How do we use the Schroth Method with Kyphosis?

- The Schroth Method is normally associated with scoliosis treatment, but it is also a great way to treat Kyphosis! Actually, I think kyphosis even responds better to Schroth training than scoliosis and this conservative treatment should be provided more often.
Please DO NOT just do these at home! Every Kyphosis patient is different, and you should be assessed and then instructed by a Schroth trained Physical Therapist!

Scheuermann's kyphosis responds very well and can help to stop and even reverse progression of the curve. This helps to reduce tension and pain and improve posture and the look of the spine.
You can see more information on Kyphosis treatment by going to our website at aligntherapyutah.com/kyphosis/
This is very helpful. Coincidentally, my son started with you folks this past week so 'bumping' into this video was fortuitous.
Awesome! Glad to have you guys as a part of the family. :)
Very good explanation. I am a physical therapist too. I use This in my therapy for khyposis.
Awesome
Hi,
Could you do a video on hypokyphosis and if Schroth can help this? There is very little info on loss of thoracic curves. I have it, and have gone into a swayback posture (hips forward, upper body tilting backwards. I have mild scoliosis so the ortho doctor dismissed me. But the loss in curves causes pain, strain and fatigue, muscle imbalance, not just the rotation.
That is a great idea!
Does hanging from a bar help w elongation for kyphosis? I realize the limitation would be the grip strength, but curious if it would help.
Yes it would in the right way
Easier said than done? And that sounded pretty complex. I start PT next week for my Kyphosis. Wish me luck!
Good Luck!
Question: at 3:10 you mention "pulling the ribs away from the pelvis." By this do you mean we want a sort of anterior tilt of the ribcage?
No, just elongation upward with a neutral pelvis.
Sir please if you can create a vedio about a program that we can follow people with scoliosis and kyphosis....what can we do as exercices during the days of the week? For instance،saturday breathing.....sunday sterteches....monday strenghthening....ect
Thank you for the suggestion. I will see what we can do.
I have been in PT for my scoliosis for many months and not one PT had ever address my breathing as part of my therapy. I t is very hard to find a PT that actually specialize in scoliosis. they will work with a person but never really explain. My confidence in during my home excercising is very low. So I tend to not do them. I don't know if I am doing the excercise correct. Thank you for your videos. I will share this with my PT and Chiropractor.
Find someone who does the Schroth Method
Would you be able to recommend any good treatment places in Orlando, FL ? Thanks
Look up BSPTS website
Any hope for a 48yo with Schuermann's? I'm willing to put in a lot of time with exercises if it can reverse any of this curve.
We have good results with adults. It takes some work but it is the most effective thing out there in my opinion.
Please..I am from Egypt..
I had a deformation of thoracic vertebra..it is rounded instead of straight..and caused kyphosis for 10 years now..can this method suits me to treat kyphosis??I wish you answer me
Yes, it can help. I see patients like that all the time.
Can this method be used to decrease curvature in adults? Or is this primarily to decrease curvature in adolescents who are still growing? The research I've seen shows a larger study with a younger population.
It is more researched in kids but the results in adults are great as well. Pain reduction is the biggest benefit but I have seen reduction as well.
I am an avid gym goer. Do pull ups and hang from the bar. Also do dead-lifts, lifting more than my body weight, bench press and bent over rows 27.5 kilos. I practice the breathing method you talk about. I have Scheuermann's. Do you have any suggestions for my gym workouts? I do barbell squats and worry about whether it may impact my spine negatively. Also as an older person over 60, do you think Schroth method would be useful? Appreciate your video.
Yes, I think the Schroth Method would be great for you. As far as specific exercises go, I would suggest getting evaluated to tailor exercises specific to you. Thanks!
Hey, I want to know how long we have to do a workout routine to fix it properly
In the event of moderate kyphosis
And can you give me a suggestion about a program (number of exercises per session / session length / how many times per week) and thank you in advance
Really to do these exercises correctly you would need to be trained specifically by a Schroth Therapist. Once you are trained, this is to be done 5 days a week for 20-30 minutes a day.
@@davidbutler9943 thank you so much for the explanation ,i appreciate it very much.
It is pretty individual. Get with a Schroth therapist.
I have that and need some treatment. I live in Oklahoma City and not sure if you are in this area. "I'm a COTA/fitness Trainer.. AJ
We are in Utah. I would suggest finding a good Scbroth therapist to work with.
Is there a website to locate therapists doing this technique?

