How can Physical Therapy exercises and treatment help with scoliosis?
The basis for physical therapy intervention for scoliosis is the vicious cycle theory (see Question 2 above). Our specially trained staff knows how to assess and classify curve patterns and teach individuals how to proactively impact the vicious cycle by doing curve-specific scoliosis exercises designed to decrease the influences of gravity and uneven muscle pull. As a person begins to understand the corrected alignment, he or she will perform strengthening and breathing exercises in a specific corrected position. The scoliosis exercises require frequent repetition throughout one’s lifetime, in order to “reprogram” the body in the more symmetrical posture. The goal of physical therapy treatment for scoliosis is to develop the ability to incorporate these corrections into daily activities at home, school and work.
