ABOUT Schroth Exercises

Schroth

exercises are scoliosis-specific asymmetric exercises, performed in all three planes of the body. The so-called "rotational breathing", that consists of a combination of abdominal and costosternal breathing is encouraged during the exercise ex*****on. Every movement is dictated by the three dimensional rotational breathing. In prone or supine - special bean bags are positioned under the prominent and asymmetric gibbosities to assure the proper muscle activation, providing a constant localized pressure. Proper ex*****on of exercises provides maximum stretching and strengthening of the aimed musculature in all three planes of the body. Dear all, since many of you were asking for a certified Schroth therapist, I thought it would a good idea to put all the names together at one site. Here are the lists of certified Schroth therapists:

Last week, we examined the visible signs of scoliosis with clothing on. Today, we're delving deeper, exposing a few underlying asymmetries often associated with this condition.

You can see the uneven shoulder height and waistline in the image - some of the many hallmarks of spinal curvature. Every scoliosis journey is as unique as the individual living it. Understanding these physical nuances can empower us to better manage the condition.

Let's keep learning and spreading awareness. Show your support for one another by commenting with the '๐Ÿ’•' emoji below.

Many of us with scoliosis know all too well the puzzle of finding clothes that accommodate our unique bodies. That shirt hanging lower on one shoulder, the asymmetrical fitting of your jeans - the secret struggles we navigate daily. ๐Ÿ˜“

It's often not what people see on the surface but what lies beneath that carries our stories. Scoliosis can make the simple task of dressing into an exercise in creativity and patience. But, rather than seeing this as a frustration, we have the opportunity to embrace our uniqueness and become style innovators! ๐Ÿฆ‹

Just remember, no fashion trend is as compelling as confidence and self-love. So, to all my fellow scoliosis warriors out there: let's continue to celebrate our differences and remember that it's these unique features that make us stand out in the best way. After all, true style isn't about fitting into the clothes, it's about fitting into yourself. ๐Ÿ’š

06/21/2023

Scoliosis is more than a physical journey, it's a test of mental strength and resilience as well. Remember, your mindset is equally important in your road to improved health. ๐Ÿ’ช

It's essential to stay diligent with your Schroth therapy to manage symptoms and prevent curve progression. But equally crucial is nurturing your mental well-being, ensuring your scoliosis journey doesn't negatively impact your mental health. ๐Ÿง 

Always remember, it's okay to have bad days, and it's okay to seek help when things get tough. ๐Ÿ’• You are not alone, and you are more than your scoliosis. Never underestimate the power of positivity, determination, and a strong support network.

This Scoliosis Awareness Month, we not only celebrate victories in physical improvements but also applaud the courage it takes to keep our spirits high, stay patient, and persist despite the challenges.

One of the most frequently asked questions we get at our clinic is, 'How long until we start seeing a reduction in the curve?' โŒš

It's natural to want to see physical changes, but we like to remind everyone that progress isn't just about the numbers.

In Schroth therapy, we aim for holistic progress, not just physical. Yes, we work towards improving posture and alignment, but the real success lies in how you feel. Do you have less pain? Do you feel more comfortable in your body? These are the important victories. โ™ฅ

If you're a parent to a child with scoliosis, remember - it's their body. Their feelings and experiences are crucial in this journey. Giving them autonomy and creating open dialogues about their progress are vital steps in managing scoliosis.

Remember, every victory counts, no matter how small it may seem. Progress is a journey, not a destination. โœจ

Immersing herself in the patient experience, Dr. Sanja Schreiber has tried on a back brace, despite not having scoliosis. Why?

To genuinely understand the daily life of her patients. To feel the discomfort, the challenges, and the small victories that come with adapting to a brace.

This personal journey deepened her compassion and understanding, enhancing her ability to guide her patients effectively. โ™ฅ

As physiotherapists, our work is not just about understanding the theory, it's about empathizing with the physical and emotional realities our patients face. โœจ

If you're looking to learn the Schroth method, wouldn't you prefer to be guided by someone who doesn't just talk the talk, but walks the walk? ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ

As we welcome June, let's remember it's Scoliosis Awareness Month, a time to shed light on a condition that affects many, yet doesn't define them.

Take Usain Bolt, the fastest man alive - he's a shining example of strength and determination, not in spite of his scoliosis, but with it. His determination and spirit have made him a world-class athlete and an inspiration for all. ๐Ÿฅ‡

Just like Bolt, you are more than your scoliosis. โšก

Don't let it stop you from chasing your dreams and reaching your fullest potential.

This month, let's raise awareness, spread knowledge, and most importantly, remember that we are all capable of incredible things. ๐Ÿ’ช

This amazing 73 year old woman came to Curvy Spine to seek help with her de novo scoliosis feeling disheartened after trying other numerous treatments. ๐Ÿ’”

We could not have done this without to Walter Ramos, WCR orthotist, who worked hard adjusting this patient's brace. On the 1st day, we worked for 5h, and the second day took additional 3h of adjustments! Long, but worthwhile and rewarding! ๐Ÿ‘Œ

De novo scoliosis is not the same as idiopathic scoliosis and care must be taken when treating people with de novo deformity. Regardless, the change is possible no matter the age!
