It's that flexibility increase, not engendered by Schroth on its own, that has persuaded me to start Tamzin at ballet. She loved her first class this evening. She's going along tomorrow night--the teacher wants to put her in a GRADE 4 class, whatever that means? Two Royal ballet school juniors at the class tonight really fired Tamzin's competitive juices.
We did 30 minutes of Pilates beforehand. Instructor was very knowledgeable on scoliosis. Explained opening up the intervertebral disks posteriorly very well; if the anterior overgrowth (genetic or caused by asymmetric growth plate pressure) theories hold water, addressing that spine flexibility asymmetry is crucial. She also gave me a humbling lecture on physiology--I wanted to take notes!
It's great that you've found someone knowledgable about scoliosis for Pilates for your daughter. That will hopefully help her. It will certainly strengthen her!

Our first Schroth treatment
We had our first pre-treatment today. That is, part of the series before we depart for our month long venture. The therapist suggested two times/week before we go, which will be beneficial, I'm sure. We'll get a few extra learning sessions in before the intensive. Eleven more days until we get the Cheneau brace. Erin is in SUCH a growth spurt I agonize every time a friend says, "Oh, look how much she's grown since Christmas!" or some other recent date. augh. I will be able to rejoice in all of her growth AFTER January 24th!Emily, 43

Just looked him up Sharon, his last post Jan 2011. Informative post: Boston at night, SpineCor in day, substantial correction at 15 mnths. He also used a chiropractor, I see. We'll give it another seven weeks with Tamzin in the SpineCor, get an in-brace x-ray (with shields used!!!) and make some decisions then. I'm concerned at the moment with POSSIBLE lack of sizeable lateral correction, but am POSSIBLY (?) pleased with the derotation emphasis. Time-bomb ticking keeps me antsy, but I don't want to rigidify the T curve by applying too much lateral pressure before derotation. The Cheneau, however, DOES derotate AND apply lateral pressure. (The Michael poster used a Boston--much revamped I'd imagine and, as he says, hugely dependent on the skill of the orthotist.)
PS: Mr Mills looked at Tamzin's x-ray of that nightmarish night-time brace we used for a night. He was shocked at how dangerous it was.07/11: (10yrs) T40, L39, pelvic tilt, rotation T15 & L11

What we learned first day
[QUOTE=TAMZTOM;133576]Excellent. Interested in what they focused on. At our introduction, the therapist battered straight into exercising, almost assuming Tamzin knew everything. I'm sure that the Germans did a much better prep session with you and the clinic itself has a great reputation. I'm Eager to hear how they proceeded today.
So, the therapist (Susanne) brought out a skeleton model and we went over some body parts in English and German, talked about what is going on in Erin's chest, and what we would work on with breathing. I expect we'll get more of these lessons at successive therapies, but there is only so much time and we will learn a bit at a time as we introduce new information. Our therapist speaks English but we want to know the German terminology as well so that we can get around better in Bad Sobernheim.
There, the first week of therapy is individualized and will be in english, but then the group sessions after the first week will be in German, mostly. So many words are the same, and by then we will be familiar with the methodology and practicing what we've learned.
Anyway, back to the treatment... Then she had Erin lay down and positioned her arms up (left) or down (right, ) adjusted her hips, and worked on having Erin breathe audibly with her. Deep breaths in, longer exhalations, and Susanne kept her hand where she wanted Erin to try to breath into (left lung/ thoracic area.) Susanne recommended 2x/ week therapy before we go to the klinik. I also need to get four beanbags of 200 grams each to help position/ place against Erin's body.
We have begun.Emily, 43
