When I was first diagnosed with scoliosis, I was told that there was nothing I could do to reduce the curvature of my spine. However, after extensive research, my mom and I discovered Schroth physical therapy, a method of physical therapy designed specifically to combat the effects of scoliosis. Although my doctors were skeptical regarding its effectiveness, I was willing to try anything to help my back. From then on, my family and I drove an hour away to Motion Physical Therapy every Friday. It was one of the only providers of Schroth therapy in the Houston area, but our weekly commute was worth it. Here, I worked closely with my physical therapist, Larry Hixon. He led me through several exercises that were designed to strengthen my core and revert my curve; without his support and guidance, my scoliosis journey would not be the same. I had the chance to interview Mr. Hixon. Below is his response to several questions about Schroth physical therapy.
I would like to thank Mr. Larry Hixon for his time and knowledge. His involvement in my case was monumental in reducing my curvature and increasing my confidence, and I highly encourage you to look into Schroth therapy if you have been diagnosed with scoliosis.
