Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, it is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine of >10 deg. cobb angle on X-ray.
Dr. Soo Peh Yan is one of the two physiotherapist listed in Singapore as fully certified in the International Schroth Three Dimensional Scoliosis Therapy (ISST)
website which is known to be the original schroth method and the gold standard for conservative treatment of scoliosis. We also collaborate with a team of spinal orthopaedic surgeons, orthotics and psychologist to provide with world class services benchmark to international guidelines by SOSORT.
With Schroth Therapy, scoliosis patients are taught customized exercises based on their own curves type which will help to optimise their spinal alignment and also improves muscle imbalances to stop or prevent worsening of their curves. Adult scoliosis can be managed through active treatment. Treatment is geared towards relieving symptoms, and not necessarily fixing the curve. The goal is always to decrease pain and improve function.
Physiotherapy helps to build our core muscles, improve joint and muscle function, which directly helps improve coordination, muscle strength, and posture.
You will learn to activate your core and build muscles strength.
Maintain good posture with scoliosis and reduce pressure on the spine and surrounding tissues, distribute your weight evenly and help your joints bear an equal amount of pressure at all times.
