Background: Scoliosis is a spinal deformity affecting three planes: lateral bending in the frontal plane, vertebral rotation in the horizontal plane, and spine flattening in the sagittal plane. Various types of scoliosis can occur throughout a person's life.

Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the Strauss Method in reducing the Cobb angle in patients with scoliosis.

Methodology: A two-week regimen combining Schroth, SEAS, yoga, and stretching exercises was administered. The patient's condition was evaluated using the Cobb angle and a scoliometer both before and after the treatment.

Result: There was a notable improvement in both the Cobb angle and scoliometer measurements compared to the pre-assessment, with a significant change observed in the Cobb angle.

Conclusion: The study concluded that the Strauss Method is effective for treating patients with mild scoliosis.
