40 research participants were randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control groups.As a result, there was a noticeable improvement in the clinical course of the disease and a decrease in complaints among the participants of the experimental group.In addition, a significant reduction in asymmetry and breast lump was found among SEAS group members compared to the control group.Thus, as a result of the study, it was found that the application of the SEAS method provides better and faster results than traditional methods in the treatment of seconddary scoliosis among adolescents.In addition, although the application of SEAS is convenient in practice, it is a method that requires constant supervision by a specialist.Despite all this, new and larger studies are needed to confirm the results found and determine their effectiveness in the long term. The novelty of the study is that, for the first time, the comparative analysis and effectiveness level of the SEAS method compared to the traditional approach was measured.
