• Schroth therapy is one of the most researched exercise protocols among non-surgical approaches for scoliosis. It is recognised by the Scoliosis Research Society.
• According to the Columbia Spine Center, the Schroth method stands out in scoliosis treatment with its individualised, three-dimensional approach.

What Is Schroth Therapy?

Schroth therapy is a breathing-based, three-dimensional exercise method designed to address spinal curvatures. In individuals with scoliosis or postural disorders, it supports spinal alignment and restores muscle balance. Programmes are delivered by Physiotherapist Selin Atalay, an ISST (International Schroth Scoliosis Treatment School) certified physiotherapist, and are tailored to each patient’s age group and curve pattern.

This method is a safe, evidence-based option — particularly within non-surgical scoliosis management in Istanbul. During sessions, Rotational Angular Breathing (RAB), muscle symmetry and postural awareness are taught and integrated into daily life. The programme content is shaped by the patient’s age, postural needs and clinical assessment findings.

Assessment Process with 3D Posture Analysis

The first and most critical step is a comprehensive 3D Posture Analysis. Using the Physio AI system and IMU sensors, Physiotherapist Selin Atalay measures the degree of the curve, rotation and postural asymmetries with millimetre-level accuracy. Based on this objective data, an individualised treatment plan is created — usually consisting of 10–20 one-to-one sessions of approximately 50–60 minutes each.

Throughout treatment, craniosacral osteopathy and neuromotor control techniques are used alongside Schroth exercises to support spinal mobility and nervous system balance. A home exercise protocol reinforces progress between sessions.

Benefits of Schroth Therapy

• Helps slow the progression of spinal curvatures
• Corrects postural disorders and improves shoulder and pelvic symmetry
• Increases breathing capacity and rib cage mobility
• Improves postural awareness in daily life
• Balances muscle strength and flexibility

When Schroth therapy is combined with manual therapy and osteopathy, the effects on spinal mobility and posture correction are enhanced — patients achieve more pain-free and balanced movement.

Clinical Application Steps

Programmes generally consist of 10–20 individual sessions, each lasting approximately 50–60 minutes. The initial assessment identifies the degree of scoliosis, postural asymmetries and muscle imbalances. An individualised treatment plan is then created based on these findings.

Techniques are adapted for children, adolescents and adults — Schroth therapy can be safely applied at any age. The process is supported with home exercise protocols so that patients continue to progress outside the clinic.

Who Is Schroth Therapy Suitable For?

• Individuals with Scoliosis — Supports natural spinal alignment and helps slow the progression of the curve, personalised to the curvature direction and patient profile.
• Kyphosis and Postural Disorders — Addresses rounded shoulders, forward head posture and postural imbalances. Craniosacral osteopathy can complement the programme where needed.
• Children (aged 10+), Adolescents and Adults — Different Schroth strategies are applied by age group and clinical need.
• Those Seeking Combined Physiotherapy and Manual Therapy — For patients with scoliosis-related pain and movement restriction, a comprehensive combined plan is available.

Our Holistic Approach to Scoliosis

3D Analysis with Physiotherapist Selin Atalay

Scoliosis management at our clinic goes beyond exercise instruction — assessment, follow-up and data are central to the process. Physiotherapist Selin Atalay uses clinical observation alongside Physio AI-supported 3D analysis to evaluate postural asymmetry, trunk rotation and movement control more systematically.

• ISST-Certified Expertise: Treatment is led by Physiotherapist Selin Atalay, who holds ISST-Schroth certification and specialises in scoliosis rehabilitation.
• Measurement of Rotation: Spinal rotation — the most challenging component of scoliosis — is assessed and Schroth exercises are precisely adjusted accordingly.
• Postural Asymmetry Detection: Shoulder, pelvic and rib cage asymmetries are accurately identified through 3D analysis, allowing ISST-Schroth Therapy to be applied in a more targeted way.
• Objective Follow-Up: Progress is tracked not only visually, but through objective 3D data — particularly critical for adolescents with scoliosis.
• Multifaceted Support: Schroth exercises are supported with craniosacral osteopathy and manual therapy where clinically appropriate.
