Thank you so much Dave for your great explanations. I am from Germany and I learned the Schroth-Method for my scoliosis here in Germany with Mrs Lehnert- Schroth herself. I am so happy it becomes so popular all over the world, because Schroth-exercises really help. I am practicing since decades!
EXCELLENT, thank you!! I have an S curve - about 48 degrees right thoracic & left lumbar and it's SO CONFUSING - even after living with it for so many years (I'm 65).
Thank you so much Dave. That was quality explanation.I have never seen a therapist like this before. Even though the body type of the model looks similar to mine. So that it was easier to get it :) Can you make a video about how Hypokyphosis can be treated with The Schroth Method? Thank you again!
You explain things so well in all your videos. Thank you. The breathing exercises are becoming more intuitive for my right thoracic curve. How can we correct the compensatory lumbar curve? For me, it goes to the left.
Thanks for reaching out! The trick with the compensatory curve is to control the main curve while doing similar corrections in the lumbar. Most of the time I only will work in one plane at first so we don't see compensation. I would recommend working with a trained therapist to learn this though.
Great question! That one is a little more complex and I have not done a video with it yet. It is something that is hard for most patients to understand and mainly with Schroth it is designed to just not make the hypokyphosis worse. We will do one in the future! Thanks for the suggestion
@@AlignTherapyUtah Thank you SO much for replying x I actually had a Scoliosis client ( I teach Pilates ) this morning whose spine through T2 - T6 is slightly indented ( goes in ) rather than being Kyphotic - would that be a Lordosis of the Thoracic spine? I am not sure if there is anything that is contraindicated for that condition? Scoliosis is definitely the hardest pathology to deal with.
Thanks for sharing. However, I'm a little confused on breathing instructions you gave her. Are you having her breath IN more on the her back left lung (concave side), and breath OUT on her front right chest(rib hump side)?
Thanks for the question! Don't think of it as breathing in one lung more than the other. That isn't really possible. She needed to breathe outward and backward on the left (concave) and forward on the right. This corrects for the rotation. Thanks!
Te agradecería toda una vida si explicaras todo el método schroth en español. Si puedes conseguir alguien que te ayude a la traducción para hacer el video en español sería genia!
What are your thoughts regarding the use of one side heel lifts while walking/standing and the use of wedge pillows on one side only when sitting in the office chair if it helps align the trunk shift centered directly above the pelvis like what you are trying to do with this patient here?
I like correcting a leg length if it is actually there. As far as a wedge with sitting...that is more a passive correction, which I dont use as much as active correction.
I dont have a leg length discrepancy but do have my right illiac crest slightly higher than my left and have my right calf muscle bigger than my left Due to right thoracic Structural scoliosis. Why not for sitting on only one side with a wedge pillow? I have a right thoracic scoliosis as my trunk is shifted to the right. My torso is more balanced and centered when I sit with a wedge pillow on my right butt decreasing the effect of uneven muscle strain and fatigue.
Instead of showing someone performing this breathing technique, why don't you explain HOW to do it. You say it takes practice, but you need to know HOW.
Use your mind to direct the breath by focusing on where you want it to go. I can't explain the mechanics of what happens. Possibly your focus is causing certain muscles to tighten on one side and that causes more breath to go into the other side. I'm a yoga practioner and this is the way I unerstand it.

Get with a Schroth Therapist! They can help you understand it better. That is the key.
Thank you that was a wonderful explanation. Especially the rotation part.
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the feedback! That is a great idea to do one about hypokyphosis. That is quite a bit more complex, but we will work on it. Thanks again.

These two videos are great thank you x have you done a video on working in the sagittal plane ( hypokyphosis) ?

Thank you for fantastic videos, just hoping to start this method and also learn as much as poss from your videos
Best of luck!

I would love to translate these into Spanish. I just need to get this channel to the point where I can justify it. Thanks for the suggestion!

You're most welcome
I have exactly same scoliosis, and body composition like her. But im almost 30 yo. Its going to be really hard for me to fix something
@@mariiaro9216 keep working at it. It can definitely get better!

Sorry, I wish I knew of one

@@EstherYael1984but wouldn’t that contradict the statement that we don’t have muscles that can control the spine curvature?
