I've been dealing with Schueremann's pain since high school, I'm 34 now and can't work. The pain and all around discomfort this disease causes everyday is unreal. In my case my curve is fusing together itself to try to stabilize it. Doctors know nothing about this but I finally found an SD specialist who knew what he was talking about. Still no good treatments options for us though. These exercises are a waste of time. The only thing that gives me temporary relief is cold laser treatment. Guess there's not much you can do about a deformed spine except take one day at a time.
my Scheurmann's is associated with repeated, juvenile heavy-metal exposure to Mercury. Leg work- squats, stretching, "Thai Massage" - and a lot of meditation have reduced the pain; but. in 40 years I've found ONE professional who has improved my posture, Paul Weston of Orinda, California
Ok, this might work for postural kyphosis but since the bones are the wrong shape to straighten in Scheuermann's disease, I don't see how this can help.
Hopefully, but not what experts say. I bet I can build a brace that can pull it straight. Won't change the wedge, but maybe stretch that ligament a bit.
Strengthen the muscles enough, and they can keep your back from getting worse. Gravity keeps pulling. If you relax into it, it will wedge the disks and collapse even the wedge vertebrae. It will stretch your back muscles and rear ligaments. Strengthen the back, and you can stay where you are at and maybe avoid surgery.
Exactly this. If you have actual Scheuermann's Disease then you can’t put your back against a flat surface. I’m starting to think that nobody understands this disease nor how to treat it. It’s very frustrating.
Since childhood growth, I was told STRAIGHTEN YOUR BACK,; DON'T SLOUCH, DO PRESS UPS, WORK ON STRENGTHENING YOUR BACK MUSCLES. I'm 25 now... "disease" is still there. This video has just brought back all those memories of torturous methods. - a chiropractor West London W2 (outside St Marys Hospital) said physiotherapists are bound to recommend these methods as that's all they can do within their field. And he didn't recommend "STRAIGHTEN YOUR BACK" as that just inflammes the vertebrae.
Hey im 26 now. I have this so called "schuremans disease" Ive been in major pain since i was 15 years old. I was told there isnt a cure for this. The only thing I found that helps is staying active and strengthing your muscles. Its bad enough to have weak bones let alone weak muscles. You need muscle to support your spine. Ive been bes ridden a few times so take my advice. Start with body weight exercise and go from there. SQUATS have been the best thing to ever happen to me.!!
These are classic postural kyphosis exercises and some with Scheuermann's disease may be able to perform these, while others may not. What we don't know is if we can reduce the kyphosis over time by keeping the postural system strong and supportive in those with the disease. It seems logical to try. Adding postural kyphosis on top of Scheuermann's disease will likely exacerbate the anterior end plate of the vertebrae and lead to even more problems down the road.
@allison Marsden, Hi, I am 53 and was diagnosed with Scheuermann's at age 15. Unfortunately I stopped growing at 14, and my condition was left by the wayside, now it is debilitating. I have an appointment with my doctor shortly, but am wondering if these exercises can improve the posture at this stage? Any info you may have would bee most appreciated. - Jennifer
Excellent comment! While we may never be able to correct the actual disease itself, its almost certain that postural kyphosis will continue and increase over time if left unchecked. Increased postural strength and keeping the vertebrae mobile can only increase the quality of life of the individual.
I think you need a custom made brace combined with neck traction and a lot of time lying in it on your back. Then continue wearing the brace to avoid bad posture. If you already are well past 50 degrees, gravity will make it worse any time you are verticle. Recline as much as you can while still exercising and working. You can risk surgery now or wait for advances. I've seen current surgery and would rather wait. I have that luxury at only 45 degrees.
@@ladyjane9980 Jennifer, how is your pain? My Schueremann's was untreated as a teen too. It is a constant problem and limits my life every single day. My pain is relieved by laying down or reclining.
@@jflsdknf My back has been numb for many year and was never treated, so am looking into surgery now. The pain that I do have is nerve pain, specifically pins and needles.
I have this, was xrayed 3 years ago, and it showed rounding in the front of the thoracic vertebrae. I've been looking for a fix ever since! I was in brilliant shape physically before I started getting issues, and the degeneration of my physical form has lead to suicidal thoughts
Nothing will help with the vertebral wedging. It’s a permanent deformity. We’re stuck with it, all we can do is try to slow the degenerative effects. I’m 32 now and it’s starting to kick my ass.
@@jflsdknf sorry to hear about your issue. If you don’t mind me asking how severe was your curve to begin with ? Mine is supposedly mild case of SD however it does cause a lot of tightness on my middle back and I therefore keep doing mobility exercises to maintain flexibility. I know it’s nothing we can reverse but is there anything that can be done to stop it from getting worse as we age ?
