Important factors to consider when you select
Scoliosis Physical Therapy Education

There are numerous organizations that offer scoliosis certification, but whether you choose BSPTS-North America, or another school, make sure that these important elements are incorporated:
​

The School

  • The courses are part of an established school with a Medical Director who is experienced in scoliosis research and treatment.
  • The school is recognized by SOSORT (Society of Scoliosis Orthopedic Rehabilitation and Treatment) – the international scoliosis society which holds high standards for evidence-based non-surgical scoliosis treatment.
  • The school has a sufficiently rigorous educational pathway that is cumulative and comprehensive in nature, with Final Certification reflecting a high level of credibility.
​

The Courses

  • ​Classes are small, with a low student to teacher ratio that facilitates individualized learning (recommend maximum of 10 students per teacher).
  • Education is done in-person, but includes components of on-line learning for convenience and cost-effectiveness.
  • Classes are well-balanced between lecture and hands-on lab time.
  • Courses teach methodology as part of a multidisciplinary team (physical therapists, orthotists and physicians).
  • Courses are inclusive of the Biopsychosocial Model of Medicine.
  • Courses include information on efficient delivery and reimbursement for care.
​

The Teachers

  • ​Classes are taught only by Physical Therapists (no TA's) who are certified in scoliosis treatment and education.
  • The teachers are active members of SOSORT.
  • The teachers offer ongoing mentorship and coaching as a follow-up to the in-person courses.

Expanding your value with scoliosis care

We view our students as whole individuals who need more than CLINICAL scoliosis education. As business leaders and employees, you also may need guidance to address operational needs for program feasibility in your clinics and institutions, as well as building referring physician and community relationships that drive success. We bring those aspects to our students in addition to our clinical expertise. ​
