The Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS) provides Rigo Concept courses pertaining to the management and treatment of Scoliosis and other spinal disorders affecting alignment. Courses are for Medical Doctors, Physiotherapists and Orthotists.
The Rigo Concept course for Physiotherapists, teaches successful physiotherapy management within a multidisciplinary setting utilizing Physiotherapy Scoliosis Specific Exercise (PSSE). This course for physiotherapists is termed Rigo Concept PSSE.
The Rigo Concept PSSE certification pathway is comprehensive and of high quality, where attendee numbers are kept low to ensure maximum support and guidance by the Teachers, both during the courses and between them. Complete certification involves steady movement through 4 stages:
Base Level: Online (8 hours) covering foundation knowledge on scoliosis and other structural alterations of the spine.
Level 1: In-person 6-day course (8 hours/day, total 48 hours) providing physiotherapists with the core knowledge and practical skills required to assess, classify, and manage patients with idiopathic scoliosis and structural sagittal plane disorders using the Rigo Concept BSPTS approach.
Level 2: In-person 6-day course (8 hours/day, total 48 hours) focusing on the refinement of clinical reasoning, corrective strategies, exercise progression, and advanced treatment application within the Rigo Concept BSPTS framework, designed to enhance corrective effectiveness and functional integration. Participants work directly with patients under the guidance of the Teacher while expanding their understanding of advanced corrective principles and treatment techniques.
Level 3: In-person 6-day course (8 hours/day, total 48 hours) that covers adult scoliosis management (adult degenerative ‘de novo’ scoliosis and adult idiopathic scoliosis), contemporary surgical approaches and the role of PSSE before and after surgery, complex case management plus more advanced muscle activation strategies to optimise treatment outcomes.
