🦴🌍 Happy World Osteoporosis Day! 🌍🦴
Did you know osteoporosis weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break? It’s often called the "silent disease" because many don’t realize they have it until a fracture occurs. That’s why prevention and early care are key!

We’re excited to share that our Schroth Physical Therapist, Caroline Campesi, is BoneFit certified, meaning that she is trained in the best exercise practices for those with low bone mass (osteopenia and osteoporosis). Whether you’re looking to prevent osteoporosis or improve your bone health, Caroline’s expertise ensures safe and effective care! 💪🦴

✨ Adult scoliosis may not be easy to treat, but Barbara's story is proof that transformation is possible! 💪

Barbara, now in her 70s, began her Schroth journey with us last year, determined to manage her scoliosis. In just 9 months, through consistent Schroth exercises and hard work, Barbara's posture has reshaped dramatically. Her torso is now aligned, her head is centered with her pelvis, and the collapsing on her left side has improved significantly. 🙌
While adult spines aren’t as flexible as adolescent ones, Barbara’s progress shows that strength training, commitment, and proper care can still make a profound difference. Schroth isn’t about making unrealistic promises—it’s about real, personalized results, just like Barbara's.

If you're living with adult scoliosis, be inspired by Barbara. The work is worth it, and your spine can improve with dedication! 🌀

Read Barbara’s full journey on our blog and discover how the Schroth Method can help you, too.

Torso Re-Shaping: Adult Edition | Schroth DC When we work with adults who are profoundly “correcting” their posture and re-shaping their torsos we are metaphorically jumping up and down with joy. Because, like so often happens in medicine, even if the research isn’t holding up, the anecdotal evidence can be powerful.

Life After Scoliosis Surgery: What to Expect
Scoliosis surgery can be daunting, but it's often crucial for improving lung capacity and overall quality of life. At Schroth DC, we dive deep into why surgery may be necessary and the various options available, like Spinal Fusion and Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT). While surgery addresses spinal deformities, Physical Therapy, especially the Schroth Method, plays a key role in recovery. It helps retrain muscles, support the spine, and build confidence for a smoother transition back to daily activities. Read more here https://loom.ly/xYWDEXM

Remember, the journey doesn’t end with surgery—it’s just the beginning of a new chapter. For support and guidance, reach out to our team at Schroth DC. We’re here to help you “Live the Life You Want”! 💪

Life After Scoliosis Surgery | Schroth DC Spinal surgery can be scary, but life after spinal surgery for scoliosis doesn’t have to be. In fact, we hope that life after scoliosis surgery (for those who need it) is actually better.
