The analysis of literature sources on the etiology, pathogenesis, basic methods of treatment and physical therapy of children with scoliosis of II degree. It has been shown that the main objectives of physical therapy for scoliosis are to prevent further progression of the deformity, strengthen the muscular corset, prevent or treat spinal pain, improve aesthetics by correcting posture, improve respiratory function and cardiovascular health. The program of physical therapy of teenage children with scoliosis of the II degree which contains four consecutive stages is offered: adaptive, the first and second training and advanced.

It is also necessary to use the IFF-DP, which allows you to consider not only the diseases and problems of the child, but also a person who has their own needs and opportunities to realize their potential in everyday life. Systematic evaluation of treatment effectiveness, testing and modification of methods in the course of therapy is also very important for the success of treatment.
