Scoliosis Explained.

Scoliosis varies a lot from person to person. Here are the basics you should know.

  • Patients may describe one or more of the following:

    • Uneven shoulders or hips

    • One shoulder blade is more prominent than the other

    • Back pain

    • Rib pain

  • Statistics show that approximately 3% of the population are affected by scoliosis. Onset can occur in early childhood but most commonly occur during a growth spurt or during puberty. It is not known what the exact cause is however doctors believe there is a genetic link because it tends to run in families.  

  • Scoliosis can vary a lot from person to person. Our role as physiotherapists is to help prevent the curve from progressing and provide effective, non invasive treatment.

    We also support clients who have already had surgery. In short, we treat all types of spinal conditions, from mild to severe scoliosis as well as other spinal issues.

    Scoliosis treatment focuses on improving posture, strengthening the spine and teaching your body how to move in a more balanced way. We assess your curve, build a personalised program and use targeted exercises, education and posture training to support long term spinal health.

How does a scoliosis specialist treat scoliosis?

Scoliosis treatment depends on the size of the curve and how much more the patient is likely to grow. Children with minor curves may need regular checkups to see if the curve is getting worse as they grow, where as teenagers or adults who have mild curves often don't need treatment.

The PSSE program we use has gained popularity as a non-invasive method for treating scoliosis and other spinal disorders. According to Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT)’s recommendations, PSSE includes the following:

  • Scoliosis Assessment

    A scoliosis assessment identifies your curve pattern, posture, and movement imbalances. This guides your personalised program and ensures each exercise targets the areas that need the most support.

  • Stabilising Posture

    Stabilising the posture with scoliosis exercises and stretches designed to increase the strength and flexibility of the muscles around the spine, supporting better alignment and everyday movement.

  • Person stretching with resistance band in a gym.

    Prone Strengthening

    Prone strengthening activates key muscles that support spinal alignment and stability, helping correct imbalances and improve overall posture control, coordination, strength, mobility, and balance.

  • Sitting Drills

    Sitting drills help train pelvic alignment and postural awareness in everyday positions. They support better spinal control and reinforce healthy habits throughout daily activities and movement.

  • A person receiving a chiropractic adjustment or massage on their upper back by a practitioner.

    Training & Education

    Educating patients about scoliosis and the importance of exercises and posture awareness, then training them to self-correct the spine in three dimensions during both exercises and daily activities.

Scoliosis Treatment FAQ

  • Your first appointment includes a full review of your history, symptoms, and any previous treatment. We then complete a detailed physical assessment, posture measurements, and, when available, review your full-spine X-ray.

    At the end of the session, you’ll receive a clear diagnosis, scoliosis classification, and a personalised treatment plan.

  • We assess your curve pattern, posture, mobility, and muscle imbalances using a combination of visual assessment, posture-related measurements, functional testing, and X-ray review where appropriate.

  • This program uses targeted, scoliosis-specific exercises designed to improve posture, spinal alignment, strength, and movement control. Each program is tailored to your curve type and daily needs.

  • Scoliosis management is suitable for children, teens, and adults with mild, moderate, or long-standing curves.

    It supports people with pain, postural changes, or those wanting to better manage their condition conservatively.

  • While exercise-based programs may improve posture, mobility, and comfort, the goal is primarily to manage symptoms and support long-term spinal health. Curve reduction depends on age, flexibility, growth, and curve severity.

  • Many people notice improved posture, awareness, and movement within the first few sessions. Long-term changes depend on the consistency of exercises, the severity of your curve, and your individual goals.

  • No referral is required. You can book directly for an Initial Scoliosis Consultation or follow-up exercise sessions whenever you're ready.
