SSOL SCHROTH COURSES
SSOL, through its pathway to certification as an SSOL Schroth Physical Therapist, seeks to train physical therapists worldwide in a proven method of physical therapy for the conservative treatment of scoliosis and other spinal conditions. In recognition of the international need for qualified professionals to treat individuals with scoliosis and other spinal conditions, SSOL employs a broad approach to educating and training qualified physical therapists and maintains the highest professional standards in recruiting and training its teachers to educate these PTs. SSOL operates on a core belief that the lifeblood of any organization is the inclusion of new individuals who will bring fresh ideas and energy, thereby promoting the organization’s vitality and growth. That growth must be calibrated to the needs of the scoliosis community and in particular the needs of individuals with scoliosis and other spinal conditions.
PATHWAY to CERTIFICATION
SSOL’s pathway to certification begins with an in-depth academic course that educates students in the fundamentals of scoliosis and spinal conditions. Upon completion of this online course, the pathway continues with two separate six-day in-person workshops, Practical 1 (P1) and Practical 2 (P2), that focus on the practical aspects of assessment and treatment. Physical therapists who complete P1 will be certified as SSOL Schroth Physical Therapists and those who successfully complete the entire pathway will be certified as SSOL Schroth Advanced Physical Therapists.
