As physiotherapists, our clinical focus often shifts depending on the decade of the patient sitting in front of us. However, when it comes to scoliosis, we see two distinct epidemiological peaks across a woman's lifespan: adolescence and menopause.

The Schroth Method is a specialized, non-surgical physical therapy approach for managing scoliosis. It stands out as one of the most researched and widely used physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE). Developed in Germany in the early 20th century, it addresses the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis rather than just the sideways curve.

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, often forming an "S" or "C" shape. It can occur in children or adults and may cause uneven shoulders or hips and pain. Treatment options include observation, bracing, conservative treatment or surgery, depending on the severity. Early detection is important for effective management.
