Interventions
Schroth treatment
The exercise program targets three-dimensional spinal correction and includes Schroth breathing for rib cage expansion, pelvic tilts for pelvic alignment, side-shift exercises for lateral correction, rotational angular breathing for derotation, seated rotational stretches for lumbar flexibility, trunk elongation with resistance for postural strength, hanging stretches for spinal decompression, and arm-leg lifts to enhance core stability and coordination.
Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis (SEAS)
The SEAS exercise program emphasizes active self-correction, core stability, and postural control during functional movements. Key exercises include pelvic tilts, seated forward bends, standing side bends, supine marching, bird-dog, heel slides, chest openers, and supine knee-to-chest stretches, all performed with self-correction to maintain neutral spinal alignment, improve muscular control, flexibility, and long-term postural stability.
