Level 1, Beth Janssen, San Jose, CA, USA
The Rigo Concept Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School, Level 1 Course was held October 21-26, 2024 in San Jose, California, USA. It was held at Scoliosis Rehab Physical Therapy, California and hosted by Nancy Sherratt, PT. We had three dedicated Physical Therapist from the West Coast in the class. They learned together, studied hard and all passed the challenging examination at the end of the class.
During the class, we discussed: what scoliosis is, how it is diagnosed radiologically and clinically. We worked on determining classification of the disorder using the Rigo Classification system. The correct classification insures that the correct plan of care is established including appropriate physical therapy exercise selection. The class focuses on non-surgical treatment of scoliosis using the Rigo Concept. The Rigo Concept is based on the Schroth Method, but included advancements made at the Barcelona School over many years. We are sure that these trained PT’s will be providing great Physical Therapy treatment for people with scoliosis using the information they learned.
