Schroth Therapy
My name is Peter Roberts,Schroth therapist. Schroth exercises can reduce curve progression in adolescents, minimising curve size at maturity and maintaining the best possible degree of postural symmetry . For adults the aim is to prevent long term deterioration of curves , reducing the chances of posturally related back pain from increasing curve magnitude and stiffness.
The process includes taking a full history, followed by a thorough examination to assess the clinical need. An exercise program is then produced including advice on daily activities. The patient then learns to perform their exercises accurately and reliably, through practice
guided by the Schroth therapist.Therapy sessions are in 4 hour blocks, the number of sessions will vary depending on curve type and postural maladaptions.Review sessions are then organised to check exercise performance and look for any changes in the curve or curves. Awareness of body position and ability to maintain a corrected posture will develop over time, enabling patients to gain far better control over their scoliosis.
