Welcome back to ScoliPod — the show rewriting the rules about living with a curved spine.
Join Dr. Laura and Dr. Beth as they dive into the path to becoming a physical therapist and how some PTs go on to specialize specifically in scoliosis care.
This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered:
- What kind of training physical therapists go through
- How scoliosis-specific certification works
- What to look for when choosing a PT for scoliosis or spinal fusion recovery
What We Cover:
- The journey to becoming a physical therapist in the U.S.
→ What a Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) includes
→ Licensure and specialization options - What makes a scoliosis-specific therapist different
→ The main international training schools (Rigo Concept, SEAS, SSOL, and more)
→ What a Level 1 scoliosis-specific course looks like
→ Why case studies and continued education matter - How scoliosis research continues to evolve
→ The latest findings on exercise, sports participation, and curve management
→ Why it’s essential to work with practitioners who stay current with research - A preview of the upcoming SOSORT Conference, where Dr. Beth and Dr. Laura will bring back the latest scoliosis research updates
Key Takeaways:
- Not all physical therapists have scoliosis-specific training — and that’s okay, but it’s important to know the difference.
- Scoliosis-specific schools require hands-on experience, case studies, and ongoing education.
- Current research supports activity and movement — there’s no single “bad” sport for scoliosis.
- The field is growing rapidly, and staying connected to research keeps care up to date and effective.
