About Our Schroth Practice

Developed decades ago in Germany by Katharina Schroth, it is the standard scoliosis treatment in Europe. The therapy, tailored to each patient, focuses on halting curve progression, reducing pain, and improving posture, strength and lung function. It includes stretching, strengthening and breathing techniques. Studies have found that Schroth exercises for scoliosis improves patient prognosis, and reduces the incidence of surgery in all age groups. 

Actual X-rays of a 12 Year Old Patient of Mine:  

A 35 degree curve, now about 5 degrees in brace, and 17 degrees out of brace. The POWER of Schroth and proper bracing in less than 5 months.

• Research shows: Schroth and Chêneau Hard Bracing, together, yields the best results

A Schroth Program Can Reduce Curves Safely.... 

1. Breathing Exercises: Correct rotations and increase lung capacity
2. Posture Exercises: Help restore normal spine position 
3. Daily Habits: Improve posture and cosmetic appearance in your daily life

My program involves an exam and X-ray review to understand your curve in 3 dimensions. I develop a custom program for you that includes proper sitting, sleeping, standing and walking. We then learn the Schroth exercises custom designed for your scoliosis curve. A fully photographic manual is created for you to take home. Ongoing coaching with me is advised to keep you on track and working effectively to halt or reduce the curve.
