The interest was remarkable, with more than 1,100 registrations from professionals worldwide, highlighting the strong global demand for innovative, evidence-based scoliosis care.
The webinar provided a clear overview of the PSSE-Schroth method, including:
The PSSE-Schroth classification system and its application in clinical decision-making and treatment planning.
Presentation of treatment results from real patient cases, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method in improving curve stabilization, posture, and aesthetics.
Key differences between PSSE-Schroth and other Schroth-based methods, emphasizing the integration of Pilates equipment, yoga-inspired movements, and TRX in the 3D correction concept.
An outline of the PSSE-Schroth educational pathway, from Basic to Level 1, Level 2, and the Masters Course, ensuring a structured and comprehensive learning journey for physiotherapists.
The PSSE-Schroth method stands out as the only scoliosis-specific exercise approach that systematically integrates traditional Schroth principles with modern movement sciences, Pilates equipment, and functional training tools. It offers both adolescents and adults an evidence-based, innovative, and highly individualized treatment strategy.
This webinar remains an essential introduction for anyone interested in becoming certified in PSSE-Schroth and joining the international community of professionals advancing non-operative scoliosis and kyphosis care.
