Scoliosis Treatment using Schroth Method - Sidelying Correction

Do you know about Schroth Exercises for Scoliosis?
Here’s the Sidelying Correction Position.
This supported position helps the patient maintain elongation of the spine using the friction of the mat. The rice bags prop up the trunk to shift the curve back towards midline using gravity.

I tried that for years, but my spine was still curved even when the towel was rolled under the convex side

[@TSCConnect]

Yes sometimes it depends on how structurally wedged shaped your vertebrae are, then only so much correction can be expected. Instead the goal is to strengthen the muscles as symmetrically as possible using various Schroth exercises to prevent progression

[@kaceesnow]

@@TSCConnect So is it possible if I try really hard to do intense and effective back strengthening exercise hang up side down constant, do you think it is possible for my curve to go from a 54° curve to around 18-20°?

[@TSCConnect]

@@kaceesnow That's a very specific question that's individual to you that we can't answer on KZbin. Please find a scoliosis-trained Physiotherapist who can assess the nature of your curve and chat with you about realistic goals for treatment. Hope you can access someone near you!

[@kaceesnow]

@@TSCConnect No, there is one I know off, but she just deals with children. With adults, it is just presented it from getting worse. My question meant to be a little general. Like was there ever a case where someone with a severe curve got a reduction around 20°?

[@TSCConnect]

Yes there are some cases, not common but they exist, where clients have 40+ degree curve and it reduces to 20 degrees. These clients were teenagers and also used bracing in combination with curve-specific physiotherapy.

Which hand should be on the ground?

[@TSCConnect]

It depends on what curve type you have and the sizes of the curves; please find a scoliosis-trained physiotherapist in your area who can help you.

[@296LLC]

So the curve is the side closest to the floor, right?

[@TSCConnect]

It depends on your curve and where the curve is (thoracic or lumbar spine). If you can work with a scoliosis-trained therapist, they can find the set-up that's ideal for your spine.

[@KarlaFossoy]

I have right rib hump in lumbar area. Do I lie on right or left side?

[@TSCConnect]

It depends on a few other factors. Is there a scoliosis-trained physiotherapist in your area? Where in the world are you located?

[@AdhraaKareem]

Which said on the earth ?

[@TSCConnect]

It really depends on your curve type

[@noriyanuarita5069]

Is this with the right toracic curve?

[@TSCConnect]

Yes this client has a right thoracic curve

[@noriyanuarita5069]

Should i do both side?

[@TSCConnect]

Typically this exercise is only done on one side, however we recommend you speak with a physiotherapist who is trained in scoliosis who can teach you these exercises in a way that's appropriate for your curve.
