Level 1, Borislav Chongov, Sofia Bulgaria

Successful Completion of the Level 1 Course in the Rigo Concept!
From February 26 to March 3, 2025, a Level 1 training course in the Rigo Concept was successfully held at USBALO “Prof. Boycho Boychev”, a leading center for scoliosis treatment. The course, led by Borislav Chongov,PhD was organized in collaboration with Sport and Health, a specialized facility for physiotherapy for scoliosis.

This intensive training, part of the Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School, focused on teaching participants how to treat scoliosis through a combination of physiotherapy exercises and manual techniques. The Schroth method-based approach was used to educate physiotherapists on correction principles tailored to various scoliosis types, including lumbar scoliosis, thoracic scoliosis, and degenerative scoliosis.

Participants included physiotherapists from Vienna, Austria, and different regions of Bulgaria, all aiming to enhance their expertise in scoliosis treatment options. Some attendees had personal experience with scoliosis, having undergone surgery in childhood or received scoliosis brace treatment.

The course was highly practical, covering essential aspects such as scoliosis diagnosis, classification, and specific correction strategies according to the Rigo Concept. Emphasis was placed on the non-surgical scoliosis treatment approach, which combines exercises for scoliosis with postural education and individualized therapy plans.

All participants successfully passed their final exam with outstanding results! The training concluded on March 3rd—Bulgaria’s National Liberation Day, making it a moment of both professional and national celebration.

This course, part of the Bulgarian Association of Physiotherapists (BGAPT) program, represents a step forward in improving standards for scoliosis treatment without surgery and advancing the knowledge of physiotherapists dedicated to spinal health.
