History of the Schroth Method for Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a well-known spinal condition which results in an abnormal, often lateral, curvature of the spine. While most cases of the issue are reported among children and teens, adults can also experience scoliosis, later in their lives. Fortunately, non-surgical procedures, such as the Schroth method of exercises for scoliosis, were created to correct this spinal condition, improving the lives of many affected with scoliosis.

Katharina Schroth (1894-1985) developed the Schroth Method, based on her personal experience with spinal issues as a teenager. When Katharina was told she had scoliosis and would require surgery the system originated. Unwilling to possess surgery, she instantly began to formulate a way to place scoliosis in check plus it became her life’s work. She dedicated countless hours attempting different corrections of her curve and detected certain positions, movements and breathing techniques which made her own torso deformity clear.

Trained as a teacher, Ms. Schroth began sharing her techniques with patients in the 1920’s and finally created her own clinic in Germany. The Schroth Approach was established in Germany in 1921, by Katharina Schroth. This curve design particular scoliosis technique was refined through the years by the creator’s daughter, physical therapist Christa Lehnert-Schroth PT, and grandson and orthopedic doctor, Dr. Hans-Rudolf Weiss, at the inpatient practice bearing the name of Katharina Schroth set in Germany’s Rhineland. Her daughter, Christa Lehnert-Schroth P.T. immensely helped her further develop the theory underlying the Schroth Method. Katharina’s grandson, Dr. Hans-Rudolph Weiss, MD has continued the tradition by developing his own unique program called Scoliologic in Germany.

The Schroth Method Today

The Schroth Method continues to be practiced in Germany since then, and it is only in the last few years that the Schroth Method has spread all around the world as wait and scoliosis patients search for options to observe , bracing, and surgery for scoliosis treatment. The Schroth family has authored publications, created numerous posts, and taught others on these nonsurgical techniques. Although possessed by the Schroth family today, over one thousand patients are treated annually at Asklepios Katharina-Schroth Klinic in Germany and there’s frequently a several month long waiting list.

Clinical research shows that the approach can reduce spinal curvatures. Surely, the success also depends upon the commitment of the patients. Schroth exercises could be broadly divided into two types. They are the old in patient Schroth Intensive Rehabilitation along with the more recent outpatient Schroth Best Practice. The latter essentially consists of exercises to enhance corrective exercises the sagittal spinal curves and adoption of appropriate corrective bearings during daily actions.

The physiologic exercises aim at preserving the natural lumbar lordosis in sitting and standing positions.
Corrective exercises are scoliosis special exercises. They differ together with the curvature sorts. Rotational breathing is incorporated to the treatment, to improve the vertebral rotation.

Although there are many other popular forms of treatments available for scoliosis, including surgical interventions, the Schroth method has been recognized by many healthcare professionals and researchers due to their effectiveness in treating the spinal condition in children, teens and even adults. Be sure to consult a qualified and experienced healthcare specialist regarding the best treatment method for scoliosis and/or seek a doctor/physician who has knowledge on the specific exercises of the Schroth method for scoliosis treatment.

Additional Topics: Lower Back Pain After Auto Injury

After being involved in an automobile accident, neck injuries and aggravated conditions, such as whiplash, are some of the most commonly reported types of injuries, due to the force of the impact. A study discovered, however, that the seat of a vehicle can often lead to injuries as well, causing lower back pain and other symptoms. Lower back pain is also among one of the most common types of automobile accident injuries in the U.S. alone.
