Schroth Method 101 for Students, Therapists, & Parents!
Dr. Katie Blanchard is a scoliosis specialist and Schroth Method Physical Therapist. She takes the Schroth Method and breaks it down into understandable concepts for DPT students, generalist physical therapists, and parents. The goal is to introduce the Schroth Method and scoliosis specific exercise to clinicians & parents so that they know the basics to "do no harm" when treating clients with either a primary or secondary diagnosis of scoliosis. We hope that therapists will gain interest in the Schroth Method and pursue certification after learning the basics in Dr. Katie's lecture. More Schroth PTs are needed to meet the demand of patients, and we hope to change that!
