  • The method is a physical therapy practice for individuals with scoliosis and kyphosis.

    It can be used to treat patients with scoliosis and kyphosis of all ages and in all stages of treatment: before surgery, after surgery, and especially if surgery is not indicated. Through specific exercises and corrective breathing techniques, the method aims to elongate the trunk and correct the imbalances of the body. By developing the inner muscles of the rib cage, the method changes the shape of the upper trunk to correct any spinal abnormalities.

    The result is a decrease in pain, slowing or halting of the curvature progression, and improved cardio-pulmonary function, mobility, and postural stability.

  • Scolio-Pilates® is a specialized blend of Pilates and physical therapy designed to address the unique needs of those with scoliosis. It focuses on improving spinal alignment, strengthening key muscles, and enhancing breathing patterns—all tailored to your specific curvature. This method not only helps with posture and flexibility but also alleviates pain and improves overall body awareness.

  • Your therapist will help determine how many visits per week/month are best for you based on the evaluation and other factors.

    Most clients need once a week initially, for about a month, then decrease to once every 2 weeks, then once a month, depending on response to treatment.

  • You will be given a home exercise program (HEP) to be performed once a day.

    Your progress and your success with the Schroth program will depend on your compliance with the HEP.

  • It is normal to feel soreness in the muscles of your back and around the spine after your sessions

    and for 24 hours after, as you are working on strengthening the muscles that support your spine.

    Feel free to use heat, or warm Epsom salt baths to relieve soreness, and drink plenty of water.
