Hi, hope you're well. My daughter is about to brace and do some Scroth exercises. Does the brace not weaken the muscle? Should she do any other exercises like pilates etc. to counter that?
Schroth should teach her how to take on an active posture in the brace and not just be flaccid within it. She is welcome to do other exercises, but Schroth should also include trunk strengthening exercises, which should be sufficient to prevent atrophy
