What We Do
What is Physical Therapy?
Physical Therapists have gone through extensive years of education to become experts in the science and study of human body mechanics. We assess and analyze not only how and why we move as it relates to injuries, but also how we can successfully assist our patients in regaining movement that is efficient and effective for long-term health.
When one area of the body is out of alignment, it can often cause a chain reaction of other areas of the body which will end up compensating up and down the mechanical chain, whether we are aware of it or not.
It is the job of a good Physical Therapist to discover the underlying cause of dysfunction and pain, and then create the optimal exercise program and use of manual therapy techniques to create optimal body healing.
Our Programs
Scoliosis Specific Physical Therapy & Exercise Programs
At ScolioAustin, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile. We are as dedicated to reducing your curve as you are.
Early intervention is the key.
We start with a DISCOVERY VISIT so we can find out what your main problems, fears, concerns, frustrations, concerns and goals are.
Schroth is becoming one of the fastest-growing, nationally recognized leaders in conservative, non-surgical scoliosis treatment.
Let us teach you how to build both your mind AND your body to build a beautiful, strong spine!
Payment & Our Promise to You
Please NOTE:
Danielle does not bill insurance companies directly because it allows her to spend more time and attention solely on her patients and not in dealing with insurance issues. The patient is expected to pay for therapy sessions at the time of service and will be given the appropriate “superbill” with all the appropriate coding in order to submit to their insurance company for reimbursement. 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 of my 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.
