Schroth Physical Therapist Database
As with the Specialists in the "Doctor Database", we have received requests for Physiotherapists/Physical Therapists who may be able to treat mild, moderate and severe cases of Scheuermann's Disease, specially when surgery is refused or denied.
In addition, new research studies are finding that specific techniques of non-invasive treatments, such as Schroth Therapy, may be effective with children, adolescents, and also adults. A potentially huge breakthrough in treatment options (https://scoliosisjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13013-016-0094-7)
In this section are physical/physical therapists from various backgrounds and various teaching methods. The Scheuermann's Disease Fund is only listing these for reference sake and is making no recommendations.
SD can potentially carry significant, and very serious, spinal ailments into middle age, and beyond. Some of these spinal deformities include spinal cord compression, osteophytes (bone spurs), stenosis, osteo-arthritis and degenerative disc disease. It can strike people at their peak earning periods and at times when there are others at home who depend upon them the most.
Since we, as The Scheuermann’s Disease Fund, have a consistent message that we do not make medical recommendations nor give medical advice, these Physiotherapists/Physical Therapists are only to be used as an OPTION when searching for treatment options and are not recommended by anyone at The Scheuermann's Disease Fund. None of this should be construed as any type of medical advice.
By the Physiotherapists/Physical Therapists appearing in this database, it does not necessarily indicate that they are better providers than others in the same field. As always, we encourage you to go into your first appointment well prepared, with your medical history and specific questions ready for the therapist. These questions for the therapists may include their experience with SD and their training and experience in their field.
We, as The Scheuermann's Disease Fund, are offering this list to help you in your search for a treating Physiotherapists/Physical Therapist who is familiar with treating the primary and secondary effects caused by SD. The final decision on a Physiotherapist/Physical Therapist and treatment is yours, and yours alone. TSDF cannot take any responsibility for the actions, omissions or performance of these therapists in the handling of your case. The treatment and management of your case is your responsibility so please take care when selecting your treating Physiotherapist/Physical Therapist.

He has worked extensively with pre and post-surgical orthopedic patients and sports injuries by developing unique protocols to address individual needs and goals. One of Scott's passion is returning athletes back to play after concussion injuries using SCAT 5, Child SCAT 5 and Return to Play protocol. Scott specializes in treating TMJ, Vertigo, Sports injuries, Vestibular Disorders and Scoliosis. The vertigo techniques he uses are proven to provide 95% relief of symptoms in one to two visits. For other conditions, Scott utilizes a combination of one-on-one manual therapy, blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy, cold laser, electrical stimulation, graston technique, & joint mobilization. Scott's passion for continued knowledge and clinical expertise has also led him to a certification in the treatment of scoliosis from the Barcelona scoliosis physical therapy school (BSPTS-C1) and a level one certification in instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation. He has published research regarding posture and effective strength and flexibility programs to improve daily functioning at home and in the workplace in Spine magazine, and continues to take additional classes to further his research and ways to treat patients.
