SCHROTH BOSS SCOLIOSIS & SPINE THERAPY

At Schroth Boss Scoliosis & Spine Therapy, we are dedicated to empowering teens and adults with scoliosis through specialized care using the Schroth Method. As the only physical therapy clinic in Chicago’s south suburbs exclusively focused on scoliosis, we address the critical need for tailored resources in a community where up to 7 million Americans face this condition with limited support. Our mission is to bridge this gap by offering in-person and online programs that teach the fundamentals of scoliosis-specific exercises, helping individuals take control of their spine health, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.

UNDERSTAND YOUR CURVE

Understanding your curve is the cornerstone of managing scoliosis because it provides the key to targeted, effective care. By knowing the specifics of your spine’s curve pattern, you can engage in exercises and strategies that address your unique needs, helping to reduce pain, improve posture, and prevent progression.

RIB LOCK BREATHING

Rib Lock Breathing is vital for treating scoliosis. In scoliosis, the rib cage rotates along with the spine, creating imbalances in movement and alignment. By practicing targeted breathing techniques, we can encourage the rib cage to expand in specific areas, helping to de-rotate the spine over time and create volume within the torso to stabilize the spine.

ELONGATE

Elongation of the spine is key for scoliosis because it helps decompress the vertebrae, reducing imbalances caused by curvature and rotation. By actively lengthening the spine, we improve posture and midline alignment, and decrease pressure on nerves and joints. This also helps manage pain, supporting better movement and overall spinal health.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Dr. Katie Blanchard, PT, DPT, SPTC

  • Doctor of Physical Therapy

  • Schroth Method Physical Therapist

  • Scoliosis Specialist

  • Coursework in L2 BSPTS, Scoliopilates, PSSE-Schroth, McKenzie Method, mentorship with ISST therapist

Dr. Katie founded Schroth Boss after seeing firsthand how life-changing the Schroth Method could be for people with scoliosis. As a Physical Therapist specializing in scoliosis care, she helped patients reduce pain, avoid or delay surgery, improve posture, and return to activities they never thought possible.

But she also saw a major problem: many people simply didn’t have access to a Schroth specialist nearby. Some patients traveled hours just to receive treatment, while others went without the care they needed altogether.

That’s why she created Schroth Boss — a modern scoliosis care model that combines expert in-person treatment with personalized online programming, making specialized care more accessible no matter where you live.

Whether working with patients face-to-face or virtually, Dr. Katie’s approach focuses on individualized guidance, education, and long-term empowerment so patients can confidently manage their scoliosis in everyday life. Nothing is more rewarding to her than helping someone become a true “Schroth Boss” — taking control of their scoliosis and living life on their own terms.
