STOOL

In the Schroth Method, there are a few exercises that use a small stool to keep the leg up. This stool is a good height for most people and is sturdy.

YOGA MAT

Many Schroth Method exercises are done lying on the floor. If your floor is not soft, it is nice to have a good yoga mat to cushion the floor.

Want to make scoliosis equipment yourself? DIY?

Some of our patients choose to make stall bars and rice bags themselves. If you are used to woodworking and sewing, this may be the option for you. Making things from scratch can allow for more customization. The key is to have the equipment that you need.

HOMEMADE STALL BARS
