Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three‐dimensional spinal deformity thatdevelops in children aged 10‐18, affecting approximately 0.47% to 12% of this population.If left untreated, curves between 10° and 45° may progress, leading to pain, breathingdifficulties, postural problems, and reduced quality of life. Although bracing andsurgery are traditional options, they have limitations. Physiotherapeuticscoliosis‐specific exercises (PSSE), particularly the Schroth method, are increasinglyrecommended as a first‐line conservative treatment.
