Three-Dimensional Treatment for Scoliosis: A Physiotherapeutic Method for Deformities of the Spine

Diagnosed at 14 with an approximately 15 degree lumbar curve-- not serious enough to treat. Leg length discrepancy -- a cause or a result of the curve? As I have gotten older have had increasing back stiffness and pain. Using a lift in one shoe to even out the hips did help but did not resolve the inflexibility and pain issues. Had many difficulties trying to do Pilates and Yoga, even with all the accommodations and modifications for spinal curve.Found "Three Dimensional Treatment for Scoliosis" by researching myself and ordered about a year ago. Although I cannot make optimum use of the book,

This is a great book. I have scoliosis. I had stiff neck, my neck was almost locked, I could not turn it freely when I was getting off my drive way. I tried pilates, yoga, different PTs, chiropractors without too much help. I bought this book. It is the magic. The exercises are great, unique, and very effective. The philosophy is so right. The book is the most powerful tool that I found works so well. It takes time to master the exercises. I read it over and over. It is worth of the time and efforts. In the end, it is us that we will treat our scoliosis. PT can share their perspective, and we

Three-Dimensional Treatment for Scoliosis in the English translation is a book I've been waiting for a long time. Three years ago when I had an increase in my back pain, I began to search for something to relieve my pain. I had a spinal fusion in 1957 for a significant thoracic curve, with a good result. My post-op instructions were to not gain weight and keep moving.As time has gone by, three pregnancies, and a lot of hard work and physical activity, I notice a significant lumbar curve has developed. Since I have been told repeatedly that nothing more could be done for me, I've looked for som

This book by Christa Lehnert-Schroth, P.T., contains the most amazing treatment for deformities of the spine I have ever seen. I would highly recommend this book to any physical therapist who works with scoliosis patients. As a registered nurse in the United States, the text books and classroom instructors taught that scoliosis was generally treated with bracing and/or surgery. No where had I EVER seen this Schroth Method mentioned. I got this book when my husband was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Kyphosis at the age of 64. (Four years ago, an incorrect diagnosis was made: osteoporosis with ver

I was looking for options to treat Scoliosis since I practice Manual Therapy and outcomes and opinions vary quite a bit within this field, but overall, there is a lot of questioning about positive outcomes.There is a lot of great info presented in this book, a lot of statements that will make you think twice about everything that you've done before for this dysfunction.There are a lot of pictures that clarify some of the more difficult exercises descriptions and a lot of pictures that show their great outcomes.However, the method is complex. At least, it does appear so by just reading the book

The book is outdated and uses old terms etc (not anatomical terms). But the concepts, examples, explanations really help. When you take your Schoth course, the instructors jargon doesn't always give you the full understanding of a concept. But this book and the other Barcelona Schroth book uses other descriptions. So some concepts suddenly sink in, and you are able to more fully see the whole picture. In addition, the certification course takes you through the positions, but when you start treating, you need more than those 4 exercises and these books provide you with those exercises and conce

I am so glad I found this book I have scoliosis and I did an exercise which is required for breathing properly to help straighten out my back it allows the oxygen to float through into my vertebrae and my spine started realigning after one 1 hour session it helped relieve my pain without pain medicine

As a person with scoliosis this book was more technical than I expected. Thought I could get some clear exercises that might help but that wasn't the case. Would be good if you had a Scroth method instructor to see but couldn't find one in the Phoenix area.
