From postural correction to improved spinal mobility, our certified specialists provide evidence-based physiotherapy treatments to manage spinal curvature, reduce muscle discomfort, and improve overall movement.
What drives Scoliosis
Yes, specialized physiotherapy is an essential, non-surgical approach for managing scoliosis. By utilizing targeted scoliosis-specific exercises (such as 3D posture correction and Schroth-based principles), physiotherapy helps slow curve progression, rebalance postural asymmetry, and relieve chronic spinal pain.
Idiopathic Scoliosis
Degenerative Adult Scoliosi
Functional / Postural Scoliosis
Symptoms
What does Scoliosis
feel like?
Scoliosis involves an abnormal side-to-side curvature of the spine (usually C-shaped or S-shaped), causing:
Visible Postural Asymmetry
Uneven shoulders, one prominent shoulder blade, uneven waistline, or high-and-low hips.
Muscular Fatigue & Soreness
A constant ache on one side of the back due to overworked muscles trying to support the curved spine.
Clothing Misalignment
Clothes, waistbands, or necklines hanging unevenly across the body.
Restricted Spinal Mobility & Breathing Strain
Difficulty twisting or bending evenly to both sides, with severe curves occasionally restricting rib cage expansion.
Symptoms
When to see a physiotherapist?
You should schedule an assessment with a physiotherapist if:
You or your child notice postural asymmetries like uneven shoulders or hips.
You experience recurring back fatigue or pain after standing or sitting for short periods.
You want a structured exercise program to manage a diagnosed spinal curve without surgery.
Important medical warning
WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY
How we assess scoliosis
at Plan B
Our clinical assessment for spinal curvature includes:
Checking spinal rotation and trunk asymmetry.
Identifying rib humps or lumbar asymmetry during forward flexion.
Evaluating muscle tightness on the concave side and weakness on the convex side of the curve.
Analyzing existing medical imaging to map out specific curve patterns.
How we treat lower back pain
Depending on your clinical findings, your treatment plan may include:
Specific Postural Correction Exercises
3D correctional exercises designed to lengthen tight concavities and strengthen weak convexities.
Core Anti-Rotation & Stability Training
Strengthening deep spinal stabilizers to maintain upright alignment.
Myofascial & Manual Therapy
Releasing tight muscles and joint restrictions along overworked side-curves.
Breathing Retraining (Rotational Breathing)
Expanding collapsed areas of the rib cage to improve lung expansion and posture.
What to expect
Scoliosis treatment focuses on long-term management, pain reduction, and curve stabilization:
Phase 01
Adolescent / Early Curve Management
EXPECTED DURATION
10-16
sessions
3-6

months
Relieve muscle strain, improve daily posture endurance, and stop recurring aches.
Phase 03
Complex / High-Angle Management
EXPECTED DURATION
Long-term maintenance programs tailored to physical demands.
Pain management, functional core support, and avoiding surgical intervention.

QUESTIONS, Answered.
Still not sure? Our team is happy to answer any questions before you book.
In structural scoliosis, treatment aims to stabilize the curve, improve posture symmetry, and eliminate pain rather than fully “straightening” bones. Functional curves, however, can often be significantly corrected.
Yes! Staying active is essential. However, symmetrical core exercises and targeted scoliosis movements are far safer than heavy asymmetrical lifting.
If you have recent X-rays, please bring them so we can assess your exact Cobb angle. If not, we can conduct a physical scoliometer assessment first.
Screening is recommended for children aged 10 to 14, as early detection during growth spurts yields the best conservative outcomes.
Wear a form-fitting tank top, sports bra, or shorts so our physiotherapists can accurately observe your spinal alignment.
