Dr. Bawa is a NY State licensed Physical Therapist certified in the German Schroth Method, Barcelona BSPTS method and Italian SEAS method for treatment of Scoliosis. She provides a unique integrative approach tailored to the needs of each individual patient.
​
The Schroth™ method, BSPTS method and SEAS method for treatment of Scoliosis are effective and non-invasive methods used to decrease or halt curve progression and relieve pain. They are used in all stages of treatment: before surgery, after surgery, and especially if surgery is not indicated.

The Schroth™ based physical therapy is indicated for scoliosis, kyphosis, pre and post surgery. It is effective for all age groups.

It educates clients to position and exercise their body to mirror the scoliosis. The curve-specific exercises create 3-D forces in the spine. It incorporates principles of auto-elongation, isometric strengthening and corrective rotational breathing to:
Prevent or decrease curve progression
Increase trunk strength and flexibility
Enhance pulmonary function
Improve mobility and posture
Reduce pain

The treatment includes
Musculoskeletal evaluation
X-ray review and postural assessment
Scoliosis education for patients and families
Individualized exercise program, working one-on-one with a PT certified in Schroth™ based method
Customized home exercise program
Education about "dos and donts " in daily life in ADL's
Bracing consultation for scoliosis

SEAS is an acronym for "Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis". This is a conservative method for treatment of Scoliosis developed by ISICO (Istituto Scientifico Italiano Colonna Vertebrale, or Italian Spine Scientific Institute). The principles of SEAS are based on active self-correction that is taught individually to each single patient, and then associated with stabilizing exercises that include neuromotor control, proprioceptive training and balance.

AIM - The aim with SEAS exercises is to avoid or at least postpone bracing, and to arrive at the end of growth with a presumably stable curvature. When a brace has already been prescribed, exercises are mandatory in order to avoid all side effects of bracing, to increase its function, and to allow the spine to be stable during the weaning period and when the brace is abandoned. For adults, the AIM is to control the progression of the curve by integrating active self correction in functional activities.

Advantages of SEAS method:
1) No additional equipment needed for HEP(home exercise program).
2) The exercises need to be performed 15 minutes every day or 45 minutes two-three times a week.
3) The exercises are incorporated into daily living activities. SEAS approach is also characterized by a cognitive-behavioural approach towards the patient and his family to maximize compliance to treatment

Cervical Radiculopathy: A Pain in the Neck
Cervical radiculopathy is the medical term that doctors use to describe an abnormality in the function of a spinal nerve root in the neck.
The most common symptoms from this are neck pain and/or pain in the arm and hand. This pain can be excruciating. Sometimes it occurs along with muscle weakness and/or numbness and tingling in the arm and hand, but in actuality any of the three symptoms: pain, muscles weakness, or numbness can occur in isolation or in combination with any of the others. People may also complain of a loss of range of motion or an increase in their pain when they look upwards.

What Affects Scoliosis Surgery Recovery Time?

The duration of this recovery can vary, depending on the invasiveness of the techniques used, but generally speaking these are long recoveries that are measured on the order of months. Bone fusion can take from six months to a year, which means patients typically wait at least that long before returning to strenuous activities. Even so, most patients have returned to everyday activity by around a month or two. The following is an overview of several factors that can influence your particular recovery.
