    Keeping Spines Healthy Since 2019

    Are you ready to start understanding what is going on with your spine? It doesn't have to only be scoliosis. We treat spinal conditions of all ages to help you where traditional therapy has failed. We now have workshops for adults and kids happening every other Tuesday evening for those newly diagnosed with scoliosis as well as helping to empower allied health professionals to dive into a deeper understanding of how to support, treat and empower those living with scoliosis. From sharing personal stories of triumph to spreading knowledge about treatment and exercise resources, this is our month to shine a spotlight and inspire everyone to take care of their spine. Let's make this Scoliosis Awareness month one to remember. #Standtallwithscoliosis

    Discovery Visit

    Getting Started

    A good place to start is with a DISCOVERY CALL. This no-commitment, 30 minute consultation gives us an opportunity to introduce ourselves and find out what your main concerns and goals are so that we can ensure the Schroth Method is a good fit for your needs.

    Have you or your child been diagnosed with Scoliosis or other spinal deformities that cause back pain and anxiety about things getting worse in the future? If so, you are not alone. Research shows that 3-5% of the population shares your diagnosis and, yet, helpful information and conservative treatment options that stray from the “wait and see” approach have been hard to come by. Have you struggled to find the right information about how to proceed after the diagnosis or how to prevent the curve from getting worse? This can be a frustrating, almost paralyzing, time if you don’t have anywhere to turn for quality answers.

    Take Control of Your Curve

    The Schroth Method is an approach for treating scoliosis that uses customized exercises (PSSE - Physiotherapy Specific Scoliosis Exercises) & breathing techniques that are uniquely designed to help stabilize and reduce scoliosis curvatures. Most conventional exercise are done the same on both sides of the body but PSSE are applied unilaterally and designed to help correct the imbalances of the scoliosis spine by lengthening and strengthening the weakened muscles on the inside of the curvatures, so you can stop worrying about future problems, ongoing curve progression and anxiety about how the things you do on a daily basis might be causing more damage to your spine.

    PLEASE NOTE: In these ever-changing times, we respect and follow all CDC recommendations for our treatment sessions. We also follow all guidelines set out by the City of Austin Public Health system. If you have any concerns or special needs, please let us know prior to your appointment.

    Payment & Our Promise to You

    Please NOTE:

    ScolioAustin does not bill insurance companies directly because it allows the physical therapists to spend more time and attention solely on their patients and not in dealing with insurance issues. The patient is expected to pay for therapy sessions at the time of service and, upon request, we are able to submit your bill to your insurance on your behalf. Reimbursement will go directly to you. When services are provided by a licensed physical therapist who is also certified as a Schroth Scoliosis Therapist, Scoliosis Specific Exercises and management are considered under the umbrella of physical therapy services. Most patients have had very good reimbursements as long as their insurance plans include out-of-network benefits. HSA/FSA cards are accepted and payment plans can be discussed on an as-needed basis.

    We are also able to provide a justification letter to assist you insurance in understanding how are services are different than traditional therapy so that they may assess our ability to be see as "GAP Providers". For example, UHC currrently has our clinic listed as a GAP Provider, making it easier to get reimbursement for our services.

    Leave Us A Review

    "I am a 54-year old female who had been experiencing more upper back, neck pain and frequent migraines over the past 8 years. In searching for answers, I was told I had mild scoliosis, which had never been noticed in childhood. I went through 4 different traditional physical therapy clinics and therapists which helped some but the source of my pain always eluded me. I was told that my posture was mostly to blame rather than the scoliosis, but still none of the exercises really seemed to solve my posture problems or the scoliosis. They were a chore to complete and gave short term relief, at best.

    My MRI’s revealed no structural issues so I decided to seek out a PT who knew about scoliosis and found ScolioAustin. Through working with Danielle and Cassie, I have learned more about how my posture affects my back and multiple easy exercises that together target specific small muscles that contribute to my posture problems. I now have a daily routine that I can do in 30 minutes, that are gradually helping me grow stronger. My goal was to decrease the pain and increase strength in my neck and thoracic area, and that is well on the way.

    Working with ScolioAustin was so easy. Scheduling was flexible and they were always there to meet my needs. This is the first PT experience I have had where the provider looked at my posture, worked with me hands on for my back and neck muscles, and really spent the time to determine what was going on. They tailored the regimen to exactly what I needed. I would recommend ScolioAustin to anyone with scoliosis, or any kind of ongoing chronic pain problem. Their persistence and dedication to helping me has really gone above and beyond any other PT provider I’ve worked with previously."

    "Danielle is great! My daughter was diagnosed with Scoliosis in August. After meeting with the doctor and finding out about this type of physical therapy I search online and found Danielle. I called and left her a message and she called me back within a couple of hours and found a place in her schedule to meet with us. We are very pleased with the outcome so far and will continue with her as long as needed to help stop the progression."

    – Paige Morrison

    "Danielle is fantastic. Her explanations are very clear and she’s willing to take the time to answer ALL my questions… unlike the MDs I’ve seen who just push surgery.

    Danielle gently pushes me hard… and I appreciate it because I want to avoid back surgery!!!

    I’m 63 and have seen oodles of PTs for back pain since being diagnosed with scoliosis at age 12. No one has come close to having the knowledge and expertise of Danielle. I wish I had worked with someone like her 40-50 years ago! I’m looking forward to next week’s appointment!"

    – Tamra Zehner

    "I am forever grateful to my physical therapist because he referred me to ScolioAustin! Danielle helped me so much. Before her I was always told there was nothing you could do for my scoliosis, I met her and she gave me hope. At first the exercises were difficult for me. Now Danielle taught me how to breathe into my left lung!! She is amazing and my daughter told me my posture improved a lot. I highly recommend her. We are so lucky she is here in Austin."
