🌟 Understanding Spinal Curves: A Paediatric Physio’s Guide to Healthy Backs! 🌟
Is your child’s posture looking uneven? As a paediatric physio, I use the Schroth Method to promote healthy alignment.
1️⃣ Kyphosis (Rounded Upper Back)
→ Can cause shoulder/neck strain
→ Improved with thoracic extension exercises
2️⃣ Lordosis (Excessive Lower Back Curve)
→ Often linked to weak core muscles
→ Managed with pelvic tilts & core activation
3️⃣ Scoliosis (Sideways Curve)
→ Requires 3D posture training (Schroth Method)
→ Custom exercises to de-rotate & elongate the spine
Why It Matters in HK:
📚 Heavy school bags & long study hours can worsen posture
💺 Desk-bound lifestyles increase spinal stress
