Course Description:

Structural scoliosis is often diagnosed and treated in teenagers. For mild to moderate cases, intervention may not have been recommended. Rehabilitation therapists may receive referrals to treat neck, back, and shoulder pain, and discover the aging patient was diagnosed with scoliosis as an adolescent, and this is contributing to their impairment. This course will review the pathophysiology of scoliosis, the common changes with aging, and how to account for scoliosis in your evaluation, interventions, goal setting, and progression.
