The aim of the Schroth-method is to straighten the spine with maximum active stretching, to rotate the torso back to the centre with 3-dimensional rotary breathing and to strengthen and stretch the muscles while maintaining the corrected body position.
The 3-dimensional scoliosis method was developed by Katharina Schroth in the early 1900’s. She experimented on her own spine with how she can correct her scoliosis and rib hump, she was trying to straighten her scoliosis with her breathing and muscle contractions. The aim of the Schroth-method is to straighten the spine with maximum active stretching, to rotate the torso back to the centre with 3-dimensional rotary breathing, and to strengthen and stretch the muscles while maintaining the corrected body position. The therapy for scoliosis is always personalised as there are no alike spines and no alike scoliosis!
We achieve the 3-dimensional correction by body positions adapted to curvatures, various tools, intentional stretching, contraction of adequate muscles and guided rotary breathing technique.
