Rehabilitation is the application of a comprehensive set of treatment methods aimed at restoring functional abilities that have been lost completely or, in some cases, limited, due to congenital or acquired, permanent or temporary impairments.
Rehabilitation is not the application of standard procedures — it requires an individual approach to every patient. The main goals are to reduce the physical impairment as much as possible and to encourage the patient to stay active within their own physical capacity.
In the treatment of scoliosis, rehabilitation serves to stabilize the vertebrae and strengthen the muscular corset. Techniques selected individually for each patient are applied.
