individual sessions
- 6-8 sessions are booked within 3-5 weeks
- You will learn the Schroth principles, home exercise program and postural corrections to be incorporated in activities of daily living.
- When a home exercise program is finalized, monthly or bimonthly visits are recommended to assure the good performance and to adjust the treatment when needed.
- Treatment plan is personalized and tailored to a specific curve pattern and individual physical abilities.
- While group sessions are also offered, some patients find it difficult to work in a group. For these patients, individual sessions are the best choice.
group sessions
- Group sessions are perfect for persons who have already undergone through the series of individual Schroth sessions, and have a good understanding of their own curve and how it is affecting their body features and posture.
- During group session, each person is doing their own exercises, while a Schroth therapist checks the performance and adjusts, modifies or changes the exercises as needed.
- If a patient has difficulty following the session through, the therapist may suggest switching to individual sessions until a patient’s performance becomes satisfactory for attending group sessions.
- Group sessions will consist of 2 to 4 persons.
- Sessions are 45 min long
intensive schroth program
- For patients out-of-town, we offer intensive Schroth programs. The same outcomes are achieved as regular sessions, but delivered in an intensive program.
- 12 individual sessions over 3-5 days are needed, but we adjust this based on the person’s abilities and other factors.
- The sessions are performed in the morning and in the afternoon.
- Sessions last 45 – 120 min
