Fix Your Scoliosis with a Foam Roller (Scroth's Method) 

Thrilled that I saw this! I was already doing this with a "Foam Roller on My Bed". If you think about it, it's somewhere between the Foam Roller on a Hard surface, or using a rolled up towel. It provides the firmness of the Foam, but the bed's mattress gives it some cushion. Only thing is, is that I wish I would have thought of it earlier, or found this great Video. I've been finding this successful. Good luck everyone! Thank you very much for this posting as well!!!

As a runner who is training for a marathon, these foam rollers ru-vid.comUgkx9XSsjzA4f84VmhBCHlyhec7XILIxennL are really good for sore and tight muscles. This one is a good size (mine is the purple, 36 inches) not too big but big enough to work and roll both my legs at the same time - I took a photo holding the roller next to me just to provide a better representation of its size. I noticed some reviewers who complained that this is, “just a foam noodle”… and yes, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a high density foam roller. It is absolutely NOT the same consistency/strength/durability/ or texture as a ‘pool noodle’ thought and I disagree entirely with those that say so. As a former collegiate athlete and marathon runner, I’m comfortably giving this roller 5 stars. It’s lightweight and durable and does just what I need it to do at a budget-friendly price. Overall, I have no complaints and am happy with it!

I already did this with a very hard foam roller, and it showed like an immidiate result...when I do the stomach vacuum, the left side of my rib cage always sticks out more than the right side, so I did this on the opposite side, and after 2 "sets" (30 second stretch) I immidiately noticed how my rib cage was more even...So hopefully if I keep doing this every single day, I will correct mi scoliosis...thank you very much for this video

My man don’t gotta bed so he sleeps on a box

Thank you....I have been diagnose with scoliosis...the pain was unbearable..The docs didn't want to do a CT scan because it was the mid back and that very rarely injuries of dics and nerve damage...After ruling out gall bladder.kidney.heart.lungs.liver CT was done.. I have scoliosis not to mention foot drop. .fusion on lower back... after my operations all other problems do occurr. the balance of the body goes haywire it compensates for injuries...which leads to other problems I love your work...You have slowed down alot. I follow your exercises in hydrotherapy.. very helpful. thank you tc keep up the great work we are following your advice

I was diagnosed with scoliosis (not a serious one, below 30degrees) when I was 15. A specialist ( a super doctor who was also a university professor an expert in postural problems) said that wearing a heel lift could have been useful: the legs had the same length but my pelvis was a bit twisted and one side 15 mm higher than the other. he said it was good practice non to go for a thick heel lift (that a heel lift should be half or less than the real gap since that could have cause the thoracic curve to worsen.He asked me to come back after a few months with new xrays (taken while I was wearing the 5mm heel lift). The lumbar curve was reduced while the thoracic curve was either the same or just slightly worse. I had less pain and he said I should wear it till I was 18 at least and that afterwords it would be useless. I kept wearing it till I was 35 then I thought I would get rid of it. all good, till after 5 months I started to have lots of pain like sciatica in my lower back and down my hip, left knee.. the side where the crest of the pelvis was lower (where I used to have to heel lift). The pain worsened...also, I was doing pilates and other exercises I was taught as a young patient (exercises to help cope with scoliosis I was taught for a few months on a weekly based by an expert when I was 16). I had never had such a terrible pain in my life, I could not stand or alk anymore for more than 20 minutes. I was fine when sitting or laying in bed. My doctor said that I should see a phisiotherapist. I insisted that I wanted to see a more competent person (like a doctor who studied 15 years to become an expert about posture and scoliosis, but he insisted that a physiotherapist was good enough). The physiotherapist told me (after a thorough) assessment) that my scoliosis (actually my lumbar curve) was not there when I lay on the bed, but just when I stood up. That it was a sort of scoliosis cause but postural problems that that even if my legs had the same length I had to wear a heel lift (15 mm). He said a heel lift would be useful if my scoliosis was still there in all sort of positions but that in my case it would do the job. I started wearing a 6mm heel lift since I did not trust him (20 years before the specialist said I should wear a smaller one; half the real gap). I felt better within the following 2 days and I had 2 great months: no pain!!! now some pain is back but on the other side of the pelvis, the hip without the heel lift (the right side) it is not as bad as the pain I had on the left side, not at all, but it is annoying. Now I don't know what to do. If I take the heel lift off )from the left shoe) I will go back having that unbearable pain...I am 40, I do lots of core exercises and have a very strong core, I do lots of exercises all the best ones for scoliosis... any advice?

