The Schroth Method Explained Part 1

[@MarijaCZadar]

I wish this was around in the 80s when my scoliosis was diagnosed... Now at least I hope the therapists can help my 13-year old daughter who has just been diagnosed. Thank you for this thorough explanation and greetings from Croatia.

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

You are welcome! Thanks for reaching out from Croatia.

You hit the jackpot when your model couldn’t make it. That’s was the best scoliosis video I’ve ever seen !

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

@@Myamirah thanks

You therapists at Align seem great- you explain things for Schroth in a very literal way - thank you!!

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

You are welcome!

Reading “breathe” by James Nestor and he references the story of creation of sroth method in chapter 4, way cool to know what I’m helping my daughter do will help her with her scoliosis curve.

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Awesome book!

[@leewhidbee9111]

Hello Doc, I liked your explanation and demonstration how to help to reduce the progression of the curb. Where is your clinic? My daughter has scoliosis and I was touched of your explanation. I’m looking someone who can help her. Thanks!

Thirty-three years ago, I had rods put along my spine from my T4-L3. Am I able to do the Schroth method?

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Yes, just modified

[@sandyrausch1999]

How many minutes per day should an older Schroth patient with DJD exercise? One of the first patients here to try what was available, the Barcelona method, she says I caught on quickly, but I do get sore, esp at the place the rt curve goes left. Could you discuss sometime daily activities that are BEST for scoliosis, ie walking Vs. standing, sitting etc. Very interesting video. Thank you!

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Great suggestions

My daughter has been diagnosed with scoliosis and she is only 12. Her curve is to the right in the thorax region . We are considering surgery but it's a really hard decision to make. She currently has a 47 degrees curve. Would the Schroth method help her to improve things and avoid surgery at all? Thank you

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

It definitely could. It is not 100% for sure but it might buy her some time to finish growing at least. Current research is showing it is possible to reduce the curve some. Not fix, but reduce. It takes work but I think it would be worth it.

[@leewhidbee9111]

I just check your website. Do you know anyone who do the same in New York? I live in Rhinebeck, New York.

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Check the schroth Barcelona institutes website. I dont know anyone there specifically.

[@leewhidbee9111]

Thank you

I have 2 curves and a slight twist, looking for help in Raleigh NC

[@kayleightaylorart9182]

Have you ever worked with a patient with scoliosis and ehlers-danlos syndrome (HEDS)?

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Yes, I definitely have! It just adds another variable, but still very treatable.

[@kayleightaylorart9182]

@AlignTherapyUtah thank you, this is encouraging to hear, as I'm researching the best ways to help my child. Thank you for all your content, it's very helpful

[@noonecares168]

can u suggest some exercises if i will send my x ray report from 🇮🇳

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

It would need to be in person for best practice and results. It is too complex to be done over telehealth.

[@sdaniels101]

Does the Schroth method work for adults over 40?

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Definitely

[@xygenzy]

Do you treat adults with idiopathic scoliosis?

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Yes we do!

[@kimberlyrolon4328]

Is this similar to PRI?

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Definitely a different technique. Might have some similarities though.
