Generic PT treats the back. Schroth treats the curve. Schroth is a 3D, scoliosis-specific method. We teach your body to:
- Elongate and de-rotate the spine
- Breathe into collapsed areas of the torso (rotational angular breathing)
- Hold your corrected posture during daily life, not just during exercises

Traditional PT often relies on general strengthening and stretching. Those have a place, but they don't address the rotation and asymmetry that define your curve. Research on scoliosis-specific exercise supports Schroth for slowing progression, improving posture and function, and reducing the need for bracing or surgery in some patients. Your curve is unique. Your program should be too.

Your ankles might be the reason your knees, hips, and back hurt.

When your ankle can't bend, your body overcompensates. Your arch collapses, knees cave in, hips tighten, and your low back takes the hit. Fix the small stuff before it becomes big.

Try these 2 moves:
1. Band-assisted knee-to-wall: 10 slow reps
2. One-leg balance + reach: 3 rounds per side
Quick wall test: Toes 4 inches from a wall. Can your knee touch without your heel lifting? If not, save this and start today.

Your scar is part of your story—but you can help with movement to prevent it from being stuck.
At Fit & Function PT, we use techniques such as scar mobilization and cupping to help improve tissue mobility and decrease feelings of tightness, pulling, or restriction around a surgical scar to help patients continue remaining active.
But one of my favorite parts of this treatment is teaching the patient how to participate in her own care.

Hamstring Tendinopathy? Dry needling may be part of the solution, but not completely what you need!

If you’ve been dealing with that stubborn pain high in the hamstring — especially pain with running, hinging, lifting, or prolonged sitting — you may benefit from dry needling as part of your rehab.

So where am I actually needling?
Depending on the presentation, I may target areas of the hamstring muscle and surrounding soft tissue that are contributing to increased tone, sensitivity, or altered muscle function. The goal is to help “reset” the system — potentially decreasing pain and muscle guarding and improving how the hamstring moves and contracts.

But here’s the important part:
Dry needling does NOT rebuild tendon capacity by itself.

Think of it like this:
Dry needling = RESET
Progressive strengthening = REBUILD
Running/sport-specific loading = RETURN

Research supports dry needling as a potential adjunct for tendinopathy, particularly when combined with therapeutic exercise. However, the evidence is not strong enough to say that everyone with hamstring tendinopathy needs to be needled on a specific schedule.

That’s why I don't use dry needling as the treatment. I use it strategically! The goal is to build a hamstring that can handle what you actually want to do.

Cupping is one technique a pelvic health physical therapist may use to gently address scar and abdominal tissue mobility, tightness, and sensitivity.
