About Us
What is the Schroth Method?
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.
