A strong core, flexible spine, and good spinal balance and alignment are the main focus of our comprehensive spinal care. Our physical therapy treatments involve an overall body assessment including lower leg function because we realize that the body is one whole functioning unit and no single joint functions independently. It is important to us that patients understand their spinal condition, how to manage it by moving the correct way in order to achieve and maintain pain relief and/or spinal curve correction. Patient education and follow through is an integral part of our spine rehabilitation.

We offer physiotherapeutic scoliosis specific exercises (PSSE) using the Schroth Best Practice Method.

Schroth Best Practice Method, an evidence based scoliosis treatment, focuses on changing habitual postures in everyday life. Exercises are easy and practical with little to no use for props and other equipment. Patients achieve postural awareness through active self muscle contraction techniques. Exercises are customized according to patient’s curve pattern. We offer one-on-one evaluation and ongoing weekly treatments and limited 2-3 visits 2 hour workshop for out of town patients. Therapy visits can be tailored to your needs, availability, and geographic location. The workshop consists of scoliosis evaluation, patient education to ensure understanding of scoliosis and individual curve pattern and customized home exercise program. A video call is also available for follow up visits. Although video calls are convenient, one-on-one PT follow up visit is strongly recommended as the subtle spinal rotations are easier to detect in an in-person visit appointment. Scoliosis is a 3D deformity and hands-on treatments are highly recommended to optimize corrections in all 3 planes of movements.
