Scoliosis treatment should be accompanied by a physiotherapist

Private Ümit Medical Center Physiotherapist Sevinç Davut informed about the Schroth method used in the treatment of scoliosis.

Davut, Scoliosis is a spinal deformity that results in the spine bending sideways and rotating around its own axis. In the treatment of scoliosis, the SCHROTH method, which has proven its effectiveness worldwide, is used.

The Schroth method is one of the world-proven methods used in the treatment of scoliosis. Schroth; It is a method that we model with correct positioning and breathing exercises planned according to the person's own curvature condition and degree.”

Why schroth method

Explaining why Schroth method and not classical exercises, Sevinç Davut said, “The curvature in scoliosis is 3-dimensional and therefore the correction should be planned with 3-dimensional exercises. Since classical exercises are 2-dimensional, their effectiveness in the treatment of scoliosis is very low.”

Giving information about what is done in the Schroth method, Mon. Sevinç Davut said, “Correct positioning and breathing techniques, exercises specific to each person's spine are planned according to the type and degree of curvature.

In order to understand whether the person has scoliosis; By looking at the shoulder and hip inequalities of the person, it is checked whether one of the shoulder blades is inside and the other outside, one of our waist hollows is more inside and one is smoother, and thus it is understood whether there is scoliosis.”

Schroth trainees should be preferred

Stating that treatment should be planned with a physiotherapist trained in Schroth, Mon. Davut continued his words as follows:

“In children, it is aimed to reduce or stop or correct this curvature with the necessary exercises before the growth age is completed, while in adults; correct posture, pain management and increasing functionality are aimed. Instead of doing the scoliosis exercises we see on social media, it is more functional to use specific exercise methods according to one's own curvature. For this reason, the scoliosis treatment of individuals should be determined by specialist physicians and should be carried out in the presence of physiotherapists.”
