Therapy
Treatment of Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a diagnosis that makes people think of many undesireable things
– back pain, bracing, surgery, disfiguration. What people may not realize is that often a diagnosis of scoliosis leads to a course of orthopedic physical therapy. S.T.A.R. PT has been practicing a somewhat unique approach to conservatively treating scoliosis. We understand that we will not be able to completely correct the spinal curvature in idiopathic scoliosis, but we believe that much can be gained from a program to manage the curvature by reducing musculoskeletal torsion and improving the mechanics of the thorax.
