We also collaborate with a team of spinal orthopaedic surgeons, orthotics and psychologist to provide with world class services benchmark to international guidelines by SOSORT.
Benefit of Schroth Therapy
With Schroth Therapy, scoliosis patients are taught customized exercises based on their own curves type which will help to optimise their spinal alignment and also improves muscle imbalances to stop or prevent worsening of their curves. Adult scoliosis can be managed through active treatment. Treatment is geared towards relieving symptoms, and not necessarily fixing the curve. The goal is always to decrease pain and improve function.
Improved posture
The goal of Schroth exercises is to de-rotate, elongate and stabilize the spine in a three-dimensional plane.
Restoring muscular symmetry
You will learn to activate your core and build muscles strength.
Postural awareness
Maintain good posture with scoliosis and reduce pressure on the spine and surrounding tissues, distribute your weight evenly and help your joints bear an equal amount of pressure at all times.
