On the road to certification!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Level 1 training course is only open only to Physical Therapists.
PRICING: $2850 USD for 6 day L1 course; separate fee for online Base Course.
COURSE LENGTH: Six days
PREREQUISITE: Base Course with a passing exam to proceed to Level 1 training.
OBJECTIVES
DESCRIPTION
The course curriculum includes Rigo Concept principles, evolved from the original Schroth Method, of 3-D exercises for sensory-motor and kinesthetic development. The goals of treatment are to facilitate corrections of the altered posture and teach the patient to maintain corrections in daily living in order to minimize the progression of spinal deformity.
CURRICULUM: The Level 1 Course provides an in-depth explanation of the anatomy, etiology, clinical examination, and treatment of scoliosis. Other concepts covered include Sagittal Plane conditions, radiological measurement (Cobb angle axial rotation, central sacral line, transitional point, Risser, pelvic incidence) and risk for progression assessment. Rigo Concept treatment principles include balancing of the trunk with 3D Postural Correction, Expansion of the postural collapses, Muscle Activation for spine stabilization and Integration for nervous system impact for carry over of learning.
Rigo Concept BSPTS: The Rigo Concept Principles of Correction focus on the auto elongation together with the creation of pairs of forces through Asymmetrical Sagittal Straightening and Frontal Plane alignment to have a de-rotational effect throughout the spine and trunk to improve spine stabilization for activities of daily living. Through this Postural Corrective and Expansion process the trunk reshaping also improves internal support and breathing mechanics.
COURSE OUTCOMES: Participants will learn to recognize, evaluate, and treat different scoliosis curve patterns.
FORMAT: L1 includes lectures, labs for evaluation and exercise, and live volunteer demonstrations. Participants will take an exam at the end of the course.
CERTIFICATION: The L1-trained physical therapist must take the L2 training course within 1-3 years.
PRICING: $2850 USD for 6 day L1 course; separate fee for online Base Course.

PREREQUISITE: Base Course with a passing exam to proceed to Level 1 training.
OBJECTIVES
- Understand the history of Rigo Concept Principles evolved from the original Schroth Method and the relationship of the Schroth family to Rigo Concept BSPTS
- Understand the multidisciplinary approach to conservative management of scoliosis
- Perform an individualized scoliosis patient clinical evaluation
- Understand radiological variables in scoliosis assessment and classification
- Identify scoliosis patients appropriate for conservative management
- Develop specific treatment plans and goals
- Treat patients with 3D principles of correction according to Rigo Concept BSPTS
- Treat in basic starting positions (supine, prone, side-lying, semi hang)
- Teach joint protection and proper ADL principles for patients with scoliosis
