Courses provide in-depth explanation of anatomy, etiology, clinical examination, and treatment of scoliosis. Participants will learn to recognize, evaluate, and treat different scoliosis curve patterns. Bracing concepts will be covered.  Course format includes lectures, labs for evaluation and exercise, and live patient demonstration. On the final day participants will take a certification exam.  ​Read more about course objectives.
