Schroth -Trained Female Physiotherapist Scoliosis

Schroth -Trained Female Physiotherapist – Scoliosis

Role Summary

• Provide Schroth Method–based, scoliosis -specific physiotherapy to adolescent and adult patients, focusing on 3D spinal correction, postural re -education, and breathing techniques to reduce curve progression and improve quality of life.​
  

• Deliver individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s curve pattern, functional level, and goals as a conservative, largely non -surgical management approach.​
  

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive scoliosis assessments, including posture analysis, curve pattern classification, range of motion, pain levels, functional limitations, and brace/surgical history.​
  

• Design and implement individualized Schroth exercise programs integrating muscular symmetry work, rotational angular breathing, and 3D auto -correction postures in various positions (sitting, standing, lying).​
  

• Educate patients (and parents, when relevant) on scoliosis, home exercise programs, postural awareness, and activity modification to integrate auto -correction into daily living and sports.​
  

• Conduct one‑to‑one therapy sessions (typically 45–60 minutes) with hands -on cueing, tactile guidance, mirror feedback, and use of equipment such as wall ladders, poles, bands, and therapy balls.​
  

• Monitor and document patient progress using clinical and functional outcome measures; liaise with referring physicians, orthotists, and other team members as needed.​
  

• Support peri‑bracing and peri‑surgical scoliosis management where appropriate, focusing on posture, breathing, and core stabilization.​
  

• Promote a safe, respectful, and culturally appropriate environment for female patients, ensuring privacy and comfort during assessment and treatment.
  

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physiotherapy / Physical Therapy from an accredited institution.​
  

• Valid physiotherapy license/eligibility in the relevant jurisdiction (e.g., UAE licensing authority where applicable).
  

• Formal Schroth certification (e.g., BSPTS, ISST, or equivalent Schroth scoliosis -specific exercise certification) with up -to -date status/continuing education.​
  

• Minimum 1–2 years of post -graduate clinical experience, with at least 1 year focused on musculoskeletal/orthopedic or pediatric/adolescent cases; prior scoliosis caseload experience strongly preferred.​
  

Desired Skills & Competencies

• Strong knowledge of scoliosis -specific exercise principles: 3D auto -correction, pelvic correction, spinal elongation, rotational breathing, and postural control.​
  

• Excellent manual skills and cueing ability to guide complex postures and breathing patterns safely and effectively.​
  

• High level of patient education and communication skills to motivate adolescents and adults to adhere to structured home exercise programs.​
  

• Comfortable working with braced and post‑operative scoliosis patients as part of a multidisciplinary care pathway.​
  

• Empathy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity when working with female patients and their families.
  

• Ability to manage schedule, documentation, and follow -ups efficiently; basic comfort with EMR/clinic software.
  

Working Conditions

• Outpatient physiotherapy / scoliosis specialty clinic setting with scheduled 1:1 appointments, typically 45–60 minutes per session.​
  

• Use of dedicated Schroth space with mirrors, wall bars, stools, therapy balls, bands, and other props to facilitate 3D postural correction and breathing work.​
  

• May include flexible hours (evenings/weekends) based on patient demand, especially for school‑age adolescents and working adults.
