Exercise Effects on Fascia, Low Back Pain, and Function in Scoliosis
Sponsor: Hacettepe University
Summary
The use of various muscle energy techniques to address fascial restrictions, in addition to three-dimensional correction within scoliosis-specific exercise approaches, suggests that these exercises may have different effects on thoracolumbar fascia thickness. This may, in turn, lead to varying impacts on low back pain and functional improvement. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of different scoliosis-specific exercise approaches on thoracolumbar fascia thickness, low back pain, and function in individuals with idiopathic lumbar scoliosis and chronic low back pain.

Interventions
Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis (SEAS) Exercises
Participants in the SEAS group will receive one supervised 60-minute clinical session per week for 8 weeks, combined with a 40-minute home exercise program performed 6 days per week according to the SEAS protocol.
Functional Individual Therapy of Scoliosis Exercises
Participants in the FITS group will receive one supervised 60-minute clinical session per week for 8 weeks, along with a 40-minute home exercise program performed 6 days per week following the FITS method.
