Three-Dimensional Treatment for Scoliosis

I bought this book for my wife as she suffers terribly with Scoliosis. Also good for me to read so I can be of some help to her. Hopefully with the exercises and treatments explained in the book she can avoid surgery as long as possible. Very helpful and informative, a great reference book.

I bought this excellent book on the subject for my wife who has been looking for this kind of information, and even bought two books which were not as illustrative or descriptive. She finds this book as useful as an encyclopedia

This book should be a must have for any professional treating people with scoliosis. The text is clear. The method is so well described. And the photos are unique proving the progress during the training. Scoliosis is very often made a 2D issue and it certainly is a 3 D. The book is a result of professional work over many years - carried by care and passion for the subject.

Very helpful book in understanding the mechanical side of scoliosis and breathing. Definitely a must read for anyone with the condition.

excellent book for people suffering from severe back conditions, but needs guidance from expert physiotherapists to assess the individual condition of the spine disease as certain exercises are not suitable and can cause damage. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! I am guided by experts and using it daily/ J.Sarguroh

I learned quite a lot tried to get treatment in London Hammersmith all my emails, txt messages and phone calls are ignored, I having treatment in Vienna now. In Germany they have 300 clinics and it is on the National Health. In England I am offered pain killers

an excellent book on self-help for scoliosis and should be on every chiropractors shelf

for the professional with a knowledge of anatomical terms

A lot of information on scoliosis and the various exercises and treatment options. Very in depth. Would recommend to anyone wanting to dig deeper into their condition and gain an understanding of to help themselves take charge of their back health.

Good book

Il libro è in lingua inglese, molto chiaro sui concetti, molto ben fatto. Una bibbia da avere per il trattamento delle scoliosi. Bisogna anche tenere in conto che è l'unica metodica di trattamento delle scoliosi molto valida a livello di EBM.

Diagnosed at 14 with an approximately 15 degree lumbar curve-- not serious enough to treat. Leg length discrepancy -- a cause or a result of the curve? As I have gotten older have had increasing back stiffness and pain. Using a lift in one shoe to even out the hips did help but did not resolve the inflexibility and pain issues. Had many difficulties trying to do Pilates and Yoga, even with all the accommodations and modifications for spinal curve. Found "Three Dimensional Treatment for Scoliosis" by researching myself and ordered about a year ago. Although I cannot make optimum use of the book, I could get enough out of it to increase my understanding of my curve (comparing the photos to myself) and to start doing some of the stretches and exercises. The major insight came from understanding the impact of my curve -- I had assumed that the painful side was the weak side, but the Schroth book showed me that in fact this side is the tight, overly contracted and "strong" (not in a helpful way) side, and needed to be stretched. And the longer side needed extra attention in order to strengthen . This insight, all by itself, was incredibly empowering. Even though I cannot figure out exactly how to do all the exercises, I now understand enough to work each side in the correct mode. I have experienced a big improvement in flexibility and have been able to work the core muscles much more effectively, (and without back pain,) than I could in the Pilates classes. I saw in a recent NYTimes article that the Schroth method is starting to be more widely used in the United States. If there were a practitioner near me I would definitely go, but having the book and using it all by myself has been invaluable. Every so often I go back to the manual, and can glean more out of it and keep adjusting my program. Even if you are well past mid life and have a relatively small asymmetry you can help yourself using this book. So grateful to have discovered it.

i love this book, put in to words and pictures the things i was thinking and gave me so many treatment ideas thank you spread the word
