If your child has recently been diagnosed with scoliosis, it’s natural to feel concerned. Our Friday Scoliosis & Fitness classes are designed to offer clear guidance and supportive care in a calm, encouraging environment.

At Canada Scoliosis & Neuro Centre, we offer Group Scoliosis & Fitness classes specifically for children and teens. Held every Friday, these sessions focus on posture, movement, and confidence, combining expert guidance with exercises proven to support scoliosis management.

During rapid growth, this scoliosis training program helps instill healthy spinal habits and may reduce curve progression. Adolescents with scoliosis often experience uncertainty about how to move safely and stay active. Our goal is to provide consistent, age-appropriate guidance in a supportive environment, reinforcing what they’ve learned in 1:1 sessions and helping them feel confident in their bodies. This early, proactive support can make a lasting difference in both physical and emotional well-being.

Led by our experienced physiotherapists including Samantha Paige and Fariba Taheri. Our program blends targeted activities, peer support, parent involvement, and a simple home exercise plan.

Why We Focus on Children and Teenagers

Growing Spines, Growing Potential

Scoliosis is most commonly diagnosed during childhood and adolescence; a time when the spine is still developing and responds well to targeted exercises. Early group practice helps reinforce healthy posture habits and provides essential support during growth spurts.

Supporting Each Other

Participating in a group with others facing similar challenges promotes encouragement, confidence, and motivation. Our small-group setting offers a supportive space where children and teens can thrive while parents gain peace of mind knowing their child is in caring hands.

How Schroth Makes a Difference

Schroth is a proven method that combines tailored stretches, guided breathing, and posture cues matched to each child’s spine curve.

Clinical trials show consistent Schroth practice over several months—even in a group—can improve spinal alignment and posture.

Four Pillars of Our Group Program

Pillar What to Expect
1. Targeted Exercise Programs Moves that build posture, strengthen back and core muscles, and enhance flexibility tailored to each child’s curve and growth stage.
2. Engaging Therapeutic Activities Balance drills and obstacle-style challenges reinforce posture awareness in a supportive setting.
3. Peer Support & Motivation Sharing milestones and hurdles in a small group fosters confidence and reminds every child they’re not alone.
4. Parental Involvement Parents may observe or join sessions and attend short workshops to reinforce healthy habits at home.

Between classes, each child follows a simple exercise home program to build on in-session gains.
