Becoming a Scoliosis-Savvy Practitioner—UK Training & Collaboration
GPs, physios, chiropractors, osteopaths, and other clinicians regularly encounter patients with back pain, posture changes, or suspected scoliosis. Many want more confidence in recognising risk, advising families, and knowing when to refer.
Common Knowledge Gaps
Practitioners often ask for clarity on:
- Which curves are urgent and which can be observed.
- When to refer to specialist centres.
- Best practice for bracing and scoliosis-specific exercise.
Dorsi’s Practitioner Education
Dorsi Spinal Institute offers:
- CPD-accredited workshops and webinars.
- Case-based learning on progression risk and imaging.
- Shadowing opportunities in clinic.
Shared Care Pathways
We welcome collaboration with community clinicians, providing clear reports, ongoing communication, and practical guidance for local follow-up.
