Supervised or home exercises for scoliosis in teens
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing scoliosis-specific exercises (Schroth exercises) to see if doing them at home works as well as doing them with a therapist. Teens with mild to moderate scoliosis may improve their posture and spine curve.
