Spine Academy Physical Therapy, PLLC

Spine Academy Physical Therapy is an outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinic in Lexington that specializes in idiopathic scoliosis. Treatment follows the Rigo Concept from the Barcelona School of Physical Therapy, whose techniques and practices are rooted in the original Schroth Method. Therapy aims to correct breathing mechanics, strengthen the body asymmetrically, reduce the angle of rotation and improve postural awareness and body mechanics.
