    Just wanted to say thanks MissEmmy - your posts have me looking into Schroth more than i would have if not for your comments. I've chosen a good program for me over the next two years and think i may have even been given some Schroth exercises to do along with my bracing protocol. Seems like it anyway, will check in a visit i have on Friday with my doc. Was reading the material found at the clinic web site in Germany, seems this has been successful for some following fusion as well.

    Guess you could call me not a good candidate for surgery either, based on many things and as the condition is a life long challenge (for all of us), it's good to know about these things. The 3D perspective is a good one (i think). When you saw Dr. Maramarco, was there discussion of right lateral breathing? Just curious. My doc also has me do an exercise that when "in position" my spine appears to not be effected by scoliosis. Here's the link to the clinic in Germany in case you don't have it: http://www.scoliosistreatment-schroth.com/

    I would like to hear from people using this as well (funny, i may be using some of those exercises and don't even know it - will find out Friday).

      If a person contorts their self in just the right way, they can get their spine to look like an outline of the Virgin Mary.

      Then they sell the radiographs on ebay.

            I guess you should stay if only to monitor the plagiarism levels.

              The point being...

              ...if anyone is still awake out there...

              CD posted a PP presentation from Spinecor showing radiographs with an 11* decrease in a curve produced just by standing funny.

              Now map that onto Schroth... they might be positioning folks to reduce the curve and telling them it is the exercises. It doesn't mean it is real or permanent just as for the Spinecor example.

                      Maybe so! Still, he doesn't suck in the physique department.

                          That's a fine... piece, Ti Ed.

                            The obvious ridicule of mamamax, Schroth, and CLEAR or Spinecor on this page by tx and pooka1 -- typical for them in many, many other threads -- is clear violation of Joe O'Brien's recent post in the Adult/Non-Surgical section, which I am sure was meant to be a warning:

                              It's been civil. Stop trying to misdirect.

                              What would be infinitely more valuable is a rule where people touting various woo-woo treatments should reveal their financial interests in same.

                              You have been asked to reveal yours and you demur. We are allowed to draw conclusions from that.
