Resources
Bringing you the best
of the best, all in one place
One of the benefits of having been in the Physical Therapy, Wellness, and Entrepreneurial Industries for over 25 years is that I’ve gotten to really know which products, services, and providers are worth our investment, and which ones to skip and save your time and money!
I have collated the resources that I am most frequently asked about into these three categories to help you find exactly what you need and when you need it.

Publications
Aside from the SSOL Schroth and BSPTS directories, the following list of professionals are people whom I have known for YEARS and are truly amongst the best in their field.
While there are many physicians, surgeons, bracing specialists, and more who are also exceptional, this list simply includes the medical professionals with whom I have directly worked with over the years and would feel confident sending my own family to for care.
I am happy to share the international directories for finding a certified SSOL Schroth or BSPTS therapist. Please note that each therapist and medical professional often has their own way of delivering treatment; I do not specifically endorse, approve or promote any therapist or medical professional in particular. Sharing these directories and listings is simply my way of helping you or your family connect with a trained professional near you!
SSOL Schroth was founded by the collaborative efforts of Dr Hagit Berdishevsky and Andrea Lebel. Hagit and Andrea each studied directly under Christa Schroth and Dr Manuel Rigo, and were certification course teachers for BSPTS. In 2020, Hagit and Andrea received Dr Rigo’s blessing to create their own certification program, integrating original Schroth concepts with an evidenced based evaluation and treatment approach that supports the whole person.
I am grateful for having earned my original certifications from Hagit whilst she was teaching for BSPTS, and for the generosity of teaching, mentoring and incredible high level of intelligence that Hagit and Andrea have brought to their certification program.
Find a Certified Therapist
BSPTS (Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School) was founded and created by Dr Manuel Rigo who worked and studied directly with Christa Schroth for the majority of his professional career. Dr Rigo is a true pioneer in the field of scoliosis and is one of the kindest, most caring, and brilliant souls on this planet. A licensed medical physician initially trained in immunology, he devoted his entire professional career to the study and elevation of scoliosis and spinal asymmetries. I am grateful for the opportunity to have learned and studied directly from him over the years. He has grown BSPTS to an international program.

Boxes, Clouds and Drives – GOODBYE!
If you’ve got content, and lots of it, Air will transform how you work, collaborate and create. It truly will help you to love what you do all over again. Air is a sanity saver, life saver, and time saver all in one.
I created so much content over the years, and so much of it was getting lost being stored in different places between dropbox, google drive, computer clouds and more. I spent hours searching for things – and then not even sure which draft I had found.
Enter a breath of fresh AIR
Air is like a hybrid between Dropbox and Pinterest – it is a visual storage system that allows you to organize, store, and securely share documents, photos, any digital product – in the most beautiful and user friendly way I have ever experienced. In all of the platforms I use for different purposes, Air and Canva share a close tie for 1st place – it’s THAT amazing!

Canva makes creating and designing ANYTHING exponentially easier – and more fun! Create stunning slide deck presentations, e-books, social media posts, branded documents, brochures, posters, and so much more. (And yes, those slide deck presentations can be downloaded, shared, and even played or recorded directly from Canva so much more easily than Keynote or Powerpoint. Canva is beautiful, simple, and incredibly versatile. Photos and videos are a snap to upload to create social media posts, e-books, you name it. (Trust me – if I can do it, you can do it!) Expert tip: you’ll no longer need to purchase stock photography from outside websites, as Canvas pro plan includes thousands of high end images, fonts, and more.

As an evidenced-based medical professional, having high-quality research behind our work is paramount. The list of publications below is only a small sample of peer-reviewed research available on the topics of scoliosis, spine health, core stability, breathing, and more. Submitting such publications on PSSE & Schroth to your insurance company can often be helpful to improve the chances of reimbursement when working with an out-of-network physical therapist. I hope you find this small library of articles helpful, informative, and enlightening! Feel free to access, download, and share this link.
