Scoliosis treatment with Schroth exercise therapy
Schroth therapy in the Netherlands
The Schroth method is the only scoliosis treatment whose effect has been scientifically proven. The scoliosis treatment is targeted, specific and easy to apply in daily life. The therapy and posture advice are individually adapted to the personal situation, such as age, prognosis, condition, brace or operation.
HOW DOES SCHROTH SCOLIOSE THERAPY WORK?
The Schroth therapist will examine the patient closely, and this will often be done between two mirrors. This allows the patient to observe the posture himself. It is special for many patients to be able to see the curvature caused by scoliosis and to observe how they use their back during daily activities. For example, someone with scoliosis always prefers to move “with the curve”, which unnoticed and unintentionally stimulates the curvature. When you become aware of this you can also change this.
The exercise program is applied to the individual situation. The aim of the therapy is to prevent and preferably reduce the worsening of the scoliosis.
WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR?
Schroth is a suitable treatment for both growing children and (mature) teenagers. Older (operated) scoliosis patients, patients with an asymmetrical posture and / or pain can also benefit greatly from this approach.
