AGES 10-19
Pre-Teen/Teenager Scoliosis
Average treatment takes 6–12 weekly sessions.
Stop the curve during the growth window.
Scoliosis can be frustrating for teens and their parents. Many feel there’s nothing they can do about it, or they’ve been told it’s “too late to brace.” The Schroth Method gives teens an active, non-surgical way to take charge of their curve.
What Treatment Looks Like
Teens learn breathing, body awareness, stretching, and strengthening exercises that build the muscles around the spine and ribcage, improving spinal muscle balance, mobility, and posture. We combine various approaches and techniques to help our kids manage their symptoms and curves while encouraging an active lifestyle. After learning the Schroth Method, many teens feel more confident about improving their own condition.
How Long It Takes
Most teens start with 6-12 weekly sessions to learn their program. Every curve is different, and even when reductions are achieved in that time, treatment needs to continue through the end of growth (skeletal maturity). Results can come quickly, but how much a curve improves depends on its location, size, how “stiff” it is, and more.
Before Your First Visit
An X-ray is not required for adolescents but is highly recommended. Please email your X-rays before your first appointment, or bring your imaging on a disc for upload to your chart. Read our FAQs about X-rays.
Younger Children (Under 10)
An early consultation can be valuable, even before active treatment is needed. For children in a wait-and-watch phase, we offer an initial consultation, in-person or virtual, followed by monthly or bimonthly check-ins, depending on the severity of the curve. Spacing out visits at the start keeps families informed and ready to act if anything changes. Pediatric PT can also be a good complement to the services we provide.
