTH METHOD?

Scoliosis (curvy spine)
Kyphosis (hunch back)
Hyper lordosis (hollow back)
Flat Back
Sway Back
Uneven hip level
Uneven shoulder level

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE SESSION

BEFORE

The Schroth Method begins with a thorough assessment by a trained Schroth therapist. They evaluate the patient’s spinal curvature, posture, and muscle imbalances. This assessment helps to understand the specific characteristics of the scoliosis and design a customized treatment plan.

DURING

Includes a series of corrective exercises tailored to each individual’s unique spinal curvature. These exercises are designed to strengthen weakened muscles, lengthen tight muscles, and promote a more balanced posture. In some cases, bracing techniques may also be incorporated to support the correction achieved through exercises.

AFTER

Empowers patients to take an active role in managing their scoliosis. Through education and guidance, patients gain a deeper understanding of their condition and learn techniques they can incorporate into their daily lives. The goal is to promote postural awareness and encourage a more balanced and aligned posture beyond therapy sessions.