Very good video and I gave it a thumbs up, but it's a little misleading at the start. The spine curve of the skeleton which is facing the same way we viewers are is to the left. But transposing it to the person facing us puts the curve to the right.

A wonderful video, frankly, the first time that I understand the correct way of treatment without the need to repeat more than once Thank you very much

I heard that an overcorrection of the curve is not recommendable. So you would have to choose the right size of the foamroller/towel.

I had scoliosis mid spine that was killing me as it was affecting every part of my body to misalign....I couldn't breathe properly for 2 years because the misalignment was causing my lungs to restricting t out of shape, this meant lack of bloodline n oxygen getting g to my head...I had the most severe type of brain fog...I really thought I was losing my mind big time, every day was agony... Non of my physios or Chiro practitioners, helped me sort this out...They told me I had a bend in my mid back, kept working on me it nothing was changing...The bend in my mid spine was pushing the whole of my spine out of place... About two weeks ago I was getting ready to sleep, I was sick of beer in so much agony not being about to comfortable no matter what position I slept in...I had been suffering from insomnia for 2 years, only sleeping an hour or two a night, causing my body to crash badly...I decided to Liz yen to my body n see if I can push the bend in my spine in the opposite direction...Lying on my left side as the right side was giving me more trouble, I lift up my right hand n arm, slowly maneuvering over my body to dangle my arm towards my back...I could feel the pressure building at around where the bend was...I closed my eyes to direct my pressurel slowly where I wanted to push...I took a deep breath in n as I exhaled I slowly pushed against the bend, I went as far back as I could breathing in to that place to soften up n release back into the position it needs to be in...I remained there for a count of 30, slowly came back to my side position...A couple of mins later did the same again...This time around d I could feel the difference, it felt like it was slipping back into place... About 5 mins later, I slowly turned back into the centre...I assessed the change...I was breathing so much better, there was no pulling n tugging thru my whole body...The e tremendous tightness in my upper neck, head n facial area had simply relaxed...My lower back that was extremely tight, was looser...Though it has not helped my brain fog, my mind is much more clear...Though it hasn't made much difference to my failing eyesight, it has overall given me my life back...Every night I do this same e ercise to maintain the right posture of my spine...As being in one position for so long it tends to start pulling to go back into the position it was in...I know if I carry onto work on it for a few weeks it will start to remain where it needs to...hope it helps anyone in the same situation..

Please have more videos on Scoliosis. I need that . Thanks xx

Pro tip: If a chiropractor cracks your back and tells you that will help with your scoliosis. Leave and never go back :)

Scroths method = Mobilization without Specific strengthening/ Real addressing So itll MOST likely come back to exactly! How the scoliosis was over the amount of time you were using this method for. This is from my personal Experience, Scoliosis is best addressed with Yoga and becoming aware of your OWN biomechanics and Ergonomics. Goodluck! Just be Healthy, take care

I have a scoliosis in my upper back, but whenever i'm trying to sleep laying on my right side, that really hurts some of my left ribs (the lower ones), it kind of gives some preasure idk. Could this exercise be helpful?

I bought a foam roller at Ross today and I'm going to start doing this exercise daily. I'm 37 and have a decent curve in my lower back that's about 30 degrees.

i have thoracic scoliosis where the curve is on the upper part of my spine going to neck. i'm wondering if this method would help me correct my spine

Do you a video for uneven hips?

just found this channel! amazing! tysm! curious if there are any exercises or stretches to fix head tilt. not sure if it's from scoliosis or strabismus? maybe both? my one hip is a little higher also. Found this out after fracturing foot and having hard cast put on. lasted less than 24 hrs in hard cast bc and was booted AMA bc of severe pain it caused hip. worse than the cractures in foot. i bought myself an inversion table last year; recently, though, my lower back feels like it is squeezed together (i think the decompression videos accurately describes that pain & makes most sense) will be trying those exercises this evening! tysm!!

