Juvenile Scoliosis

Juvenile scoliosis is a type of scoliosis that affects children between the ages of 4 and 10. 

Treatment incorporates play-based activities with Schroth concepts, as well as parent education. The focus is on:  

• Proper postural and spinal alignment in all positions

• Stretching tight muscles

• Strengthening weakened muscles

• Age-appropriate breathing exercises

• Guidance on bracing

• Close monitoring of the scoliotic curve

• Parent education to understand their child’s scoliotic curve and its effects

• Collaboration with child’s physician or orthotist as needed
