Level 1 Course

Intensive Practical Course
Corrective Breathing, Exercises & Mobilisations
for Scoliosis and Kyphosis

The PSSE-Schroth Level 1 Course is a 6-day intensive training for physiotherapists who have completed the Basic Course. It marks the transition from theoretical understanding to applied skills, offering a highly practical approach to scoliosis and kyphosis rehabilitation.

This course is designed to provide participants with a strong foundation in the PSSE-Schroth classification system and the application of 3D correction principles through hands-on learning. A significant portion of the course is devoted to practicing corrective breathing techniques, scoliosis- and kyphosis-specific exercises, and mobilisations, giving participants the tools to begin applying the method in their own clinical work.

In addition, participants will observe treatment sessions with real patients, gaining valuable insight into how experienced PSSE-Schroth Instructors apply clinical reasoning and exercise correction in practice.

 

Key elements of the Level 1 Course include:

  • Introduction to the PSSE-Schroth classification system and its clinical application.

  • Intensive practice of corrective breathing, exercises, and mobilisations for scoliosis and kyphosis.

  • Development of clinical reasoning in exercise selection and progression.

  • Observation of real patient treatments, connecting theoretical knowledge with clinical reality.

Completion of the Level 1 Course provides participants with certification as PSSE-Schroth Level 1 practitioners. Graduates are officially listed on our website as Level 1 certified practitioners and can begin applying the PSSE-Schroth method in their clinical practice.
