Schroth Method Scoliosis Exercises

There are numerous Schroth Method exercises. The combination of exercises an individual performs
is based on each unique scoliosis. A few examples of various Schroth exercises are below:

Scoliologic Best Practice

Incorrect Seated Posture

Correctly Seated for Curve Pattern

Best Practice for the conservative care of scoliosis begins with addressing the scoliosis
patients body mechanics and posture during daily activities. Activities of Daily Living
(ADLs)-3D Exercises Made Easy- when performed correctly, may help reduce the
possibility of curve progression. Simple adjustments during daily life, depending on a

patients curve, as seen in the photos above, may make a difference for the scoliosis
patient.
Best Practice also incorporates physio-logic. Treating a mild curve with physio-logic
exercises offers the patient a relatively easy, proactive approach, whose instruction and
proficiency can be accomplished in a short period of time. This new approach is a
viable alternative to the prevailing tenet of watch and wait.
Physio-logic takes a unique approach, employing specific movements to help mobilize
the spine in the sagittal plane to re-establish thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis.
These symmetrical exercises are performed repeatedly. First, the patient must actively
neutralize the lumbar lordosis while tilting the pelvis anteriorly and re-establish the
neutral thoracic kyphosis in a backward direction.
To allow for additional correction in the frontal and transverse planes the physio-logic
program then adds asymmetric exercises for three-dimensional correction. These
corrections are performed as simultaneous movements to allow mobilization in all three
planes.
The current physio-logic treatment protocol, used singularly addresses mild curves,
with a sagital malalignment, between 15 and 20 However, with moderate and severe
curves, instruction in ADLs and physio-logic exercises are used as an adjunct to the
more intensive Schroth exercises.
