I have scoliosis

By Hans-Rudolf Weiss

Increasingly, evidence is being found for the effectiveness of using physical therapy/rehabilitation in the comprehensive treatment of scoliosis. The use of corsets, once controversial, is now seen as having a scientific basis and evidence. At the same time, evidence for the effectiveness of surgical treatment of scoliosis is lacking, and recent studies on long-term outcomes raise even more questions. Therefore, the future lies in conservative, non-surgical treatments for scoliosis. The good news is that recent advances in corset therapy and rehabilitation, aimed at helping the patient depending on the type of curvature, now offer improved options for stopping the progression of curvature and even the ability to reduce curvatures between 20 and 50 degrees. Specific therapy is aimed at maximising results in the course of daily life. After a short training without in-depth theoretical training, patients can learn awareness to maintain a corrected body posture and help themselves by learning to avoid activities that increase curvature.
