Conservative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis, especially kinesitherapy, is not widely appreciated due to its suspected low effectiveness in relation to a surgical treatment. After long-year assessment of patomechanics of scoliosis in Department of Rehabilitation of Medical University of Silesia a conservative method of treatment, asymmetric trunk mobilization in strictly symmetric positions, was developed. This method enables to detain progression of scoliosis, or even decrease lateral curvature of a spine and angle of rotation assuming adequate cooperation of patient and its family.
