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 (based upon Schroth) 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 bracing, radiological positioning (Cobb angle axial rotation, central sacral line, transitional point, Risser), and Sagittal configuration. Rigo Concept principles (based upon Schroth) of correction: pelvic corrections, correction of the postural collapse (auto-elongation), correction of the front component (deflection), correction of the rotation component (de-rotation), rotational breathing, facilitation, and stabilization.
BSPTS-Rigo Concept: Auto-elongation and postural deflection and de-rotation from a 3D postural corrected and stable pelvis (detorsion); an increase of the de-rotational component through tensional pair-of-forces – Asymmetrical Sagittal Straightening; Increase of the deflection component throughout frontal posture over-correction and or tensional force-counter-force; reshape the trunk throughout the control of the internal volumes 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. On the final day, participants will take an exam.
CERTIFICATION: The L1-trained physical therapist must take the L2 training course within 1-3 years.

OBJECTIVES
- Understand the history of Rigo Concept Principles (based upon Schroth) and their relationship to BSPTS Rigo Concept
- 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 basic 3D principles of correction according to BSPTS Method by Rigo
- Treat in 5 basic starting positions (supine, prone, side-lying, sitting and standing)
- Teach joint protection and proper ADL principles for patients with scoliosis
