At Neurocore, our Schroth Physiotherapy program is tailored to support individuals with Scoliosis, Kyphosis and Pectus Excavatum through a personalized, evidence-informed approach.
Our Training
Carole Chebaro, Physiotherapist, and Nicole Mele, Registered Kinesiologist, are both trained and certified in the Schroth Method under Andrea Lebel—Canada’s first Schroth Physiotherapist, personally selected by Christa Lehnert-Schroth, daughter of founder Katharina Schroth.Since 2023, Carole and Nicole have been applying the SSOL Schroth Scoliosis method—rooted in the original Schroth method working with children to older adults. The Schroth Method is evidence-based and follows established guidelines of the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) and the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT).
