Schroth Method with Core Stabilization Exercises
The Schroth method will focus on postural correction techniques aimed at improving spinal alignment, reducing the curvature of the spine, and enhancing trunk control. Key exercises will include spinal elongation, de-rotation, and specific breathing techniques to help reduce the scoliotic curve. Core stabilization exercises will target the deep trunk muscles, such as the transversus abdominis and multifidus, to improve spinal stability. These exercises will involve bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, and stability balls, aimed at increasing muscle endurance and promoting better posture. The interventions will be performed three times a week for 10 weeks, with each session lasting 60 minutes
Schroth Method
The control group will receive the Schroth method alone, focusing solely on postural correction exercises. These exercises will aim to improve spinal alignment, reduce curvature, and enhance postural control through spinal elongation, de-rotation, and specific breathing techniques designed to address the scoliosis. The control group will not receive any core stabilization exercises in addition to the Schroth method. This intervention will also be performed three times a week for 10 weeks, with each session lasting 60 minutes
