Scoliosis
Spine in Balance: Scoliosis Management That Moves With You
Straighten Up — With Confidence & Care
Personalized therapy using SEAS & Schroth Method to realign posture, build strength, and boost confidence.
💭 Noticed uneven shoulders or an asymmetrical waistline?
Scoliosis is more than just “a curved spine” — it affects posture, breathing, mobility, and even self-confidence.
At BeLeaf Physiotherapy, we offer specialised scoliosis management using evidence-based methods like SEAS and the Schroth Method, tailored to each curve, each body, each person.
🔎 What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis is a 3D deformity of the spine that causes lateral curvature and often a rotational component. It’s commonly diagnosed in adolescents but can occur at any age. It may be structural (idiopathic, congenital) or functional (postural, compensatory).
⚠️ Common Signs & Symptoms
You or your child may benefit from physiotherapy if you notice:
❗ Uneven shoulders or hips
❗ Rib hump on one side when bending forward
❗ Visible spinal curvature
❗ Back pain, muscle tightness, or fatigue
❗ One shoulder blade protruding more
❗ Postural imbalance or gait changes
❗ Reduced lung capacity (in severe cases)
🌱 Our Specialized Scoliosis Approaches
At BeLeaf, we don’t just "monitor" scoliosis — we act early with specific, targeted interventions to improve posture, muscle symmetry, breathing, and spinal control.
SEAS Method (Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis)
Developed in Italy, SEAS focuses on:
-
Active self-correction in 3D
-
Functional, task-oriented exercises
-
Improving postural control, balance & spinal stability
-
Encouraging autonomy in managing scoliosis
✅ Ideal for mild to moderate scoliosis, adolescents in growth spurts, and those not needing bracing.
Schroth Method
A globally recognised approach involving:
-
Breathing techniques (rotational angular breathing)
-
Asymmetrical postural training
-
Targeted muscle elongation & de-rotation
-
Mirror-based posture awareness
✅ Often used in more moderate-to-severe cases, sometimes alongside bracing.
⚖️ SEAS vs Schroth — What’s the Difference?
| SEAS | Schroth | |
|---|---|---|
| Origin | Italy | Germany |
| Focus | Functional exercises + postural control | Breathing + posture correction |
| Self-management | Strong focus on independence | Requires therapist-guided sessions |
| Application | Best for early to moderate curves | Effective in more complex/symmetrical curves |
| Goal | Integrate spinal correction into daily activities | Improve spinal alignment and breathing |
🛠️ Our Physiotherapy Approach
At BeLeaf, scoliosis care is personalized and empowering, with a strong educational component. We support children, teens, and adults alike with:
1. Comprehensive Assessment
Posture, flexibility, muscle strength, curve pattern analysis
2. Breathing & Control Training
Improve breathing mechanics & thoracic mobility
3. Individualized Exercise Program
SEAS or Schroth-based sessions tailored to curve & age
4. Postural Education
Mirror feedback & motor learning
5. Progress Monitoring
Ongoing measurement of postural improvement, muscle balance, curve response
💡 Did You Know?
📌 Studies show that SEAS exercises can reduce curve progression in idiopathic scoliosis without bracing
📌 Schroth Method has shown improvements in posture, pain, and even Cobb angle
📌 Exercise-based treatment is most effective when started early — before skeletal maturity

🔹 Basic Interventions
- Postural taping (for awareness)
- Mobility & stretching for asymmetrical tightness
- Breathing pattern correction
🔹 Manual Therapy
