Exercise and physical activity increase your body’s natural resilience and help you meet the unexpected challenges of daily life. Building your balance allows you to recover from a loss of balance and prevent a fall. Building and maintaining mobility improves your ability to reach, bend and turn. Improving your posture allows your spine to attenuate the forces applied during daily activities more effectively.

Small Group Schroth supports our patients with scoliosis in maintaining the progress gained in physical therapy through stretching, strengthening and postural exercises that incorporate Schroth principles. Participants find the small group setting is perfect for a postural reset and helps alleviate scoliosis-related symptoms.
Class is open to any current patient or any patient who has been seen in the past 12 months. Participants must be confident with their curve corrections as technical modifications will be limited and instruction will focus on general exercise form. If you have not been seen in the past 12 months or have any questions about curve corrections, please schedule an appointment with your therapist to be recommended for participation. Participants must also have adequate balance for safe participation without assistance or close supervision.
Equipment: Yoga mat, yoga block or stool, resistance bands, Schroth poles, chair
