Katharina Schroth (February 22, 1894 – February 19, 1985)^[1] was a German physiotherapist, best known for developing the Schroth Method to treat scoliosis.

Kathrina Schroth was born in Dresden, Germany with scoliosis, and at age 16 began use of a thoracic brace, a common treatment to prevent further curving of the spine. She was dissatisfied with how the brace restricted movement and was not fully effective, so sought to find other treatment options for her condition. Through a process of self-experimentation, she developed techniques involving specific breathing methods, improving postural perception, and specific postural corrective movements. Later these techniques became the basis for the Schroth method, which was shared among physiotherapy institutions to treat other patients. The Schroth method set the precedent for how other related techniques were developed.^[2]^[3] For this work, Schroth was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit by the Federal Republic of Germany.^[1]

Scroth opened two institutions to treat patients with the Scroth Method. The first, in 1921, was Breathing Orthopedics in Meissen.^[2]^[3]^[1] This was followed by one in Sobernheim.^[2]^[3]^[1] Schroth's second institute was passed down to her daughter, Christa Lehnert-Schroth, and later to her grandson, Dr. Hans-Rudolf Weiss, MD. Nowadays, Dr. Weiss now has his own practice, where he uses modified versions of his grandmother’s techniques to treat those with scoliosis.
