Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine seen when looking from the front. In most cases the cause is unknown and it is noticed between the ages of 10 and 15, during rapid growth. Fzt. Kemran Hafız carries out postural and spinal assessment and runs the process alongside your orthopaedic doctor.
About your physiotherapist
Fzt. Kemran Hafız provides one-to-one care for scoliosis at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.
It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.
In scoliosis (spinal curvature) accompanying a neurological condition, the problem isn't only the shape of the spine. Loss of trunk control directly affects sitting, breathing capacity and wheelchair use; looking only at the curve and skipping these areas is a common mistake.
Fzt. Kemran Hafız builds the assessment around sitting balance, trunk control and breathing. The programme doesn't promise to change the degree of the curve; it aims to preserve daily-life function and slow deterioration. If a brace is used, exercise is arranged around it, and physician follow-up continues.
In scoliosis accompanying a neurological condition, changing the degree of the curve through exercise isn't a realistic goal. Fzt. Kemran Hafız therefore defines the goal as preserving sitting balance, breathing capacity and daily-life function; slowing deterioration is part of that goal too.
When trunk control weakens, sitting becomes asymmetric, which negatively affects both skin-pressure risk and breathing capacity. Work on sitting balance is especially a priority for patients who use a wheelchair.
Trunk curvature can restrict rib-cage expansion. Breathing exercises partly compensate for this restriction and support daily activity capacity.

Fzt. Kemran Hafız · Bursa Nilüfer. Share your complaint; we plan the process together after the assessment.
A noticeable reduction in the degree of the curve isn't expected; the goal is preserving sitting balance, breathing and daily function.
Yes; the programme is adapted to trunk-control and breathing exercises that can be done while seated.
Yes, wearing a brace doesn't replace exercise; the exercise programme continues during the brace period too, to keep trunk muscles from weakening.
For a rounded back and forward head posture: a programme built on measured mobility and strength.
For pain settling between the shoulder blades that builds through the day: a programme aimed at the source.
For morning stiffness and spinal rigidity: a consistency-based exercise programme that protects mobility.

In adults, changing the scoliosis angle is no longer the goal. The real target is reducing pain, supporting posture and protecting day-to-day capacity.

Generic core exercises can fall short in scoliosis. The Schroth approach teaches a three-dimensional correction specific to the exact pattern of each curve.

Most scoliosis is noticed during the growth years. Detecting it early directly changes both the path taken and the outcome.
