Scoliosis Rehabilitation and the Schroth Method
Our Avon team includes a physical therapist with specialized training in scoliosis management and the Schroth method. Schroth-based care uses individualized positioning, postural awareness, breathing strategies and exercise to address the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis. Treatment is adapted to the person’s curve pattern, age, function and goals.
Scoliosis care may support:
- Improved awareness of posture and alignment
- Strength and endurance
- Breathing mechanics
- Comfort during school, work or activity
- Confidence with an individualized exercise program
- Long-term self-management
Physical therapy does not replace appropriate medical monitoring. Our clinicians collaborate with physicians and other members of the patient’s care team when indicated.
Vestibular and Balance Rehabilitation
Dizziness and imbalance can affect walking, driving, work, exercise and confidence. Vestibular physical therapy evaluates the systems that contribute to balance and spatial orientation.
Care may be appropriate for individuals experiencing:
- Vertigo
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV
- Vestibular hypofunction
- Motion sensitivity
- Unsteadiness
- Balance loss
- Dizziness associated with head movement
Treatment depends on the cause and may include repositioning procedures, gaze-stability exercises, balance training and gradual exposure to provoking movements.
TMJ and Jaw-Related Care
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction can contribute to jaw pain, difficulty chewing, headaches, facial discomfort and limited mouth opening. Physical therapy may address posture, jaw and neck mobility, muscle tension, movement patterns and strategies for managing symptoms. Our therapists consider the relationship between the jaw, neck and surrounding musculoskeletal system.
Pediatric and Adolescent Physical Therapy
Children and adolescents may need rehabilitation following an injury, surgery, growth-related condition or change in movement. Our approach is individualized, engaging and designed around the child’s daily life. Goals may include returning to play, participating in school, developing strength, improving coordination or getting back to sport.
Orthotic and Prosthetic Services
Avon also provides access to LIVE EVERY DAY’s orthotic and prosthetic team. Orthotic services may include customized foot orthotics, braces and devices intended to support alignment, improve walking, protect a body region or enhance function. Our integrated model allows physical therapists and O&P professionals to collaborate when a patient’s needs involve both rehabilitation and device management.
