Almost all "old" rehabilitation exercises were wrong - except the exercises of Mrs. Renate Tomaschewski MD PhD and Mrs. Barbara Popp in Germany. See the book: Tomaschewski R., Popp B.: "Die Funktionelle Behandlung der beginnenden idiopathischen Skoliose".

The wrong exercises were:

all exercises in prone position,

all extension exercises,

all strengthening exercises,

all of - "proper posture" exercises

and all presented in all "old articles and all old orthopaedic books" for the  conservative therapy of scoliosis - through many years - till now.

 

1/ Such "old" treatments were "the additional jatrogenic causes/reasons" of the development/progression of scoliosis:

 

2/ Such "old" exercises  were the causes of the fixation of "stiffness of the spine",  

 

3/ Such "old" exercises  were the causes of the development/progression of curves in every type of scoliosis (I epg, II/A epg, II/B epg),

 

4/ "Old" extension exercises  were the causes of the progression of curves and hump/gibbous costalis in I epg (Malawski, Karski and others).

 

Now is the time coming - to introduce in every country, for a every child - with "beginning of scoliosis" or only "danger of scoliosis" - the proper exercises - streching exercises - typical for / similar like - in  karate, like in kung fu, in tai chi, in aikido, in taekwondo, joga e.g.
