Change is not defined by age.
It begins with what is possible.
We work with people aged 5 to 40 and with mild, moderate and severe scoliosis — always in the context of diagnosis and medical care.

Who we help
The size of the curve does not remove the right to careful, intelligent care.
Support for mild, moderate and severe scoliosis.
The therapy may support people with curves of different sizes, provided that goals and safety are assessed individually. The current condition of the spine should be monitored objectively by an independent physician.
If a patient notices improvement, this is not a reason to change brace use independently. Decisions about a brace always belong to the treating doctor. Our role is to support movement, perception and the gradual learning of a new postural pattern.
Who we help
Earlier can mean more time — but adulthood does not end the possibility of change.
We work with people from 5 to 40 years of age.
Starting early can be valuable, especially during growth. Adults, however, should not assume that nothing can be improved.
The nervous system remains capable of learning. The realistic scope and objective of therapy are defined after an individual assessment.

Child • teenager • adult
Every age has different needs.
Every patient has a different starting point.
We work with people aged 5 to 40, but age alone is never a treatment plan. Diagnosis, development, spinal presentation and the person’s abilities all matter.
01 / 5–12
Child
First feel it. Then understand it.Work should be clear, repeatable and suited to the child’s development. Parents receive practical guidance for safe support and home practice.
02 / 13–18
Teenager
Change during growth.This stage requires particularly careful monitoring and medical cooperation. Therapy gradually builds independence, awareness of correction and its use in everyday movement.
03 / 18–40
Adult
It is not too late to work on change.Neuroplasticity does not end with adolescence. Scope and realistic goals are set individually from the current condition, abilities and needs.
First step
You do not need to know exactly what you need.
That is what the consultation is for.
A conversation is a sensible starting point when the diagnosis raises questions, the spine is changing or the current route no longer feels clear.
- 01
After a diagnosis or suspected scoliosis
A consultation helps organise records, assess the current situation and identify sensible options.
- 02
When successive examinations show change
Comparable radiographs help the physician monitor the spine objectively and guide further treatment.
- 03
When a brace is being used
Exercise can accompany bracing. Decisions to start, change or reduce brace use always belong to the physician.
- 04
When correction is difficult to maintain
It is worth checking whether the patient can recognise, reproduce and gradually use the new position in daily life.
Important / safety
Diagnosis comes first.
Then the right path.
Radiological monitoring, bracing and any changes to brace use remain medical decisions.
