A 3-night, small-group scoliosis retreat in Chicago where you’ll finally learn exactly what your body needs—and how to Exercise correctly for your curve.
Personalized, curve-specific Schroth training (not generic exercises)
Hands-on coaching so you know you’re doing it right
Only 6 participants for individualized attention, women only.

General Physical Therapy that barely scratched the surface
Chiropractic that gave temporary relief, never treating the root cause
Massage that helped for a moment… until everything tightened right back up
Stretching and core strengthening
And the worst: being told to “wait and see if it gets worse.”
Most Importantly:
You're Still stuck in the “wait and see” cycle... while your curve keeps getting worse.
The pain is still there — maybe even getting worse
Your posture or alignment is starting to visibly shift
Whether it’s age, hormones, or watching your child’s curve progress… that fear of surgery is always in the back of your mind.


This Isn’t Just Training or a weekend course… It’s a Full Experience.

Over 4 days, you’ll combine deep, personalized Schroth Method training with time to relax, reset, and enjoy the experience. (scroll to the end for retreat schedule)
Here's What's Included:
3-night stay at the Marriott in Burr Ridge, IL
Two full days of hands-on scoliosis training with Dr. Katie Blanchard
Transportation to and from all activities
All meals included (Thursday dinner through Saturday dinner)
Plus:
Chicago River Architecture Tour
Dinner in downtown Chicago + rooftop cocktails with skyline views

You’ll work on your body—and actually enjoy the process.

Prior to the Retreat, You submit pictures of your standing posture & x-ray— we assess your curve, posture, and alignment to customize your Exercises & Give you Curve-Specific Recommendations throughout Exercise Training Sessions

No more guessing what to do—or why it matters. When you understand the purpose behind each exercise, you're more likely to stay consistent and actually see results.

Only 6 Spots—So You Get the Attention You Actually Need
Instead you'll get:
✅ Personalized coaching

You have scoliosis and want to take control of your spine — without surgery
You’re ready to commit to a proven process and follow a protocol developed by a certified Schroth PT.
You want professional guidance without the high price or hassle of weekly 1-on-1 sessions.
You’re motivated to invest in yourself, take ownership of your progress, and work toward long-term change.
You believe it’s possible to feel better, move better, and stop your scoliosis from progressing — with the right tools and support.

You’re looking for a quick fix or a few stretches to try
You believe scoliosis can be completely reversed or your spine can be "straightened" back to normal as an adult.
You want a hands-off solution or expect someone else to “fix” your scoliosis for you.
You’re unwilling to commit 20-25 minutes, 5 times per week, to prioritize your spinal health.
You’re looking for passive treatments (like massage, Manual therapy, or chiropractic) instead of active, research-backed scoliosis-specific care.

"The Single Most important Self-Help I Have Ever Done For Myself and My Back."
"Katie, thank you so much for the amazing weekend! My big takeaway as I was driving home was that the workshop was easily the single most important self-help / therapy I have ever done for myself and for my back. I am so thankful I found you via instagram. I am so grateful for your help and expertise. I am also so grateful to connect with others who know my pain. I will definitely reach out to you and will most certainly recommend you!! Thanks again!"
- Jennifer B.


"I Learned The Proper Exercises For My Curve."
"Best weekend seminar ever!
I learned a lot, even though I had been doing Katie’s classes regularly. I learned the proper Exercises for my curve. If you’re on the fence on this bc of the price, I assure you it is well worth it! Bonus, I met 4 ladies and we all determined our curve and got to know each other. We talked about our struggles which people who have regular back pain vs our pain and how it affects our bodies. The next seminar is in June and two more after that this year!"
- Jody H.


"I Really Cannot Put Into This Tiny Space All The Benefits Gained From Attending This Past Weekend."

"Best. Weekend. Ever!!"
"I also attended this amazing event this past weekend. I’ve lived with my scoliosis for over 50 years and just starting the work to stop the progression and pain. I gained so much to help me with my curve but it was more than just exercises. I don’t feel alone as I’ve now found Katie and bonded with a community group that is supportive and knows how it feels to live with scoliosis. Thank you for allowing us to share as well as learn how to fight the curve and pain. BEST. WEEKEND. EVER!!"

This retreat is designed for women ages 18+ with scoliosis.
Why women only?
Because it creates a more:
-Comfortable environment
-Open conversations
-Supportive group dynamic
Many women with scoliosis share similar experiences, concerns, and goals—this allows for a more connected and personalized experience.
Everything is taken care of so you can focus fully on the experience:
3-night hotel stay
Two full days of personalized training
Transportation
Meals
Chicago experiences + spa
No planning, no logistics—just show up and focus on your body
Yes. After you join, you’ll submit screenshots of your x-ray or written imaging report, plus pictures of your standing posture. This allows us to assess your curve pattern and alignment. Based on that, we’ll guide you through which exercises to focus on and how to adjust your posture using the Schroth Method during the weekend.
That’s actually who this retreat is built for. Even if your curve has been stable or slowly progressing for decades, we help you strengthen, realign, and stabilize your spine with movement strategies that work — even in adulthood.
Most of those focus on:
👉 Temporary relief
👉 General movement
👉 Passive treatment
This is different.
You’ll learn:
-Exactly what your curve needs
-How to correct it yourself
-How to take care of your spine independently
No more relying on constant appointments just to feel better for a few days.
This is not a bootcamp.
Everything is:
-Adjusted to your level
-Guided step-by-step
-Focused on quality, not intensity
You’ll be supported the entire time.
Yes. The Schroth Method is backed by decades of scoliosis-specific research, and everything in the retreat is informed by both science and results from hundreds of scoliosis clients.
Because it replaces the cycle most people are stuck in:
Massage. Chiropractic. General PT. Surgery.
Over and over again.
All adding up over months… even years…
For temporary relief.
This retreat is different.
👉 You’re not just getting sessions—you’re getting individualized, curve-specific guidance
👉 You’ll be in a small group of only 6, so you get the attention you actually need
👉 You’ll have time to ask questions, get corrections, and truly understand your body
This isn’t rushed care.
This is personalized support designed around you.
And most importantly:
👉 You’re learning how to take care of your spine yourself
👉 You’re building skills you’ll use for life
👉 You’re no longer dependent on constant appointments just to feel better
This is where you stop cycling through temporary fixes…
…and start taking real control of your scoliosis.
Yes—they’re welcome to stay with you at the hotel. However, to respect the privacy and experience of other participants: They are not allowed to attend training sessions or group activities
This ensures everyone feels comfortable and fully supported during the retreat.
Yes, you may use an HSA or FSA card to pay for the retreat. However, insurance is not billed or accepted.
