More about our Group Scoliosis Treatments for kids
- Exercise Programs: Sessions include exercises to improve posture, strengthen muscles, and enhance flexibility, with activities customized for each child to ensure they receive the appropriate help and attention.
- Therapeutic Play: Play is integrated into therapy to keep kids engaged and make exercises more interesting, with activities like balance games and obstacle courses promoting movement and coordination.
- Peer Support and Motivation: Sharing experiences, challenges, and successes can be incredibly motivating and reassuring.
- Parental Involvement: Parents are encouraged to join or observe sessions to understand the treatment process and support their child at home, while family education sessions offer guidance on managing scoliosis outside of therapy.
Group Treatments for Teens (Adolescent Scoliosis Treatments)
For teens aged 10 to 18, scoliosis treatment must address both physical and emotional aspects. Group treatments for adolescents create a collaborative and supportive environment where they can manage scoliosis together.