I haven't found any Schroth Method-trained PTs in my area and I was wondering if this is something that could be managed via Telehealth?
You are welcome to contact us and we can see what we can do. The only probelm is we don't have licenses in other states than Utah.
I am in my 30s and have a 55-60 degree cobb angle in my thoracic spine with ~5 wedged vertebrae, anterior bone spurs and Smorl's nodes. I practice yoga and/or martial arts every day. I have tried many exercises for kyphosis and traction, but I am not satisfied with the results. When I sit up straight I feel an uncomfortable compression in my right ribcage near my spine, where the bottom of the thoracic spine meets the upper lumbar. I would like to try Schroth method to improve this, but I live in Japan and can not find it here. Can you help?
Schroth really should be done in person. I have done some through telehealth but the problem is I am not licensed in Japan.
I appreciate your reply. I will keep searching for someone. Do you think it is possible to get the a Scheuermann's cobb angle from ~60 degrees to ~50 degrees after a few years of Schroth method?
@@judochemistry I think that is definitely a possibility with some work.
Thanks again. I hope you can help a lot more people improve this kind of challenge.
@@judochemistry thanks for responding. Let me know how it goes.
Hello, I was wondering if you know how I could find a Schroth Therapist in Rhode Island? Also, I’ve read that dead hangs could be beneficial for elongating the spine with kyphosis. Do inversion tables provide the same results as a dead hang? Thanks.
Look up the Schroth Barcelona Institute's website. Inversion tables dont do as much as a hang. The hang teaches the body how to relax and breathe but the inversion table is too passive.
And i am very depress from sechuremen khyposis
Sorry to hear that
I have 52º Cobb in a structured hyperkyphosis, would I need to reach 45º in a future health assessment, is that a big difference? Do you think I can achieve this degree through this method? I am 30 years old.
A lot of that depends on your mobility. I think it is doable. 52 is actually not too significant.
There are no therapists specialising in Schroth method in my country. What actions should I take to improve my condition? (structural kyphosis)
Check out our other videos and do your best!
I think I have POSTURAL kyphosis . Since it was started three years ago because of my sitting way of studing whole of the day + obesity , and I have been suffering from the big back pain . My standing position is like 2 or 3 hours , and I lay down on my bed all the day with a bad posture . I got a therapy for like 2 months but after that it cant work because of my laziness . now I have cervical pain too . I m very depressed what should I do. Should I am able to get rid from this kyphosis from doing back exercises which my therapist suggest me or by getting help from youtube?? what kind of this kyphosis pls tell me ..☹. In my test reports my uric acid level is above , doctor told me that because of my uric acid I have got this pain.
I would look for a Schroth therapist
I have 59 degrees scheurman kiphosis. Do you think scroth method could help me reduce the cobb angle and prevent it from getting worse? Can somebody contact you online?
Yes, I do think it would help. You are welcome to reach out, but i would suggest finding someone near you who specializes to get the best results.
Bu şekilde ne kadar durulucak. Bide evde nereye tutuna biliriz bu şekilde
Check with a certified therapist

Are there Schroth exercises to help cervical kyphosis? It’s starting to really hurt. Thank you.
Yes!
Does Schroth therapy work for Scheuermann's disease in adults, or does it only work for postural kyphosis? If so, what sort of change in cobb angle have you seen for adult Scheuermann's patients with the Schroth method?
Great question. It definitely works with Scheuermanns! We have seen 10-15 degree reductions but it depends on the person and how consistent they are...along with other variables.
@@AlignTherapyUtah Ok... When I say adult, I don't mean young adult though. I'm 41. So much information out there seems to write off anyone beyond their late teens for any hope of reducing the curve, short of surgery of course, and my kyphosis isn't severe enough to be put forward for it. 10-15 degrees without surgery sounds too good to be true
Is it possibke someone ha some degree of scauerman kiphosis and in the same time some degree of postural ;
Maybe, but this is diagnosed on xray.
Thank you for your answet
Can these been done with hydrotherapy?
I guess you could do it with hydrotherapy, but you would want to progress to on land because that is where we live.

We all have kyphosis. :)
Can you tell me if an Inversion table would help with kyphosis please?
Not usually for the curve but maybe for pain
@@AlignTherapyUtah Ok Thank you..
@@garyneave5368 you are welcome!
When you push out with the elbows does the shoulder blade Automatically go back ?
What is the purpose behind pushing the shoulders out
Opening the ribs and stabilizing the scapula.
What is the difference between thoracic, postural and SCHEUERMANN'S kyphosis?
Scheuermanns is a specific type of structural kyphosis. Postural is not because of the bones.
@@AlignTherapyUtah and about about thoracic?
I mean that what is the difference between thoracic kyphosis and postural kyphosis?
My spine is sechuremen kyposis
I see
What is Kyphosis
Rounding of the upper back
Have you ever had a patient with schuermanns kyphosis?
Yes, all the time.
This doesn’t work, only leads to hardened up muscles
Sorry, but you must not have been trained correctly.
