October 2025 Rigo Concept L2 - Lexington, MA

Success! This Rigo Concept–Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS) Level 2 Course was full of nine smart and curious physical therapists. This six-day training transitioned these therapists from knowledge and basic practice of the Rigo Concept Theory into a deep understanding about the management of scoliosis, scoliosis assessment (clinically and radiologically), prognosis, plan of care development using SOSORT Guidelines for Non-Surgical Treatment of scoliosis, exercise selection, and increased skill in the use of physiotherapy for scoliosis. The Rigo Concept-BSPTS Principles of correction were described, demonstrated, and practiced for advanced physiotherapy exercise starting positions. The therapists took part in lectures and interactive labs that showed how to use exercises for scoliosis with patients of all ages. This course highlights how important it is to individualize care, explaining that “how to treat scoliosis” depends on the patient’s age, the type of curve, and the expected scoliosis prognosis.
During the course the students shared patient case examples of their work. These students were able to self-critic their work and scoliosis exercise positions based on the learning that was acquired during their Rigo Concept-BSPTS L2 week of training. At the end of each case presentation, discussions with their peers gave the therapists a chance to compare different ways of approaching scoliosis assessment, Rigo Classification, and scoliosis treatment options. Participants left with a stronger understanding of their role in offering effective, evidence-based non-operative scoliosis treatment.
