Pre & Post-Scoliosis Surgery
Go into surgery stronger. Come out of it moving well.
The Schroth Method is appropriate for those heading into surgery and those returning from surgery.
1 out of 100 children will require surgery to arrest and correct their scoliosis. We view scoliosis surgery as a life-altering gift for those who need it, as historically, children with progressive, large curves would eventually become chair- and bedridden due to respiratory distress and muscle weakness.
Prehabilitation begins weeks or months before a planned scoliosis surgery. The goals of “Prehab” are to teach the muscular system to support future bone restructuring and hardware, to improve the alignment and balance of the trunk, and to promote effective, symmetrical respiration into the lungs.
Once cleared by your physician, starting the Schroth Method post-surgically helps rebuild trunk muscles that may have atrophied during scoliosis progression or prolonged recovery. We believe that spine surgery should only happen once in one’s lifetime, so taking good care of your new straight spine and ensuring the hardware lasts requires effort.
The Schroth Method creates a balanced trunk, improves spinal stability, ensures proper respiration mechanics, and even alleviates pain and symptoms.
We take extra special care of our post-surgical patients, protecting any vulnerable areas of the spine (typically the vertebra and joints directly above and below the spinal fusion or VBT).
We also believe that a full return to activities and function is possible and recommended, and we strive to help patients build both strength and confidence to do so.

Building Strength After Scoliosis Surgery
After scoliosis surgery, including spinal fusion and VBT, patients can continue building strength, practicing Schroth-based corrections, and gaining confidence as they progress into more challenging exercises.
