SCHROTH exercises, according to Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School [BSPTS] in Spain, are designed to train the patient to self-correct the tendency towards scoliosis at all levels and, after having achieved the spine expansion, to apply the rotational angular breathing, using special techniques, that will extend the compressed parts of the spine.
 
Final goal is to train the patient to maintain actively those improvements in everyday life.
 
The method is applied either as exclusive treatment to mild scoliosis below 25 degrees or to adults.
 

It is also applied in combination with the corset in child growth or following surgery.
 
The kinesiotherapy program is CUSTOMIZED and offered ONLY by certified and well-trained physiotherapist who is present and trains the patient throughout the session.
 
The international scientific societies (regarding research on scoliosis), Scoliosis Research Society (CRS) and Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic & Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT), rank this method among the most efficient for the treatment of scoliosis using individualized exercised which are customized on all types of scoliosis.
