Scoliosis can affect not only appearance — with uneven shoulders, a visible rib hump, or tilted hips — but also cause pain, limited mobility, and reduced quality of life at any age, from children to older adults. Without proper care, the condition may worsen over time. Today, there are various treatments for scoliosis, but choosing an evidence-based, safe, and effective method that minimizes the risk of surgery is crucial.
How We Treat Scoliosis
At Kanya Physical Therapy Clinic, our scoliosis treatment program is designed for patients of all ages and is led by physical therapists certified in scoliosis-specific rehabilitation by internationally recognized institutions.
Treatment starts with a detailed assessment to develop a personalized care plan. Our therapists use PSSE (Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises) — exercises designed specifically for scoliosis, such as the Schroth method, which is supported by strong scientific evidence and widely accepted worldwide.
Benefits of PSSE for Scoliosis
- Improves or Maintains Curve Progression Research published in the European Spine Journal (Negrini et al., 2015) found that patients who received PSSE showed significant improvement in spinal curvature compared to untreated control groups. Another study in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science (Monticone et al., 2016) found PSSE helps slow or prevent curve progression, especially in moderate scoliosis.
- Reduces Pain Physical therapy exercises can help reduce discomfort and back pain related to scoliosis. Multiple studies confirm that patients treated with PSSE experience significant pain relief.
- Improves Posture and Body Alignment PSSE helps patients achieve better posture and balanced alignment, which boosts confidence and daily comfort.
- Lowers the Risk of Surgery In many cases, PSSE can delay or prevent the need for surgery. Research in the Spine Deformity Journal (Romano et al., 2013) found that patients undergoing PSSE had a lower risk of requiring surgical intervention.
