His basic statement of "30 minutes a day of exercise could not exert enough force to control a curve", was basically what he thought of our project. He's correct to an extent, but also misses a big principle in muscle physiology, i.e. hypertrophic strengthening.
My one major critique of the whole practice was that bracing seemed to be over-prescribed. I think there were a couple of reasons for that.
Also, I wonder if Schroth always prescribed bracing during growth spurts or if that is a newer aspect. And when was it introduced if newer. It would be very interesting to know that for obvious reasons.
