The Definitive Handbook
on Schroth Exercises
Written by Christa Lehnert-Schroth, P.T. this book includes:
- Over 100 scoliosis exercises – with photos
- Treatments for 3, as well as 4-curve configurations, which the author discovered, and which are actually more common than many doctors realize
- Exercises for Scheuermann’s kyphosis, flatback, hollow-back syndrome (hyperlordosis), lumbar kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, and related pathologies
"Even after years as a Schroth method practitioner, I’m still amazed how patients who suffered pain for years find relief within a few intensive sessions, and nearly all eventually become pain-free.”
80% of Patients Reduced or Eliminated Their Pain in a Schroth program
In 1989, 311 scoliosis patients 12 – 69 years old with an average Cobb angle of 50.5 degrees filled out pain questionnaires at the beginning and end of their treatment programs at the Katharina Schroth Klinik. They were asked to rate their pain on a scale of 0 – 5
(0 = no pain, 1 = low, 2 = moderate, 3 = rather intense, 4 = very intense, 5 = scarcely bearable).
Before treatment, 60% reported pain ranging from 3 – 5 (average rating was 2.7)
- 80% of them rated their pain between 0 – 2 (Average rating dropped to 1.1).
- 43.7% received TOTAL pain relief from the program
