The Schroth method has helped people with scoliosis for nearly 100 years. Scoliosis treatments vary based on each person's curve. The purpose of the Schroth method is to reduce pain and help improve mobility.

Katharina Schroth developed this non-surgical scoliosis treatment in Germany in the 1930s. It's a form of PT for both children and adults diagnosed with scoliosis.

It consists of specific exercises that help stretch and strengthen the musculature along the spine.
