Sensory therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals better process and respond to sensory stimuli from their environment. It aims to improve sensory integration, reduce sensitivities, and enhance overall functioning.
Often used for individuals with sensory processing difficulties, such as those with autism or other developmental conditions, sensory therapy involves activities and exercises that stimulate or regulate the senses, helping individuals achieve greater comfort, focus, and emotional regulation in daily life.

Developed by Katharina Schroth, this method focuses on personalized, three-dimensional exercises that aim to de-rotate, elongate, and stabilize the spine.
It also incorporates breathing techniques to enhance lung capacity and muscle balance. The Schroth Method helps individuals with scoliosis manage their condition, improve their posture, and increase overall spinal strength and flexibility.

It uses tactile cues and hand prompts to guide and support precise movements of the lips, tongue, and jaw, helping clients develop clearer, more accurate speech sounds.
