Schroth Method for Scoliosis Treatment
The Schroth Method uses Posture Specific Scoliosis Exercises (PSSE) and breathwork for the treatment of scoliosis and other spinal conditions. We view the spine in a three-dimensional manner and focus on asymmetrically strengthening weaker muscles and lengthening shorter muscles. The exercises begin with elongation and expansion into the concave areas of the curve. The goal is to halt the progression of the curve and reduce pain or discomfort.

WHAT IS THE SCHROTH METHOD?
The Schroth Method uses Posture Specific Scoliosis Exercises (PSSE) and breathwork for the treatment of spinal disorders including Scoliosis and Kyphosis. Scoliosis is more than just a “C” or “S” curve. It is a 3D rotation of the spinal vertebra. Schroth therapy includes, but is not limited to:
- Manual therapy
- Neuromuscular re-education
- Ribcage expansion
- Shoulder Traction & counter traction
- Pelvic corrections and alignment
- Spinal elongation
The goal is to asymmetrically strengthen weak muscles and lengthen short muscles while expanding into the collapsed concave areas. Performing the exercises in various positions against gravity facilitates lengthening and de-rotating of the spine while reducing pain.
HISTORY OF THE SCHROTH METHOD
The Schroth Method was originally developed in Germany by Katharina Schroth in the 1920’s for her personal scoliosis. Later, Katharina and her daughter Christa, opened a clinic for scoliosis patients in Germany. Today the Schroth Method is the standard non-surgical treatment for scoliosis. It is currently supported across Europe and the U.S. for its effective and positive outcomes.
Every individual is unique and every scoliosis spine has unique curves. At ScoliosisPTJax we understand the everyday challenges you face while living with scoliosis. We will develop a specific exercise program for your needs, and goals.
