Senior/Post Menopause Scoliosis
Average treatment takes 8–12 weekly sessions.
Build strength and protect bone density.
Scoliosis in later life takes two paths. Some people were diagnosed as kids and are now ready to be proactive. Others develop scoliosis as adults. Either way, we build your care around what matters to you, whether that’s pain, changes in posture, protecting your strength and bone health, or staying confident in the activities you love.
Diagnosed Young, Ready to Act Now
Many adults were diagnosed as teens, told to watch and wait, and went years without treatment. If you’re now noticing pain, changes in posture, or a loss of height, or you simply want to stay active for the long term, it’s not too late to start. The Schroth Method gives you the tools to manage your curve, and we add other approaches as needed.
When Scoliosis Develops Later in Life
If it isn’t caused by a traumatic injury, adult-onset scoliosis is usually the result of disc degeneration and/or diminished bone density and muscle strength. In women, it is often tied to the hormonal changes during and after menopause, which can bring a decrease in height, changes in posture, and pain. Staying active helps limit the effects of scoliosis, including pain, muscle imbalances, spinal fatigue, and postural concerns.

What to Expect
