Schroth therapy is a specialised physiotherapeutic method for treating scoliosis and other curvatures of the spine.

The spine is one of the most complex structures of the musculoskeletal system and demands a high degree of understanding, empathy and professional expertise from the therapist.
Preparing and following up the therapy also takes time and is essential in order to ensure you the best possible therapeutic outcome.
Our aim is to offer you the best possible treatment. In doing so we consider not only the quality of the therapy itself but also careful preparation and aftercare.
At ANDRUKONIS Physiotherapy the treatment process for Schroth therapy is carefully designed to address your specific needs.
The therapy begins with a comprehensive case history in order to gain a deep understanding of your individual situation.
Building on this, the question „How does Schroth therapy work?“ is answered in practical terms: it is a specialised form of physiotherapybased on asymmetrical postural and movement exercises that specifically address the curvature of the spine.
Your treatment plan is tailored to you:
Your physiotherapist guides you through a series of exercises aimed at correcting the position of your spine and improving your muscular balance. These exercises are carefully selected for you and adapted to your condition in order to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Regular assessments and adjustments to your therapy plan are crucial in order to monitor your progress and continuously optimise your treatment.
The Schroth therapy is recommended as soon as scoliosis is diagnosed, regardless of age or progression.
Ideally it begins in childhood or adolescence, since the spine is then still growing and therefore more malleable. Even with mild curvatures (from around a 10-degree Cobb angle) the therapy can already be worthwhile in order to prevent your posture from deteriorating.
In adults, the therapy focuses on relieving pain and slowing the progression of the condition.
As a general rule: the earlier Schroth therapy is started, the more effectively the progression of your scoliosis can be influenced.
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, usually accompanied by a rotation of the vertebrae.
Schroth therapy is a specialised physiotherapeutic treatment method, particularly if you suffer from scoliosis.
It is based on targeted exercises to reduce the curvature of the spine and improve your posture.
This holistic approach can relieve your pain, improve your posture and contribute in the long term to stabilising the curvature of your spine.
You should bring comfortable clothing such as sportswear and non-slip socks or trainers to the treatment, and if you have them, your personal orthopaedic aids such as your brace.
The frequency of physiotherapy for scoliosis varies from person to person. Usually you start with 1–2 sessions per week. Depending on the severity of your scoliosis, your progress and your individual needs, the frequency can be adjusted. Regular assessments by your physiotherapist help to determine the optimal treatment plan for you.
The duration of scoliosis treatment depends on factors such as the severity of the scoliosis, your age and how you respond to therapy. Physiotherapy usually extends over several months to years. Regular evaluations by your physiotherapist are important in order to monitor your progress and adjust your therapy plan accordingly.
Complete regression of scoliosis is rare, particularly in advanced cases. However, the right treatment, including physiotherapy and special exercises, can slow the progression of your scoliosis and in some cases reduce the curvature, which leads to an improvement in your symptoms and quality of life.
With scoliosis you should avoid extreme loads on the spine, such as heavy lifting or high-intensity twisting movements. Sports with asymmetrical loading or a high risk of injury should be practised with caution or adapted where necessary. Individual advice from a specialist is advisable in order to determine suitable activities.
