Este protocolo aplica-se a pacientes com 10 a 17 anos de idade com escoliose idiopática, ângulo de Cobb de 10° a 20° e sinal de Risser de 0 a 3 — uma curvatura espinhal leve em um indivíduo esqueleticamente imaturo, onde interromper a progressão é a prioridade clínica definidora.
O manejo nesta fase centra-se em exercícios fisioterapêuticos específicos para escoliose — um programa de exercícios especializado com foco na correção espinhal em três dimensões. O protocolo completo descreve a estrutura e os requisitos na íntegra.

It is recommended not to apply bracing to treat patients with curves below 15° ± 5° Cobb, unless otherwise justified in the opinion of a clinician specialized in conservative treatment of spinal deformities.
Under 10° of scoliosis, the diagnosis of scoliosis should not be made.
Physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises are recommended as the first step to treat idiopathic scoliosis to prevent/limit progression of the deformity and bracing.
It is recommended that physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises follow SOSORT Consensus and are based on auto-correction in 3D, training in ADL, stabilizing the corrected posture, and patient education.
The study found that scoliosis-specific active self-correction and task-oriented exercises, consistent with SEAS approach, improved Cobb angles by 5.3° at skeletal maturity and that traditional exercises were associated with stable curves.
In the intention-to-treat analysis, on average, the largest Cobb angle decreased by 1.2° in the Schroth and increased by 2.3° in the control group over 6 months, and this difference was statistically significant.
