Hello, Do you do any online consultation? Thank you,
Hi! Can the concave side be opened back up? I feel mine is concaved from the front some as well as the back.
Yes it can! It is a 3 dimensional problem so we have to work with it in all planes. I would suggest working with a Schroth PT
@@AlignTherapyUtah great! Thank you
@@maryingreensboro you are welcome!
Hi! I have a question about my collarbone. I have mild scoliosis but i feel like it improved, i did schroth exercises and streching exercises and my shoulders are the same height but my right collarbone is like a lot higher, what do u think what is it and how to treat it?
You might have an upper thoracic curve that is affecting that. I would work with someone who can work in person with you to determine if that is the case.
@@AlignTherapyUtah that might be the problem, but im hungarian so i cant work in person. My schroth teacher said that my shoulders are at the same heigth so we dont focus on the thoracic part so im helpless what to do🫤
@@nikolettaszilagyi7416 make sure you are doing the derotation part of Schroth!
Hi. I’ve been watching your videos and I really like how you explain things very clearly. I have an unrelated question from this video I hope you can answer. How can Scroth breathing help with a left lumbar curve? I have sciatic nerve compression on my right side causing sciatica. Overall I have left thoracic, left lumbar - but it’s the lumbar curve that’s causing me pain. I have just started doing Schroth with a therapist. Thank you.
The elongation aspect is crucial in this situation. Control and elongation should help open the nerve passages.
I’ve been to every beach on the island and it is beautiful!
So cool. Really fun island!
Great job! So this one with the band around the ankles are for hip strengthening. If you put the band above the knees is that more for glute strengthening? Thanks!
Above the knees just makes it a bit easier. Same muscles.
My brace hurts my skin and my shirt is always sticking to me and it's so uncomfortable. I also get rashes on my stomach from it. Its hard to do so many things in. I wish they were made more comfortably. Idk how much more I can take.
Check out www.bracingforscoliosus.org/ . They have some great ideas.

You explain things so well in all your videos. Thank you. The breathing exercises are becoming more intuitive for my right thoracic curve. How can we correct the compensatory lumbar curve? For me, it goes to the left.
Thanks for reaching out! The trick with the compensatory curve is to control the main curve while doing similar corrections in the lumbar. Most of the time I only will work in one plane at first so we don't see compensation. I would recommend working with a trained therapist to learn this though.
hello Align therapy can you please share your email with me... my sister suffers from scoliosis and she goes through pain every day and the worst part is we don't have specialist in The Gambia here bcuz is very real to see someone with such conditions and is really painful plz share your email... we really need your help
We would love to hear from you on our website. www.aligntherapyutah.com. there are some contact forms there as well a some free reports.
Massage gun
Not really. Much more intense
I am wondering what the long-term goal is with these exercises. For example, a person should do them 3x week over one year, and what is the expected outcome? It is very hard to motivate kids/teenagers.
The goal is to keep the curve from progressing until they are done growing. Definitely not an easy task for kids. Or parents
My daughter had a c-curve (40 degrees to the right) and was operated a couple of years ago at 13 years of age. She had a VBT surgery which enables her to do everything like bending, twisting and even sports just like normal children and Emmerson has been her inspiration ever since she saw this video. But there are a few remnants of that curve which are very minor. Is there still a way to fix that? We are from India.
For a curve that isn't fused that is above and below the fusion, I would do Schroth. If it is within the fusion, it is set.
Omg I from vietnam And I have scoliosis from 14 degree is 33 I wear braces for 4 or 5years extremely hard 22/24 hours a day. I give uo brace at the age of 19 but i go up to 45 But my doctor said it wont go up anymore and I can live without brace But recently, Im a little bit back muscle fatigue I WANT to ask my situation can use schroth to decrese the degree😢😢😢😢😢 help me
I would do it! There is no harm in doing it, but definitely work with someone trained in it.
@@AlignTherapyUtah but does it helps because my degree is so high 45 degree bro
@@QuynhNguyenalexa it can definitely help. Make sure to work with a trained therapist though.
Is this available in the Boston area?
I am not sure. One of the Children's hospitals might have one.

