İçindekiler
- Schroth therapy is one of the most researched exercise protocols among non-surgical methods for scoliosis. It is also defined by the Scoliosis Research Society.
- According to the Columbia Spine Center, the Schroth method stands out in scoliosis treatment with its individualized and three-dimensional approach.
🩺 What Is Schroth Therapy?
Schroth therapy is a set of breathing-based, specific exercises that aims to correct spinal curvatures in three dimensions. In individuals with scoliosis or postural disorders, it supports spinal alignment and restores muscle balance. At our clinic in the Ulus and Etiler regions, programmes are delivered by Physiotherapist Selin Atalay, an ISST (International Schroth Scoliosis Treatment School) certified physiotherapist, tailored to each age group and curve pattern.
This method is a safe, evidence-based and effective option, especially within non-surgical scoliosis treatment in Istanbul. During the exercises, correct breathing techniques (Rotational Angular Breathing), muscle symmetry and posture awareness are taught and integrated in a lasting way.
Clinical Application Process with 3D Posture Analysis
The first and most critical step of treatment is a 3D Posture Analysis. Using the Physio AI system and specific sensors, Physiotherapist Selin Atalay measures the degree of the curve, rotation and postural asymmetries in your spine with millimetre-level accuracy. Based on this objective data analysis, an individual treatment plan is created, usually consisting of 10–20 one-on-one sessions. Each session lasts approximately 50–60 minutes.
Throughout the treatment process, craniosacral osteopathy and neuromotor control techniques are used to support spinal mobility and the nervous system. The process is reinforced with home exercise protocols so that patients continue to make progress outside the clinic as well.
🧍♀️ Benefits of Schroth Therapy in Etiler
- Slows down the progression of spinal curvatures
- Corrects postural disorders and improves shoulder and pelvic symmetry
- Increases breathing capacity and rib cage mobility
- Improves posture awareness in everyday 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. In this way, patients achieve more pain-free and balanced use of their bodies.
👩⚕️ Clinical Application Steps
Programmes usually consist of 10–20 individual sessions, each lasting approximately 50–60 minutes. During the initial assessment, scoliosis degree, posture analysis and muscle imbalances are identified. Based on this analysis, an individualized treatment plan is created.
Techniques differ for children, adolescents and adults; however, Schroth therapy can be safely applied at all ages.
The process is supported with home exercise protocols so that patients can continue to progress outside of the clinic as well.
Who Is Schroth Therapy Suitable For?
- Individuals with Scoliosis (Spinal Curvature) – Helps support the natural alignment of the spine and slow the progression of scoliosis.
- Individuals with Kyphosis and Postural Disorders – Corrects rounded shoulders, hunching and postural imbalances.
- Children, Adolescents and Adults – In growing children, it helps prevent scoliosis progression; in adults, it supports spinal health and posture.

📊 The Difference of 3D Analysis with Physiotherapist Selin Atalay
At our clinic, scoliosis treatment in Ulus and Etiler is not limited to exercises; the key is to manage treatment through scientific data. In scoliosis treatment in Istanbul, Physiotherapist Selin Atalay goes beyond traditional physiotherapy approaches by using Physio AI and sensor technology, which are rarely used in routine practice.
- Measurement of Rotation: The most challenging aspect of scoliosis, spinal rotation, is measured in millimetres, and Schroth exercises are precisely adjusted according to this rotation.
- Detection of Postural Asymmetry: Through 3D analysis, shoulder, pelvic and rib cage asymmetries are accurately identified, allowing ISST-Schroth Therapy to be applied in a more targeted manner.
- Objective Follow-Up: Whether the treatment is progressing or not is demonstrated not only visually, but also with objective 3D data. This is particularly critical for adolescents with scoliosis.
