If you’ve recently learned your child has scoliosis, you may feel worried. Small-group posture sessions can provide calm guidance and steady support.
Canada Scoliosis & Neuro Centre offers small group Schroth sessions for children aged 10–18. These sessions provide gentle guidance and proven exercises to support better posture and build confidence.
During rapid growth, this scoliosis training program helps steer healthy spine habits and may reduce curve progression.
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 Ages 10-18 are Key
Growing Spines, Growing Potential
Adolescent scoliosis is usually diagnosed between ages 10 and 18, when the spine grows quickly and is more adaptable to targeted exercises.
Early group practice helps shape healthier posture habits and supports strengthening for scoliosis during growth spurts.
Supporting Each Other
Practicing with peers facing similar challenges encourages teamwork and shared motivation. A small-group setting eases worry by offering a caring community for both children and parents.
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.
