Educate, Restore Function, and STOP THE PROGRESSION Today!

The first goal of Stop the Progression is simple: to educate and equip individuals with practical tools and strategies to better understand and manage scoliosis, posture, and pain.

Stop Guessing, Start Understanding Your Body

Created by a Schroth Trained Physical Therapist and scoliosis momma, Melinda Paulsell, Stop the Progression is more than an educational platform—it is a comprehensive, one of a kind, whole-body approach designed to help individuals better understand how posture, movement, breathing, balance, body awareness, and daily habits influence their health and function. By identifying often-overlooked contributors to pain, dysfunction, and progressive postural asymmetries, individuals can build a stronger foundation for long-term health while helping to prevent future pain, reduce the progression of existing symptoms, and support lifelong movement and function.
