The Schroth Method is a research-backed specialized type of Physical Therapy for scoliosis and hyperkyphosis. The main goal of Schroth is to improve posture, thereby decreasing the likelihood of curve progression.

In juvenile or adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, when there is still growing left, it can be used as the main treatment in mild cases, as an adjunct to bracing when indicated, or even pre- and post-surgically.

Schroth can also be incredibly beneficial in adults to improve posture and help with related pain. Scoliosis is a 3-dimensional instability of the spine and requires very specific and individualized assessment and treatment by a trained professional. Unfortunately we can’t just sidebend to open the curve you see on an x-ray because it doesn’t take into account the rotational component of scoliosis.