Hi! I have scoliosis in my lumbar spine (dextro concave scoliosis). Can I use a foam roller in my lumbar area to make the spine straight, or this move is only for a thoracic scoliosis?

Hello guy:) thanks à lot to answer! Ok I Will do both! Thanks for those exercices for sciatic but I use since 3 years to do That and I always stiff in my right bottom and low back and wick in my left leg:) My chiro and ostéophate guy always told me to release my left thoracic spine And left side muscle of the waist first ! If not I Will always have I stiff right bottom and wick left legs! Know I start to anderstand 2 years after :)) I never listen because and I work my bottom and legs :) And after your exercice for sciolose , I fell good from all my body!! Thanks!

Hi! if the thoracic curve is a secondary curve to compensate for the lumbar one, why would you do this exercise? shouldn't you tackle the lumbar one?

How frequently should I do this?

Thank you!!!

you forgot to mention how many minutes a day??????????

Finally something that's helped! and it's Australian which is even better 👌🏻

the thing is i don’t have scoliosis on my lower back I only have scoliosis on my upper back so I don’t know if the appendix point is different

If i have scoliosis in right position of my body, whaat direction i must do to place the roller? In left or right side of my body?

Thank you

Beautiful!

my right side is higher to I lay on that side with foam roller

Great tips 😍

This is not the Schroth method. She makes it clear that you should never lay on the convex (rib hump) side because it can actually further rotate the spine into the direction it is already rotated, making the scoliosis worse. Be careful with RU-vid exercises, anyone with scoliosis should consult a physical therapist, doctor, or other medical professional before attempting.

Very well explained ! 👍

Hi. My name is Sydney. I am 11 years old. I had scoliosis 2 months ago when my OT and my nurse saw that my back were curved into a S curve . Now I have back pain due to my scoliosis and my left leg. I need your help.

The anatomical pic shows curve towards left and that body moves right correct! (Because the pic shows posterior part of body, you are trying that anterior ) So you have to place roller under left T10 - L5 ( I thing) , is that clear???

I have 11 degrees Levoscoliosis in the thoracic spine. Will this help me? What side do I try this on?

Am lucky to find your video, as I have mild scoliosis of spine to the right . I hope that my spine will be back to normal using your method. Do you have a video on fixing cervical region, as mine is on mild scoliosis to the left ? Much thanks

How many times a week to do do the foam roller technique?

Would this still help if I have a double curve but my bottom curve is a lot worse than the top

I have an S shaped scoliosis with the larger curve being on upper right side and the other one being on the lower left side (just above the waist). Should I lay on the foam roller for each of these in sequence?

I have mid scoliosis hopes this works

I have curve same as shown in the picture in this video that means it curves in left and the right part is out. So which side should i use roller left or right. What i think is the curve is on left so it should be used on left but the video is showing on right. Plz help

So if I my left rib is sticking out, do I lay on right side on the foam roller?

I have a 36 for my degree of scoliosis. I have 3 curves but there is one that is the biggest of the 3. Would this technique help me? How long would it take by estimate?

Thank you very match

Hi sir, ive a right lumbar scoliosis since my sugery of ACL knee. Ive also a Femoral acetabular impegment (FAI). I never pain in my back before the sugery because i do a lots of sports like karate (10 years)... i think the pressure of the right scoliosis make pain in my femoral hips ? thx

what happen if i do that for years? lets say i have a right convex scorliosis then it will get back to normal and turn later into a left convex?

I have an s curve and am fused t9 to pelvis. Would it be effective to do this on my unfused thoracic curve?

Hello mister Activ:) Thanks for answers but what is the vidéo you talk about for my pains:)?! I whish you a good day.

so basically your stretching the opposite side???

i have a S curvature so if i bend like this my lumbar curve will worsen as i fix thoracic curve . what can i do

I'm sorry, but this has zero to do with Schroth (that's how it's spelled... not Scroth). In Schroth you avoid side flexion.

