the Schroth method

is a non-surgical treatment for scoliosis, kyphosis and other spinal disorders. Created by someone with scoliosis herself, the Schroth method is catered specifically to meet the unique needs of the scoliosis population. The goals are to strengthen the surrounding muscles, support posture, and increase muscle tone

the Schroth walk

is a great dynamic exercise that challenges our scoliosis population in their corrections. Our clients often do this as a warm-up exercise during their physiotherapy sessions. 

things we look at during the Schroth walk:

• general lengthening 

• expansion of the ribcage 

• head position

• clavicle position

• shoulder girdle position

• pelvis position

• knee position

• foot and ankle position 

• spine correction 

reasons why we love the Schroth walk:

• Provides an opportunity to lengthen and actively decompress the spine

• Challenges the stability of the grounding leg

• Focuses on properly transferring the load to each limb

• Activates all areas of the body to participate 

• Gives permission to walk slowly, which is actually much harder
