The following is a listing of Canadian physiotherapy clinics and certified physiotherapists who provide physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE), including programs based on the Schroth method, for paediatric and adult patients diagnosed with scoliosis, kyphosis, and other spinal conditions. The Schroth method is a structured, non-surgical exercise approach developed in Germany in the early 20th century and subsequently refined to integrate postural correction principles and, in some settings, coordination with orthotic bracing.

PSSE approaches, including Schroth-based programs, are used internationally and are among several exercise-based strategies described in the literature for conservative scoliosis management. Available evidence suggests that PSSE may provide benefits in selected patients, particularly as an adjunct to standard non-operative care, with reported effects on posture, trunk asymmetry, and patient-reported quality-of-life outcomes. Evidence regarding their impact on curve progression varies across studies, and PSSE are not considered a replacement for bracing in progressive scoliosis.

In Canada, access to Schroth-based PSSE may be limited by the availability of certified physiotherapists, geographic distribution of services, and out-of-pocket costs, which can pose barriers for some families. The Schroth method is not routinely included in undergraduate physiotherapy curricula in Canadian universities, and certification requires additional postgraduate training.

Families are encouraged to discuss conservative treatment options with their health-care providers to determine the most appropriate management strategy based on curve magnitude, skeletal maturity, and individual patient factors.
