What Schroth Treatment Can Do for Scoliosis

Schroth Treatment

At Kilkenny Physio Clinic, we are dedicated to providing personalised care for individuals with scoliosis. One of the most effective methods we offer is the Schroth Treatment Method, a specialized exercise-based approach designed to manage and improve scoliosis.

What is the Schroth Method?

The Schroth Method is a non-invasive, physiotherapeutic treatment that focuses on postural correction, breathing techniques, and muscle strengthening. It is tailored to each individual’s unique spinal curvature, helping to reduce progression, improve posture, and alleviate pain.

What Can Schroth Treatment Do for You?

1. Improve Posture: Schroth exercises are designed to re-educate your body, promoting better alignment and reducing the visible signs of scoliosis.

2. Reduce Pain: By strengthening weak muscles and releasing tension in overactive ones, the Schroth Method can help alleviate discomfort associated with scoliosis.

3. Enhance Breathing: Specific breathing techniques improve lung capacity and rib cage mobility, which are often affected by spinal curvature.

4. Prevent Progression: Regular Schroth exercises can help stabilize the spine and reduce the risk of curve progression, especially in growing adolescents.

5. Boost Confidence: Improved posture and reduced pain can lead to greater self-esteem and a more active lifestyle.

Who Can Benefit?

The Schroth Method is suitable for individuals of all ages, from children through adolescents to adults, with mild to moderate scoliosis. It is also an excellent complement to bracing or post-surgical rehabilitation.

Why Choose Kilkenny Physio Clinic?

Theresa McGinn is our certified Schroth therapist. She travelled to Australia in 2013 to have extensive training in the Schroth method of treating scoliosis at the Perth Scoliosis Clinic. In the clinic we provide one-on-one sessions, ensuring a customized treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals.

Prevention is Better than the cure

Theresa firmly believes that intervening early, before the curves become recognised as an actual scoliosis worthy of referral to an orthopaedic surgeon, helps prevent the progression of a mild curve to a full scoliosis.

All scoliosis requiring surgery or bracing started as a mild curve, so why wait until it becomes a substantial curve with a cobb angle which is deemed to be a true scoliosis.

We also recommend many of our clients to do pilates, and by completing these within our clinic you can be assured of excellent care and the exercises can be tailored to your needs.
