Exersizes - Quality not Quantity

EXERCISES: (This post is about the Exercises in the Katharina Schroth scoliosis program)

The kathirina schroth scoliosis program which his done in 4 weeks consists of exercises to strengthen weak muscles on the back, and stretch tightened muscles on the back.

IMPORTANT: While performing these exercises the Quality of how you perform the exercises is more important that the quality (how many reputations) you do.
Get the quality right, then you will be on the right track. There is a certain technique to the exercises

Somebody performing 5 reputations of an exercise in the CORRECT way will a better result than somebody performing 15 reputations of the same exercise in the INCORRECT WAY.

Remember: QUALITY not QUANTITY

Thank you Dr Kris, Dr Amy and Dr Olga

We are at the end of our 4 week exercise programs and have all had great results.

This is down to 2 factors:

1) OURSELVES - working hard in our exercises
2) THE PHISIOS working hard and patiently with us,


so a HUGE THANKS to Dr Kris, Dr Olga and Dr Amy..

Not to forget Erika for opening up this clinic !

3 new physios- Kathrina, Debbie and Ella
There are also 3 new physios starting this course next week with the new batch of 15 scoliotic patients. They are Kathrina, Debbie and Ella. They have been assisting us with our exercises as trainee scolio-physiotheriposts.

Good luck to you all for your future success.

Your Scoliosis DVD - What did you think of yours ?

Have you seen the scoliosis DVD that they filmed for you, for your personal exercises?

What was the first thought when you say yours?

Mine made me laugh, - the music seemed funny for some reason, with Kris speaking in the background lol.

+ in all of my exercises, the person who was exercising next to me that day, their left knee is in all of my video lol.


But i liked the fact that I can see my muscles from behind, so it was a good idea.

Final Consultations - at the end of the 4 weeks

As today was the last day of our 4 week scoliosis exercise program at the clinic, we all had our consultations today, which were 15 minutes each. Dr Olga took the consultations with us.

What was discussed in the consultation?
Before and after measurements (taken on day one, and in the last 'forth' week)

These included
-Pedeoscans = weight distribution on each foot
-Formetric scans = photographic pictures of the muscles at the back
-Vital capacity = lung/breathing capacity
-Height = how tall you are
-Weight = how much you weight
-Scoliometer readings = how big your scoliosis packet/hump is
-photographs =
camera photos

Everybody was pleased in their consultation, and it went well.
