If any of these sound familiar
If you experience these symptoms, your condition may be manageable with physiotherapy.
- If you have been diagnosed with scoliosis (spinal curvature) by a physician
- If you notice that your shoulder levels are unequal
- If you see a hump on one side of your back when bending forward
- If one side of your hip stands higher
- If you observe asymmetry in your child's posture
- If you are using a brace by physician recommendation due to scoliosis
Scoliosis is a complex three-dimensional condition characterized not only by the spine curving to the right or left, but also rotating around its own axis. In Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis cases diagnosed by a physician, the most effective conservative exercise approach backed by evidence (SOSORT guidelines) is the Schroth concept.
The Schroth method aims to manage asymmetric spine posture with specific asymmetric breathing techniques (Rotational Angular Breathing) and 3D corrective exercises. Once the client's curvature pattern is determined via physician X-ray, the brain is taught to relearn correct posture (postural awareness).
The primary purpose of this intensive exercise program applied in our clinic is to help stop the progression of the curvature under physician monitoring, support the spine with muscle strength, and improve overall posture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Soruların cevabı yukarıda yoksa bize doğrudan yazın.
Schroth exercises started with physician approval, especially in growing children (while bone growth continues), can largely control the progression of the curvature, and postural improvements can be observed. In adults, the goal is pain control and improving posture asymmetry.
If you notice asymmetry (hump) on one side of your child's back when they bend forward, if their shoulder levels are unequal, or if one side of the hip stands higher, you should consult an Orthopedic specialist physician.
Absolutely. A brace alone can make muscles passive. The Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) recommends that individuals using a brace by physician recommendation support their muscles with 3D Schroth exercises to prevent weakness.
