Three-dimensional treatment for scoliosis has been used in Germany since 1921. Mrs. Kathrine Schroth first created this method after using it for 11 years, bringing together a lot of information and creating a mosaic of teachable methods. This treatment method was introduced by the physiotherapist Sonja Hansen in English-speaking countries. The treatment of three-dimensional scoliosis by Mrs. Kathrine Schort has been determined by many countries and medical authorities from time to time and is considered to be a reliable method because of its focus on respiration.

In this method, the patient should be persuaded and motivated for the importance of the method he uses.

Three-dimensional treatment is more successful in patients with scoliosis due to puberty. The difficulty encountered here is that personality has not yet been established in these ages. Therefore the physiotherapist should overcome the difficulties by using pedagogical and physiological abilities. One of the reasons for this treatment is to design exercise with corrective effect according to the direction of curvature in all three planes.

The goal is permanent changes in the posture.

The goal of the three-dimensional scoliosis treatment is to provide three-dimensional correction.

Principles:

• Correct spinal rotation and increase lung capacity by regional breathing techniques
• Correction of spinal posture with isometric exercises, breathing techniques and pelvic correction exercises
• Ensuring and maintaining the correct posture during therapy and in daily life,
• Strengthening of legs, feet, back and abdominal muscles.
