A Scoliosis Therapy Workshop is scheduled for parents and adolescents interested in learning more about the Schroth Method, a conservative exercise treatment approach for idiopathic scoliosis. Slowing down and preventing the progression of scoliosis is a major objective of the Schroth Method. The workshop will be presented at the Scoliosis Therapy Centre, Drysdale on Saturday […]
The results of a study (March 2016) undertaken at a hospital in South Korea reported Schroth exercise therapy as being significantly effective as a conservative form of treatment for idiopathic scoliosis. The study was conducted with 5 female patients over a 12 week period which involved 3 x 60 minute Schroth exercise therapy sessions per […]
The Schroth Method offers conservative management of idiopathic scoliosis in the form of scoliosis specific physical exercises – the main goal being the prevention of curve progression. Scoliosis specific physical exercises counter the ‘vicious cycle‘ by restraining deforming forces and establishing a ‘virtuos cycle’, not only during corrective exercises but also in activities of daily […]
Adults, children and teenagers with scoliosis are all affected by what is known as the ‘Vicious Cycle‘. Once their structural scoliosis has begun, a vicious cycle of asymmetrical gravitational loading takes over. As the Vicious Cycle takes hold it causes: more changes in the deformed vertebrae; further progression of the curve, which looses its flexibility; […]
Schroth Method scoliosis exercises when performed consistently, improve posture, mobility and balance, and facilitate more efficient movement patterns. The Schroth Method is not just another ‘exercise fad’, in vogue for a short period of time only, promising much, but delivering little. Katharina Schroth, who suffered a moderate scoliosis and wore a steel brace at 16 years […]
