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.

Our Vision
Our vision is that we are able to create a resource-rich, scoliosis-specialized wellness center that provides evidence-based, scoliosis specific treatment options to enhance people’s mental and physical health while avoiding costly and invasive medical or surgical options. With this in mind, we are pleased to provide a breadth of options for our clients including scoliosis specific, individualized Schroth -based programs, our Scoliosis Power Pilates programs or our ScolioStrength Training Bootcamps.
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:
At ScolioAustin, we do not bill insurance companies directly. This model allows our physical therapists to focus their time and attention on providing exceptional patient care rather than managing insurance requirements and administrative processes.
Payment for services is due at the time of treatment. If requested, we can provide detailed receipts and billing documentation, including the appropriate treatment and diagnosis codes, for you to submit directly to your insurance company for reimbursement. Any reimbursement approved by your insurance carrier will be paid directly to you.
When services are provided by a licensed physical therapist who is also certified in the Schroth Method, scoliosis-specific exercises and treatment are generally recognized under the umbrella of physical therapy services. Many of our patients have received favorable reimbursement for these services when their insurance plans include out-of-network benefits.
For your convenience, we accept HSA and FSA cards. Flexible payment arrangements may also be available based on individual circumstances.
Assistance with Insurance Reimbursement
We understand that specialized scoliosis care may differ significantly from traditional physical therapy services. To help insurance companies better understand the unique nature of our treatment approach, we can provide a detailed justification letter outlining the specialized training, certifications, and scoliosis-specific interventions provided through our clinic.
This documentation may support your insurance company’s consideration for a PPO waiver, also known as a Gap Exception, potentially increasing reimbursement eligibility. For example, certain plans through UnitedHealthcare and Blue Cross have recognized our clinic as a GAP Provider, helping eligible patients access reimbursement more easily.
We encourage patients to contact their insurance provider directly to verify out-of-network benefits and discuss reimbursement options before beginning treatment.

Hear from our clients and discover how ScolioAustin has transformed their lives.
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 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!"