Sir i m scoliosis patient
You should definitely check out our other videos as well then!
Showed up on my xray after a skateboard crash. My doc said it's so small she isn't worried about it. Should I get a second opinion?
That depends on your age and if you are having pain in that area. If it is small, not as concerning.
@AlignTherapyUtah I don't have any pain and I am 35 and fairly physically in shape.
@@HammerJorgenvag i wouldn't worry too much about it. Maybe get an xray in a year to make sure it isn't getting worse. Consult with a scoliosis specialist near you, but that is my thought.

Hello my daughter 12 years old as scoliosis s 50 grade the doctor said, the Schroth Method is possible in her case? I’m trying to avoid the Surgery. Thanks for your videos.
Hope it helps!
I'm dealing with the same problems as anot4her commenter: 5 years since surgery at 21 y/o and lately the pain in my lower back and especially shoulders has increased greatly. Sitting at my desk too much and unaffordable gym subscriptions are probably the biggest culprits. Having a set of exercises I can do in a few minutes is very helpful and just using the muscles is already making the pain subside a little in the short term. I am curious to see what it will do in the long run. Thank you Align Therapy and most of all thank you Emerson!
Hope it continues to help. Thanks for sharing!
Before you elongate and hang, should you first shift your hips (pelvis) slightly to straighten that area? Thanks.
I would try to shift before and then check it afterward.
What exercises to do after final treatment ?
Stretching and strengthening based on the deficits you have.
I am freshly graduated and searching for best scoliosis treatment approach and understanding. Thanks for providing this information 👍
You are welcome. Hope it helps
Why her spinous process so visible?
Just because she doesn't have much fat tissue.
@@AlignTherapyUtah ok. And how about.. if the the thoracic so posterior, but the lumbar so anterior.. is it normal?
@@rahmatasia4405 the thoracic kyphosis should be posterior and the lumbar lordosis should be anterior.
Bro, if I'm 15 and my scoliosis is not looking that bad (it just curved little, I think even less than 10-11 degrees) can I fix it a little bit? No one noticed it yet, so I thought it not that bad form
It is possible to reduce it a bit. If it is under 10 degrees, we don't technically call it scoliosis. Very mild.
@@AlignTherapyUtah thank you for a hope
@@fl8yd you are welcome
I need brace
Find an orthotist who has experience in making braces and ideally can do a 3D brace. Good luck!
I am from India
Thanks for watching!
What’s recovery like? I have a standing job
Sore the next day but then not too bad.
This is the best explanation I have ever seen for measuring the Cobb angle. As someone with scoliosis I always wanted to understand how my doctors got this measurement. Very informative!
Glad it helped!

Can this work if you are at the point of surgery because you got the incorrect brace and it didn't work?
It depends how big the curve is but I would definitely try it.
@@AlignTherapyUtah last time it was checked it was past 50, but that was 2 years ago😭😭 plus is it supposed to hurt? Or maybe I'm doing it incorrectly?

9 “I watched till thrones were put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire; 10 A fiery stream issued And came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, And the books were opened. 11 “I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. 13 “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him. 14 Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:9-14 10 Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things? 11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God (YHVH, El Shaddai, Adonai, God of Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham). John 3:10-18
Hi Doctor, please as you always say we start at the pelvic.....how can I correct my pelvic while sitting down or while breathing like your model in the video.....thank you
It takes practice and I really suggest working with a Schroth therapist to learn how.
This actually seems helpful. I don’t like the videos that say to simply do rows because I use 250 for 10reps of standing rows and I still feel like could improve my spine.
You are welcome for the video. I hope it helps. Yes, I agree, doing just rows usually uses the lats too much.
