ABOUT Schroth Exercises

Schroth exercises are scoliosis-specific asymmetric exercises, performed in all three planes of the body. The so-called "rotational breathing", that consists of a combination of abdominal and costosternal breathing is encouraged during the exercise ex*****on. Every movement is dictated by the three dimensional rotational breathing. In prone or supine - special bean bags are positioned under the prominent and asymmetric gibbosities to assure the proper muscle activation, providing a constant localized pressure. Proper ex*****on of exercises provides maximum stretching and strengthening of the aimed musculature in all three planes of the body. Dear all, since many of you were asking for a certified Schroth therapist, I thought it would a good idea to put all the names together at one site. Here are the lists of certified Schroth therapists:
