Interventions

OTHERtraction and mobilization

The patient undergoes a 15-minute infrared therapy session, followed by flexibility and stretching exercises targeting the trunk and four extremities muscles. Land manipulation techniques are used for cervical, dorsal, and lumbar spine to assess and treat spinal dysfunctions. Deep breathing exercises with rib mobilization are also performed to promote respiratory function and thoracic flexibility. The session aims to improve overall health.

OTHERactive exercise therapy

Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis will receive exercise programs from seven major schools under SOSORT, focusing on realigning the spine, rib cage, shoulders, and pelvis to normal anatomical postures.
