What is Kyphosis?
Scheuermann's Disease, a structural condition characterized by abnormal curvature of the spine, often presents challenges related to posture, discomfort, and reduced spinal flexibility. At our outpatient physical therapy clinic, we understand the nuanced nature of Scheuermann's Disease and employ evidence-based interventions to address its specific symptoms, aiming to enhance overall spinal health and quality of life.
Signs and Symptoms of Kyphosis
Individuals with Scheuermann's Disease commonly experience thoracic kyphosis, leading to a rounded upper back and potential discomfort. Our approach involves tailored interventions, including targeted exercises, postural correction, and patient education.
Physical Therapy for Kyphosis
Therapeutic exercises focus on strengthening the muscles around the spine, especially the core and upper back, to counteract the excessive curvature. Postural correction techniques are employed to raise awareness and encourage proper alignment, aiding in the reduction of spinal deformity. Patient education encompasses lifestyle modifications, ergonomic principles, and at-home exercises, empowering individuals to actively participate in the management of their condition.
