At FRISKFYSIO we understand how important targeted and effective treatment is for scoliosis and other spinal deformities. That is why we offer Schroth Therapy, a science-based method that helps with the correcting posture, reducing pain and slowing or stabilising curvature.

The Schroth method is a specialised exercise therapy for people with scoliosis, hyperkyphosis (hunchback) and other spinal abnormalities. This therapy focuses on:

• 3D posture correction: Because scoliosis is not only a lateral, but also a three-dimensional curvature causes, therapy is adjusted accordingly.
• Specific breathing techniques: Through rotational breathing the deformed spine is supported and corrected.
• Muscle strengthening and mobilisation: Targeted exercises help the muscles around the spine stronger and smoother to make.
• Awareness and self-management: Patients learn how to adjust their posture and movements in everyday life to limit further curvature.

Schroth Therapy is effective for:

• Children and teenagers with scoliosis (in growth) - to slow or stabilise the development of curvature.
• Adults with scoliosis - to reduce symptoms and develop better posture.
• People with hyperkyphosis (e.g. Scheuermann's disease) - To improve posture and mobility.
• Postoperative rehabilitation - To make the back stronger and more stable after surgery.
