Schroth based corrective exercises are curve specific, they teach the person how to lengthen the spine and expand the ribcage in specific areas restoring efficiency in posturing and the ability to maintain this under gravity throughout the day and while performing while activities such as weight training, then the real magic happens! First you must be trained into how to achieve the corrections and then we add strength training in this improved and efficient posture, here is the start of the corrective exercise before adding weights and movement ⭐️

Another great inbrace correction! In brace correction is a factor in brace treatment success, however please note this is in the brace and not reflective of out of brace results, the brace usually has to be worn for 6months before seeing out of brace results.

Did you know you can use bracing even when a curve is in surgical range? In all cases it is realistic to judge outcomes against realistic treatment objectives, these will vary significantly from patient to patient and may include the following:
Prevent curve progression or slow progression to
- Delay surgery to an optimal age allowing full growth potential
- Reduce the degree of surgical intervention by lessening compensatory curvature formation (short fusion versus long fusion)
- An option for those where surgical is not an option due to medical reasons
- In neuromuscular cases to prevent multiple surgeries and provide postural support, pain relief and better quality of life for carer and patient
- For adults in severe cases where surgery is not viable or recommended by your orthopaedic specialist

A great result for conservative treatment of scoliosis with bracing through qualified Orthotist and PSSE Schroth based corrective exercise. Comparisons in relaxed posture before treatment 18months ago and last month. This young girl achieved this result with part time bracing as she is an avid dancer, she has also successfully achieved minimal rebounding with brace weaning as shown by in and out of brace comparisons achieved through brace weaning postural conditioning, she is now able to avoid surgery and has achieved a more balanced profile lessening risk factors for progression in adulthood. There is growing evidence to show bracing can in some cases improve curvature, an effective brace makes all the difference, as does adding PSSE to care! ⭐️ collaboration with and their bracing team!
