Adults

Is BSPTS-Rigo Concept scoliosis specific exercise for adults? Yes!  The answer is 'yes' when you:
  • were diagnosed with a curve in your spine as a kid and now you are an adult
  • are an adult learning for the first time that your spine has scoliosis
  • had surgery as a kid or an adult
  • have pain
  • want to learn about how you can help your spine during normal aging
  • want to know what activities are best or not best for your spine
  • if you are not sure if you are a fit, let’s do a free consult to find out

The training that we provide at SAPT is holistic.  First, it is directed at teaching you about your specific curve and how to use scoliosis specific exercises from BSPTS-Rigo Concept, which is based on the principles of the Schroth Method. The BSPTS-Rigo Concept incorporates three-dimensional curve-specific exercises to help decrease the risk of curve progression, improve postural awareness, reduce pain, increase strength, and improve breathing and body mechanics. This exercise approach helps educate and motivate with an overall goal of improving the whole person's quality of life.  

The exercises help to stabilize the spine while creating mobility in your body only where you need it.  Additionally, we discuss and solve for your current observations about your abilities and activities.  We aim encourage you to keep doing the activities that you love to do and/or have to do, but also teach you how to do these activities or responsibilities better. 

Each adult needs a carefully developed program.  The number of visits or hours that it takes to do this depends on your specific needs.  We will learn about your needs at your free consult.  We will discuss your history, check your current status, and only then select a program that accommodates your needs. 

Once we select your program and complete an evaluation, we begin the learning. The number of exercises that you will learn and the frequency for practice at the clinic or at home is determined by many factors that are teased out through our time together. The program and the exercises are made to be attainable and sustainable.  What is the reason for this? 

This is not your average physical therapy experience.  What you learn at SAPT becomes part of your self-care plan for the long term.  Even if there are seasons when you find time hard to come by for exercise, these are exercise are your foundation.  When you do find time, again, to exercise, you will start with this program first.  This method and mindset will set you up for success to go into your activities with a reduced risk for injury and improved spine protection.
