Treatment For Scoliosis | Three-dimensional
The gold standard for conservative (non-surgical) three-dimensional care is the , a physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercise (PSSE) approach developed in Germany in the 1920s . The Core Pillars of 3D Treatment
Three-dimensional treatment focuses on retraining the body to "undo" the specific twist of your unique curve.
: This specialized breathing technique uses the force of the breath to "expand" the collapsed, concave areas of the rib cage from the inside out, helping to de-rotate the ribs . Three-Dimensional Treatment For Scoliosis
: Using mirrors, patients learn to recognize their scoliotic posture and consciously maintain a corrected "straight" position until it becomes a habit .
Treating only the side-to-side curve (coronal plane) ignores the rotation that creates the "rib hump" often seen in scoliosis . By addressing all three planes, patients can achieve: : Using mirrors, patients learn to recognize their
: This is the patient’s ability to actively realign the spine in all three dimensions using their own muscles .
: Improving pelvic alignment and overall body symmetry . Common 3D Exercises Side Plank Theory for Scoliosis Raises Questions : Improving pelvic alignment and overall body symmetry
: Halting or slowing the progression of the curve during growth spurts .
