Become an expert in scoliosis therapy

At our 2-day seminar, we certify orthopaedic surgeons, orthopaedic technicians, doctors and physiotherapists for treatment with the unique RSC system. We provide first-hand knowledge on the conservative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis and demonstrate the use of the brace live.

- In-depth understanding of the pathology of idopathic scoliosis
- Evaluate disease progression and therapy options
- Explanation of biomechanical mechanisms of action and the Rigo system
- Recording and communicating relevant measurement data
- Understand and perform corset adjustments on patients

The Scoliosis Masterclass is aimed at professionals who already care for scoliosis patients - whether in a medical, orthopaedic or physiotherapeutic context. In this two-day seminar, Dr. Mina Jelačić provides in-depth insights into interdisciplinary care, practical assessment of risk factors and specific recommendations for treatment decisions. Particular attention is paid to understanding the 3-dimensional principles of correction, patient management and teamwork.

- Assessment of the risk of progression and indication for brace fitting
- Classification of curvature patterns & design principles of the Rigo-Chêneau corset

The physical therapy specialization course "Scoliosis and Pregnancy" by Jenny Dinges provides specialized knowledge for physiotherapeutic care of patients with scoliosis during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. This one-day course combines well-founded theory on idiopathic scoliosis and gynecological changes with practice-oriented exercises and evidence-based concepts. Participants learn to create a specific physiotherapeutic assessment and receive concrete therapeutic approaches for the various phases from pregnancy through postpartum recovery. The course is designed for physical therapists with practical experience in scoliosis treatment.

- Fundamentals of idiopathic scoliosis: Definition, etiology, pathomechanism, diagnostics, and conservative/surgical treatment measures
- Physical changes during pregnancy: Pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum period, pelvic floor, symphysis, and diastasis recti
- Scientific evidence: Current research on scoliosis in combination with pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery
- Physiotherapeutic assessment: Creating a specific assessment for pregnant individuals or after childbirth with scoliosis
- Treatment concept for pregnancy: Practical tips and exercises for physiotherapeutic treatment during pregnancy
- Treatment concept for postpartum period & recovery: Specific exercises and measures for the postpartum phase
- Practice orientation: Hands-on training with theoretical background for direct application in practice
