Scoliosis Equipment
Here you will find equipment for the Schroth Method and other Scoliosis Exercise!
STALL BARS
The main piece of exercise equipment for Schroth Method exercises. These are well built and allow you to perform the same exercises as in the clinic.
DOORWAY PULL-UP BAR
These Pull up bars can be used for a variety of scoliosis exercises. If you are not able to do a full stall bar set, this is great option.
BEAN BAGS
We use bean or rice bags to help with corrections in the Schroth Method. These are usually a few different sizes, but these can be stacked to make larger or smaller.
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.
HALF FOAM ROLL
Depending on your curve pattern, exercises in the Schroth Method utilize a half foam roll for support. This is a good quality roll that is not too long.
SPRI BAND
Quite a few exercises in the Schroth Method involve hanging. Looping this Spri Band around the bar can help to lessen the pressure on your hands.
UPRIGHT GO 2
Posture is a very important part of scoliosis treatment. Retraining a forward posture can be especially helpful. This device is designed for that.
DOOR ANCHOR
Door anchors for use with the stretch strap and dowel help to hold secure when doing Schroth specific exercises. They can also be used to anchor the strap when sidelying. Watch the video to see how to set it up.
STRETCH STRAP
This stretch strap can be used for the hanging exercises with Schroth but can also be used for anchoring the pelvis with the gait belt. It is also great for stretching. Watch the video to see how to set it up.
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
If you are handy with tools and want to build your own stall bars, they are not very difficult. It just takes some time, patience, and some equipment. If you need a specific height of stall bars, this may be the best option.
