schroth is really hard the asymmetrical breathing and it's something you have to do everyday for a long time to hope for a correction.

It is definitely not the easiest, but it is retraining the muscles which takes time. Think of how many times it took you to get good at throwing a ball accurately. It is the same with corrections. You are right though, it takes work!

@@AlignTherapyUtah yeah most of the time the patients are happy after surgery and their pain is alleviated. With the results this high and reliable why not just recommend your patients for the operation, it is better done when they are young? Have you encountered times that it didn't work out with your patients, if so please explain the downsides/consequences experienced. I'd also like to know what you think when adults over age 35 undergo the scoliosis operation, does it generally go as well as with teens in your experience when it comes to pain relief and complications?

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

@@education7281 over 35 it doesn't usually go as smooth. Definitely have have a good outcome but recovery is harder. The reason I dont recommend the operation until they get to 45 is there are complications I have seen like infections, hardware issues, etc that I would like to avoid if possible. Also, surgery isn't indicated until 45 degrees anyway. The research is not showing as much need before that to limit progression. Most surgeons I know don't even consider it till 45 in kids. If they suggest it at lower than that, I would be wary.

[@education7281]

"over 35 it doesn't usually go as smooth. Definitely have have a good outcome but recovery is harder. " Could you explain in what you mean not as smooth for surgeries over age 35? Do you mean that they dont resolve their pain and discomfort as well? Also with the surgicsl complications you see with your patients like harware issues, neurologic issues and infections, do they often resolve after pt or revision surgery or is the patient just left worse off than had they not had surgery? If surgeries are only presribed to patients over 45 deg due to a probability of a low risk of complications, but how about those with pain/discomfort and sitting tolerance and fatigue issues with their scoliosis? Cant they have surgery to address those issues alone even if their curves are not large enough knowing there is no correlation between curve size and pain

That is a bit different. It takes more focus on the residual curve. Definitely beyond the scope of this video.

[@faridatumba7307]

What is the best sleeping position for scoliosis around the thoracic region? And what kind of exercises should I be doing to correct it?

[@Ceria3ella]

Great question Farida. I would have really liked to see a response to this question.

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Schroth exercises. Sleeping depends on the curve and other variables.

Hello! I have Levoscoliosis…anyway you can help me at all??

Definitely. I would highly recommend a Schroth therapist.

To make sure you are doing it correctly, I would really recommend working with a trained therapist.

How bad is her scoliosis because my doctor told me i have a 20 degree angle to the right

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

I cant say specifically but much worse than that.

[@Roseway7]

Do you recommend doing unilateral back excerices if there's a muscle imbalance caused by the scoliosis or focusing primarily on correcting the spine curvature first?

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Good question. I would correct the imbalance and then do symmetrical exercises.

[@Darkious]

I’m thinking of doing unilateral exercises to correct my muscle imbalances. If the concave side is weaker, I’m wondering why you wouldn’t recommend strengthening that side more? Thanks in advance.

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

@@Darkious The cancave side is not weaker. They are both weak because of the mechanical imbalance. The concave side because of a short weakness and the convex because of a stretch weakness. If you strengthen the concave side without balancing the curve, it will just pull you more concave.

I wonder if page is a ballerina.. she has the bun.. and how it affects her since ballet is a lot of jumping.. wonder what that does to a person with scoliosis over time.. what’s good is ballet has probably taught her to elongate upwards which must be good to decompress the curvatures… and also must help in teaching her this work since she has body awareness and understand movement etc

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

I really love doing Schroth with Ballet Dancers. They have great body awareness.

[@larkspur77]

Is it true that Scroth does not work for adult idopathic scoliosis? Perhaps it helps with pain but will not budge that curve will it?

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

It can depending on how flexible it is.

[@chloebishop814]

Would this be applicable to people that have had Harrington rods put in

[@AlignTherapyUtah]

Only after consulting with a certified Schroth therapist.

[@leonghchan]

I have the exact same curve, thanks for the demonstration.

[@claudiusmoi108]

Do these stretch work? I doubt. I know the exercise method.

[@leonghchan]

@@claudiusmoi108 what do you mean by work? Will it reduce the curve?...I'm not sure. But will it help with the pain?...I say yes.

[@claudiusmoi108]

@@leonghchan Yes, can reduce the curve. Do you know why you have the curved spine in the first place? Mine is due to wrong exercise, my right arm use more strength to push barbell than my left. The spine has a rotary curve. It can be cured by special back exercise, make muscles back to symmetrical, the spine too.

[@leonghchan]

@@claudiusmoi108 I started developing scoliosis when I went through puberty around 12 years old. How old were you when your scoliosis first started?

[@leonghchan]

@@claudiusmoi108 I think it is puberty for me. I'm not sure there is another cause for me. My shoulder and trapezius muscles bothers me the most. I've been trying to do strengthening exercises and stretching to help with that pain.

I am 76 and just recently starting the training about 2 months ago from an excellent trainer. I've just ordered Stall Bars from a company in Colorado at a good price-no shipping charges. Can hardly wait till they are installed so I can "practice" at home between training sessions.
