Kioko Therapy

Does work? 🧐

Schroth is amazing - I cannot emphasize that enough. Schroth has changed not only the lives of my patients; it has elevated + transformed my life, my understanding of and approach to human movement. 🧠

Many factors that play into outcomes, especially precision of exercises, patient compliance, and therapist experience. Having been a therapist for 26 years, treating + teaching Schroth day in + day out for 11 yrs, I’ve learned 👉🏻Schroth only works if you do! 👈🏻

So happy for and proud of this teen! Thank you for your dedication and fun, and to your family for their support and permission to share. Your work and out ones inspire all of us!! WAY TO GO! 🎉💪🏼💙

Our Week of WOW continues with adults!

Schroth is not a breathing method, but establishing harmonious physiologic breathing is foundational if our ultimate goal is to reshape the rib cage, torso and spine.

This patient is incredibly dedicated to his daily, exercise, so introducing him to Schroth wasn’t a challenge, but shifting his breathing habit from mouth breathing to nasal breathing was serious work! Once he was able to that, everything became easier.

Notice especially the difference in his sternocleidomastoid muscle!

Huge thanks to this patient for his dedication, his curiosity to always learn, and his permission to share these pics!

Schroth Only Works If You Do 💙💪🏼
Week of WOW Day 4!

Schroth is truly something that must be experienced to understand and integrate in our mind, in our heart, and in our tissues from the inside out. Appreciating this work requires consistency and dedication over time.

We are all amateurs before we can become masters.

We all start from the same place, and with each experience, each lesson, we build on our knowledge, our understanding, and our capacity to grow. Adhikara is an exquisite term in Sanskrit meaning “preparation” - as we build on our knowledge and understanding of a particular area, we prepare ourselves to see + experience what others cannot. When we do the raw, hard, organic work, we ultimately create tremendous freedom in our minds, our bodies, + our lives.

The goal of Schroth is to stabilize curves + keep them from progressing, whether that applies to a growing teen or to an adult who may be having to fight harder against gravity. We look at things both clinically (“in the skin”) + radiologically (what’s happening beneath the skin).

Our goal is to improve not only the 3D orientation of the spine, rib cage and torso, but stabilize + improve (when possible) the radiological qualities of posture.

When we look at X-rays, there is so much more than just Cobb to consider! Looking at:

• How close the apex is from central sacral line (CSL)
• Any reduction/improvement in vertebral rotation
• Any increase space b/t vertebrae (less compression)
• Trunk balance relative to the CSL
• Pelvic shift towards midline

👆🏻are a few qualities to consider when looking at X-rays to see if the curve is working towards greater stability.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼to this young lady whose forward thinking attitude, steady approach, + sense of fun inspire us all. Because she shows up for herself, she’s the one that wins. That’s what it’s all about + that is exactly how we do it! Thank you to this incredible teen for her dedication, her commitment, her sense of humor, and her permission to share her outstanding work!
