Summary

The goal of this research study is to learn about the comparison of Stretching Methods in individuals with scoliosis aged of 14-65, who receive intervention Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and Passive Stretching. The main question it aims to answer is: Does ankle exercise lower knee joint proprioception and pain in individuals with knee pain? Does intervention Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation affect the position of the head, endurance of the spine in individuals with scoliosis? Researchers will compare Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (the intervention) with Passive Stretching (as part of their regular medical care for scoliosis) to determine if Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation is effective in improving the position of the head, endurance of the spine. Participants will be asked to do exercises and to let the researchers to take their measurements.
