The Schroth Method was developed in Germany in the 1920s. It is a specialized technique for patients diagnosed with scoliosis. Offered at only a handful of hospitals in the Chicagoland area, our lead therapist is specifically trained and certified in this method.
The Schroth Method was born from Katharina Schroth’s personal struggle with scoliosis in the late 1800s. Frustrated by conventional treatments, she developed techniques and exercises to manage her spinal curvature. Together with her daughter, Christa, she opened a clinic, helping patients regain strength, posture, and confidence, creating a world-renowned method that continues to transform lives today.
The method combines targeted exercises, stretches, and breathing techniques to address spinal curvature. It is effective for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis as well as adults with significant spinal curves. As a conservative approach, the Schroth Method has been shown to slow or even halt curve progression in adolescents.
Our therapists carefully assess each patient to determine how the method can best be applied and guide them through exercises tailored to their specific degree of curvature, symptoms, and overall health.
Patients undergoing the Schroth Method at CPT often experience improved strength, posture, function, and breathing. Beyond physical benefits, the therapy helps increase self-awareness, confidence, and self-image, empowering patients to better manage their scoliosis and maintain a higher quality of life.