Yours tshirt very nice ...what is the name of Company of this tshirt sir...kindly tell me?

Hello me again! do you have another good exercice for sciolosis?! I haven ´ t a sciolosis but I have sciolosis position since I have 5 years old! it s nearly the same same thing! Same pain( low back, sacrum, knee, stiff left TFL, neck, shouder, ect ...) :))

If I have my concave side on the left, where should I put the towel, on the right or on the left?

The lack of a massive wooden cube stops me from doing this

My scoliosis is 31 degrees, previously 29. How long do you think it will take until it gets to around 10? Is it possible?

Hi how can i get it this roller and others, pls give us contact details

I have my kids step on my back anytime it hurt and I get a great pop. :)

I do not have a box, can I do that on the bed?

The side which is outer is were I should put the foam roller rght ?

How this help for someone who has scoliosis from birth? Aka all my body bones have different length on left&right side. It won't straight I know. I have 13degree thoracal. I tried doing this... But dunno yet the benefit

I will try this I have mild scoliosis idiopathic but I can still straight my body but it hurt my self....

What to do if the curve goes from T1- to T4?.

i have 26 degree of curvature... i have serious lower back pain n pain on right leg... i have spinal bifida .. plz give any suggestions..

Shall I have to put the foam roller on concave side or convex side. My left shoulder is higher than the right side so I have pain on my left side rib cage

I have scoliosis stage 2-3 will this help

I don't understand on which side to put the foam roller because that red line from the picture, which shows the back of the persons back, becomes the opposite side when the red line is transferred to you? If my curve is similar to the person in the illustrated picture, should the foam roller be on my left side?

hey how long it will take to recover

does it make a difference if i lay there for an hour

Has anyone had any measurable results from this? (Cobb of 63°)

How long the time i doing that exercise?

Hi just to clarify, so if my right back is higher than my left, my right side will go on the foam roller right?

Man would this really help me out for my levoconvex scoliosis to straightened out to my normal balanced body ?

does it work if you do it on the floor without the ball?

I wish i found this video last year... Cus i really messed up my back with a different technique..

im confused if i have levoscoliosis(curved to the left) should i put the foam roller under my left or right side?

Anyone get any positive results from this?

can you do this on the floor

Почему на правой стороне лежит?

I have a Scoliosis but it is mainly due to Subluxation of the spine. mainly the Upper/Mid thoracic. I also have a rib portrusion and divot on opposite sides ( The Right goes In, while the Left is out) do you illustrate anything here that could help? I do have the Hip tilt aswell. the same side of my chest that the rib is out on also is larger and painful. any help would be appreciated.

I am 74, have always been very active until about 4 years ago due to torn tendons which made walking etc painful. I’ve had a tendon reconstruction of the hip which has been successful, waiting to have the other side done. I am really interested in the exercises you show and wondered if it is something someone of my age should try. I have had scoliosis since my early teens but it is much more pronounced now. Would appreciate your advice, I’m pretty flexible but am concerned I might make things worse.

This hurts in first time

So can this help make the degree of your curve not as bad? I know not all the way but will it help

Help!!!

Hey guys this is NONSENSE... If you want to fix your scoliosis quickly see a posture restoration specialist ... also if you have jaw issue like your scoli can be fixed with a a bite guard! I know cause i have scolisois and have reduced it a lot !!! Using videos on RU-vid ... 90/90 hips shift will fix the left rib cage issue ... and releasing the right pterygoids will help with the upper back right side pain is

How old is everyone? Asking this because people commenting that they got rid of the issues. As far as I know if you have a severe scoliosis. You might reduce the problems a bit but after the age of 50 it will get worse.

When I am reborn plz no war and I have normal body 😭

hola pongan los vídeos en español

Фото спиной показывают а лежит лицом.

This is highly irresponsible information for anyone with problematic scoliosis. Please speak with a medical professional before trying this!
