SEAS - Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis

About the SeAS ApproAch:The principles of SEAS are based on a specific form of auto-correction (termed active self-correction), that is taught individually

to each single patient, and then associated with stabilising exercises that include neuromotor control, proprioceptive training

and balance. The exercises are also incorporated into daily living activities. SEAS approach is also characterised by a cognitive-

behavioural approach towards the patient and his family to maximise compliance to treatment. The aim with SEAS exercises is

to avoid or at least postpone bracing, and to arrive at the end of growth with a presumably stable curvature. When a brace has

already been prescribed, exercises are mandatory in order to avoid all side effects of bracing, to increase its function, and to

allow the spine to be stable during the weaning period and when the brace is discontinued.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

•  Understand background of SEAS approach and the underlying scientific principles.

•  How to perform the clinical and postural evaluation of the scoliosis patient.

•   Understand  what  three-dimensional  self-correction  is,  and  the  step-by-step  approach  to  teach  individualised  self-

correction to the patient.

•   Learn how self-correction is performed for different types of deformities: thoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbar, double curve, 

hyperkyphosis; correlation with the radiographic and postural evaluation, as well as on observed asymmetries.

•  Learn how to manage the cognitive-behavioural approach to patient and family.

•   Understand the role of exercises within the SEAS approach, and the criteria used to choose them for an individualised
