Brief summary: The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of Schroth exercises and Pilates exercises in patients with scoliosis.

Detailed description: The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial. The randomization process will be done as block randomization using the random interval command in Microsoft Excel. The participants to be included in the study will be selected from the clients receiving consultancy services at the Mehmet Gümüş (MG) Clinic Physiotherapy and Wellness Center. 50 individuals diagnosed with scoliosis who applied with a postural disorder complaint will be included in the study. The individuals will be randomly divided into 2 equal groups. The rehabilitation program of the 25 individuals in the first group will be planned as 3-dimensional corrective scoliosis exercises. The program of the 25 individuals in the second group will be applied as pilates scoliosis exercises. After the initial evaluations explained to the individuals included in the study are made, an exercise program of a total of 36 sessions, each lasting approximately 50 minutes, will be applied by experienced physiotherapists who have received 3-dimensional exercise method training and pilates training specific to scoliosis, 3 days a week for 12 weeks.
