Scoliosis Assessment and Treatment (Schroth Method) at Elyzee Hospital

Scoliosis Assessment and Treatment using the Schroth Method is a specialized physiotherapy approach designed to evaluate and manage spinal curvature conditions. At Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi, our physiotherapy team provides structured scoliosis assessment and personalized treatment programs based on the internationally recognized Schroth Method to help improve posture, spinal alignment, and functional movement.

Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. It can develop during adolescence, as part of degenerative spinal changes in adults, or due to neuromuscular conditions. Early assessment and targeted physiotherapy intervention are important to help manage symptoms, improve spinal stability, and prevent progression of the curvature.

What is the Schroth Method?

The Schroth Method is a specialized physiotherapy technique developed specifically for the conservative treatment of scoliosis. It uses customized exercises, breathing techniques, and postural corrections to address spinal curvature and improve muscular balance around the spine.

At Elyzee Hospital, Schroth-based physiotherapy programs are tailored to each patient’s spinal curve pattern, physical condition, and rehabilitation goals.
