- Minimum 1–2 years of post graduate clinical experience, with at least 1 year focused on musculoskeletal/orthopedic or pediatric/adolescent cases; prior scoliosis caseload experience strongly preferred.
Desired Skills & Competencies
- Strong knowledge of scoliosis specific exercise principles: 3D auto correction, pelvic correction, spinal elongation, rotational breathing, and postural control.
- Excellent manual skills and cueing ability to guide complex postures and breathing patterns safely and effectively.
- High level of patient education and communication skills to motivate adolescents and adults to adhere to structured home exercise programs.
- Comfortable working with braced and post‑operative scoliosis patients as part of a multidisciplinary care pathway.
- Empathy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity when working with female patients and their families.
- Ability to manage schedule, documentation, and follow ups efficiently; basic comfort with EMR/clinic software.
