Physiotherapy
Curve type and degree are taken from the doctor's report; three-dimensional corrective exercises, breathing and posture education are taught, compatible with bracing when used.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my child has scoliosis?
Look for one shoulder or hip higher than the other, a shoulder blade that sticks out, clothes hanging unevenly or a visible curve when your child bends forward. Scoliosis is usually painless in adolescence, which is why it is often noticed by chance. Any of these signs deserves a doctor's examination and, if needed, an X-ray.
Can exercise correct scoliosis?
Scoliosis-specific exercises aim to slow progression, improve posture and breathing, and protect function; a reduction in the curve's degrees is not always expected and cannot be promised. Goals are set together with the treating doctor, who monitors the curve. For some curves a brace is also prescribed, and exercise supports it.
When should scoliosis exercises start?
As soon as the diagnosis is made, ideally while the child is still growing, because that is when the curve is most likely to progress and most responsive to treatment. Adults with scoliosis also benefit, mainly through less pain, better posture and stronger trunk muscles, even if the curve itself stays the same.
What does a scoliosis exercise programme involve?
The programme is built around the specific shape of the curve: three-dimensional corrective postures, breathing into the collapsed side, and strengthening exercises the patient learns to perform independently. Sessions are usually weekly at first, then spaced out once the home routine is established. Regular check-ins track posture and adherence.
Does scoliosis physiotherapy replace the orthopaedic doctor?
No. Scoliosis is diagnosed and monitored by a doctor with periodic X-rays; physiotherapy is the exercise arm of that treatment. Scoliosis exercise sessions in Beylikdüzü work from the doctor's report and curve measurements and share progress notes back. Bring the latest X-ray and report to the first appointment.
