In the time I've spent in PT sessions with Deirdre, I truly believe the exercises we do are making my back better.

My scoliosis was diagnosed only 1 1/2 yrs ago (I'm 68 yrs. old); fortunately, my cousin suggested finding a PT that practiced the Schroth method of PT for scoliosis.  I am so glad I found SSPT of NJ and Deirdre.

The Schroth exercises that she has taught me really make me feel better - which means I'm learning to build the strength and posture to keep the pain at bay.  And that is what PT is supposed to be about - making us stronger and alleviating the pain.

I whole-heartedly recommend working with Deirdre if you want to prevent your scoliosis from getting worse and relieve the pain of scoliosis.

I highly recommend Schroth Spinal Physical Therapy of NJ to anyone seeking relief from scoliosis. I tried PT, yoga for scoliosis, and a personal trainer while searching for a Schroth therapist and none of them worked for me. I was convinced that Schroth would  be the best approach, simply because it makes sense. SSPT of NJ has far exceeded my hopes and expectations.

Deirdre has worked miracles with my back! She is highly skilled in assessing your needs and tailoring treatment and exercises to meet them and her knowledge and passion for Schroth keeps you motivated. I actually look forward to going!

At 68, I know that my curve will not be completely corrected. However, I have seen it reduced significantly and have learned exercises to make adjustments to manage the pain on my own. I am eternally indebted to Deirdre and SSPT of NJ for sharing their expertise with me so that I may look forward to living a relatively pain-free life.

I am so grateful to Schroth Spinal Physical Therapy and especially to Deirdre for the quality of life that has been restored to me because of this therapy.  At the age of 73, I don’t know if my curve will really “correct” but I do believe I can keep it from getting worse by doing the exercises Deirdre has taught me.  In the past, I would have been in much pain in my back and ribs by mid-day of cooking for Thanksgiving.  This year I only had discomfort toward the very end of a whole day on my feet at the kitchen counter. I took a break to do my Schroth exercises and was good as new. Six months ago I couldn’t take a one mile walk without returning home in pain.  Now, I enjoy my three mile walk with no discomfort at all. Deirdre is kind, patient, and immensely knowledgable.  I can’t recommend her and this practice more highly.

“I can highly recommend Deirdre and Amy. My son was diagnosed with a 20-degree Cobb angle a year ago at the age of 15. While not severe, we were told by doctors that because boys’ spines continue to grow, it would be best to monitor the situation for a couple of years and do everything we could to prevent his curvature from developing further. Unfortunately, we received mixed advice on how to do that, with one doctor recommending chiropractic intervention while the other recommending physical therapy, but with no additional guidance. Through online research I discovered that the Schroth method of physical therapy was the best intervention for scoliosis, and located Amy and Deirdre. My son’s work with them has been transformative. A year later, not only has his curvature not progressed, but his latest x-ray showed a 16-degree Cobb angle—possibly within a margin of error, but to a mom, a margin in the right direction!
