Patient Information

She not only helped to build strength & flexibility, but helped my daughter build character!

My daughter was diagnosed at age 10 with an ‘S’ curve 38 & 25. She was young enough to brace since her bones were still growing. With bracing her curve changed to a “C’ curve that was up to 48 degree last yr. Of course we are trying to stay below the operable 50 degree line. So we were very nervous.

Now age 14, my daughter has been working hard at Schroth since September. And we just went for her yearly out of brace x-ray. This is the first time in 4 years that we saw reduction in her curve, we were thrilled that she now has a curve of 42 degrees! Her bones are about done growing and she can go to nightwear w/ the brace, but she will continue her Schroth.

Cosmetically my daughter looks good, the brace helped to do a lot of that, but there are some areas of symmetry that Schroth has now helped to balance out & definitely make a difference in her overall appearance. Schroth has made a big difference in her flexibility, strength, and body awareness. Some of the changes are actually measurable!

We went to all of my daughter’s Schroth sessions. At first it seemed very difficult, rigorous (I kept notes & tried to coach her)…..but now she conducts the entire workout on her own. She puts on a music and it becomes an important part of her day. I set up a room downstairs with large mirrors I got on sale at Lowes. I also built her stall-bars (like a wall ladder equip) you can buy them too. They take a few weeks to be delivered, so I built my own faster so she could apply her training asap

This is an amazing therapy that if nothing else, builds strength, flexibility & character. However, there is no question that is very effective in balancing out appearance & using the body’s muscles to brace against long term curve progression. We really appreciate Jen Graham’s ability as a therapist and her ability to connect with her patient. Her knowledge & onsite awareness are clearly inspirational for the patient/student who aspires to meet their goals.

If my daughter misses a workout she feels it. It has become part of her daily regimen.

I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Jennifer is a fantastic physical therapist. For years, I’ve had shoulder, hip and foot pain—all on my right side. Well, what do you know? I have mild scoliosis that’s never been diagnosed and I’m 43! Jennifer has been incredibly helpful in treatment and also teaching me the right way to stand and walk for my condition. I would highly recommend her to anyone—and best of all, she’s a lot of fun!

I am no longer ashamed of my back!

Jen is an amazing physical therapist. I have scoliosis and thought I could not reduce it. However, after completing a therapy program (Schroth method plus Jen’s method) with Jen, my back is noticeably straighter, more elongated, and more symmetrical, and she has taught me how to continue to improve it. She also dramatically improved my posture and straightened my neck as well. I’m so happy with and grateful for the results!

Jen has scoliosis too (although I didn’t realize it until she told me, which is inspiring), so she understands the challenges I have and what I need to overcome them. She gives me the encouragement and support I need during the exercises to get the results I’m capable of. She is also so resourceful and dedicated; I’m a slow learner when it comes to exercises, but she always finds a way to get me to understand them. When I didn’t know how to activate a muscle (like a rib cage muscle that I didn’t know even existed) she found a way to teach me. When she observed a muscle was tight and interfering with my ability to achieve a posture, she took the time to loosen it.

What was most amazing though, was, from the amount of effort she put in to straighten my back and improve my posture, I could tell she genuinely cares and wants me to improve as much as possible. When she saw my neck needed therapy as well, she worked on that too even though she didn’t have to. She takes the time to explain why we do each exercise and teaches me so that I can continue the progress on my own. And, perhaps the most sweet – when I improve, she gets so excited and happy which is super encouraging. Jen is really such a nice person – I always enjoy our therapy sessions and getting to know her.

Finally, Jen has done so much for me not only physically, but mentally. I am no longer ashamed at my back but take pride in how much straighter I can make it if I work for it. I am so grateful to have her as my PT!

I have remained pain-free after 1 year!

I came to Graham after attempting correction of my Kyphosis with yoga and another PT. My acupuncturist had said that PT wouldn’t help the condition, and the prior PT I consulted, said that there was a chance that I could obtain a 20% correction with their organization.

I worked with Jennifer over a 4 month period, and obtained a correction of over 50%. I no longer engage in yoga, acupuncture or PT, and after 1 year, I remain free of pain, provided I continue some of the exercises she taught me.
