Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine, with idiopathic scoliosis best caught between ages 8 and 14. Physiotherapy screens for it, refers for X-rays when needed, and runs a Schroth-based exercise plan of three-dimensional corrective movements and directed breathing to work toward better alignment.
A five-minute screening that needs no equipment. The child bends forward from the waist while we observe the spine from behind. A rib hump on one side tells us where the curve sits and how the trunk is rotating.
Three-dimensional corrective movements paired with directed breathing, taught and progressed over time. The goal is to work toward better alignment and trunk control, not a one-session fix.
If a pediatric orthopaedic specialist prescribes a brace, we adjust the exercise plan to work alongside it, so the bracing and the movement work do not pull against each other.
Physiotherapy screens for scoliosis and postural issues, runs a Schroth-based exercise plan of three-dimensional corrective movements with directed breathing, and adjusts that plan to work alongside a brace if one is prescribed. We monitor over the long term rather than promising a single correction.
Scoliosis is monitored jointly. We coordinate with a pediatric orthopaedic specialist for X-rays and curve monitoring, and if they prescribe a brace we adjust the exercise plan to work alongside it. The medical diagnosis and bracing decision stay with the orthopaedic doctor; we deliver the physiotherapy side and share notes.
How our care network worksIdiopathic scoliosis is best caught between ages 8 and 14, the window when the spine is growing fastest. A five-minute forward bend test is enough to flag whether an X-ray referral is worth it.
No. We screen with the Adam's forward bend test and, if the curve warrants it, refer to a pediatric orthopaedic specialist for X-rays and ongoing monitoring.
We do not promise that. Schroth-based exercises work toward better alignment and trunk control, and the plan is monitored long-term. If a brace is prescribed, the exercises are adjusted to work alongside it.