@@tim32890 My actual curve is mild, but it's kind of sharp angled, and it has caused 80 degree lordosis below it as my body has tried to compensate. As for helping it I can only speak from my experience, but I would highly advise taking care not to perform strenuous work, anything involving too much twisting or lifting. Even starting in high school jobs like this used to absolutely kill my back and looking back now I never should have done them. I believe it accelerated the arthritis there. Our vertebrae being wedged is much more prone to arthritis from rubbing together.
My understanding is that because Scheuermann's is a result of compressed vertebrae, the only way to reverse it is surgery. On the otherhand, if you have postural kyphosis, then these exercises will work. Are you saying these exercises will help to reduce progression/pain, or are you saying that they will actually reverse the curvature? Interested in your thoughts.
This is necessarily true. I'm 15 and was diagnosed with schuermann's disease 8 months ago and I also have scoliosis. My curve is at 64 degrees so my doctors treatment plan until I am done growing was physical therapy and bracing. We do many of these exercises in physical therapy and I have found that physical therapy is the only way to release the everyday pain for me. You are correct that the only way to reverse it is surgery but with this disease your curve has to at least be at about 72 degrees to do surgery.
You are not totally correct. It is not irrelevant for Scheuermann's in an adolescent who is still growing. If the spaces can be opened up by straightening the spine (through bracing and strength), a spine that is still flexible has the ability to grow bone that expands the wedge-shaped vertebrae in the spaces that were compressed before. This cannot be accomplished in a skeletally mature individual whose spine in completely rigid.
P.S. Both my daughters have scoliosis and one also has kyphosis. The scoliosis is irreversible (but the curve progression can in many places be stopped); the kyphosis is not necessarily.
I have lateral Scheuermann's, which means that my back looked like e question mark from the front, not the side. It took a year and a half to straighten my spine with quiromassage. Although I am straight now, and belive me these excersises are ridiculous for bone and disc malformation, I am left with severe muscle discomfort when standing or walking. If I tried to do this, I'd be screaming in pain!

Good stuff guys. Always enjoyed your videos. Having the luxury of having youtube for educational purposes is great for us PTs. Here in Denmark our education really neglecs physical exercises more than you can imagine which really leaves it up to the PT to self educate in that area.
If gravity can make it worse, maybe stretching devices can stretch that front ligament and make it better. Or is most the worsening just from bone wedging. If just from wedging, the curve would be flexible. The fact it is not proves the ligament shortens over time. That means it can be stretched over time too, if we can design a device to do that. I think I can.
i could not roll on the ball, it hurts like hell. but there is a point, slow rolling is good but on the floor. laying relaxingly on the floor and carefulli rolling on the spine kida pushes my back back to right place. these ecercises on the ball are bit too advanced, but ok on the floor
So, that first exercise feels really, really good -- and triggers inflammation (?) that feels much, much worse the next day. Any tips? (I am beyond your age group.)

Hi, my 10 yr old daughter suffers from scheuermann's disease. Can you recommend exercises that she can do while lying in bed? Need to get some muscles in her arms and legs and her torso, as well. We still don't have diagnosis for her pains in both of her wrist and shoulders, that is why we keep her resting in bed often. Thank you, sirs!
what she needs to do immediately is go to spine doctor and get a sherman’s disease brace. it will completely top the problems before they even begin. and considering she is 10 it is not too late.
I really enjoy your very helpful videos~TY for them~Q.how do I get rid of a trigger point right under my scapula on the back you know right at the bra line for a women~I wake up with it almost daily for 10 yrs. sometimes it goes away but never the same way twice~any help would be so appreciated~☼~
So you can fight against (in a healthy way) it with corrective deadlifting? Speaking of maintaining thoracic extension at the top for a while e.g.? Cool video as usual, keep it up ;)
If you have scheuermann's the process in which you will acquire back muscles will throw the surrounding muscles of targeted vertebrae into inflammation. These methods typically induce more pain to only then reduce.
hey @physicaltherapyvideo i recently had a MRI done and i have mild scheuremanns disease. I have tight hamstrings at night/when resting. would this disease cause tight hamstrings? I have no other sympomts but have been trying to figure out for the last ten years now why my hamstrigs get so tight while resting.
Muscular imbalance sitting in a chair often results in a posterior pelvic tilt which in turn causes the hamstrings to remain in a shortened position. Modern society requires u to basically sit all day.
Sameer Basar i dont sit at all i work construction and my hamstrings are still always tight . more so at night when im laying down trying to sleep.
