Exercises are selected based on the patient’s specific curve pattern, severity of the deformity, age, and overall level of function and fitness. They are designed to improve postural awareness and alignment through targeted positioning and repeated practice. Patients are guided into specific corrective positions that help promote expansion of collapsed or underdeveloped areas of the trunk, particularly in the chest and back. In many individuals with scoliosis, the spine’s three-dimensional curvature can lead to asymmetries such as a flattened back, rib prominence, and pelvic or lumbar imbalances. The goal of treatment is to improve spinal symmetry by addressing these imbalances, enhancing trunk expansion, supporting pelvic alignment, and reducing areas of trunk prominence. As patients learn their specific curve pattern and correction principles, they are guided through different positions that apply the same core concepts. This creates a clear, consistent program that becomes easier to follow and integrate into daily practice.
Axial elongation to encourage active spinal lengthening Asymmetric sagittal plane correction to improve spinal alignment from side view Frontal plane correction to reduce lateral curvature and imbalance Rotational breathing to expand collapsed areas of the trunk and rib cage Muscle activation to strengthen deep postural and stabilizing muscles
