🔎 SEAS vs Schroth: A Smarter Approach to Scoliosis Treatment SEAS and Schroth are two of the most recognised scoliosis-specific exercise methods, both endorsed by SOSORT. However, there are key differences that impact learning, execution, and long-term adherence to treatment. 📌 Why is SEAS - Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis, increasingly integrated into the exercises of Schroth-trained physiotherapists? A recent study surveying 173 Schroth practitioners in Europe and America found that 52% combine it with another method—and in 37.9% of cases, that method is SEAS. 🎯 Readmore 👉 https://lnkd.in/dVmVjTPY In addition, read the feedback from SEAS course participants who are already Schroth-trained ✅ Minimal Equipment Needed – "Unlike Schroth, which requires wall bars and specialised equipment, SEAS only needs simple home furniture—like a chair and a full-length mirror!" 🏠🪞 ✅ Functional & Dynamic Exercises – "SEAS exercises are done in upright, anti-gravity positions, making it easy to integrate corrections into daily activities. (Hernandez, Argentina) ✅ Truly Personalised Treatment – "In SEAS, exercises are custom-tailored to each patient’s curve, rotation, and ability. Unlike Schroth, which groups patients together, SEAS provides individualised correction." 🎯 (Priscilla, Hong Kong) ✅ Time-Efficient & Sustainable – "SEAS requires much less daily time investment than Schroth. It focuses on patient-driven corrections rather than external forces, helping them maintain better posture independently." ⏳💡 (Keith, Colorado) ✅ A Powerful Complement to Schroth – "The ideal approach combines the best of SEAS and Schroth, adapting to the patient’s age and ability to stabilise their self-correction." 🤝🔬 (Tuğçe, Ankara) 🚀 Are you a scoliosis specialist looking for a more effective, patient-friendly approach?

Our patients’ questions are often opportunities to provide useful information to them and others. A patient's question prompted us to examine the possible correlation between scoliosis, degrees of curvature, and height growth: "Is there a relationship, however approximate, between the number of Cobb degrees and the number of cm lost in height? I have read that you lose 1 cm in height for every 10° of Cobb angle, and therefore that you can divide your degrees of curvature by 10 to work out how much height you’ve lost.” You can read our reply on our blog 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/dpqQhc-B #ScoliosisAwareness #HeightGrowth #growth #SpinalHealth #StayActive #HealthTips #height #SpineHealth #health #healthcare #spine #scoliosis #IdiopathicScoliosis #SpinalDeformities #CobbDegrees #curvature #Isico #IsicoBlog

SOSORT—International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment—is a non-profit organisation founded in 2004. Stefano Negrini, Scientific Director of Isico, is one of the 8 founders. Dedicated to evidence-based non-operative care for people with #scoliosis and structural changes of the #spine, SOSORT fosters research on the early detection, prevention, treatment, and outcomes of patients. During the annual meetings, the SOSORT Award for the best abstract submitted is assigned each year. Since 2008, Isico and its researchers have won the coveted SOSORT Award 11 times as authors or co-authors. 🔷 Specific exercises performed in the period of brace weaning can avoid loss of correction in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients: Winner of SOSORT's 2008 Award for Best Clinical Paper. https://lnkd.in/dP92mWHs 🔷 Effectiveness of complete conservative treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (bracing and exercises) based on SOSORT management criteria: results according to the SRS criteria for bracing studies—SOSORT Award 2009 Winner. https://lnkd.in/dkcfR9M2 🔷Team care to cure adolescents with braces (avoiding low quality of life, pain and bad compliance): a case-control retrospective study. 2011 SOSORT Award winner. https://lnkd.in/d2UrnGvx 🔷A comparison approach to explain risks related to X-ray imaging for scoliosis, 2012 SOSORT award winner. https://lnkd.in/gZTNvAJ 🔷In favour of the definition "adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis": juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis braced after ten years of age, do not show different end results.
