Align Scoliosis Physical Therapy

Fantastic experience: I have truly enjoyed working with Kristin over the past year and a half. At 73 I developed a severe case of sciatica due to my scoliosis and was referred for physical therapy by my doctor at HSS. Happily I found Dr. Kristin Romeo, a Schroth specialist. She was so positive from the start. Through massage work she helped relax the muscles that were pinching my sciatic nerve and instructed me in a whole series of exercises to strengthen the muscles that support my lower lumbar region. It was a slow process at first due to the level of pain I was experiencing that limited the amount of exercise I could tolerate, but Kristin never gave up on me. I can happily state that I am currently pain free. I continue to do the many exercises she taught me and try to stay as active as I can to keep my back muscles strong. I cannot thank Kristin enough for not giving up on me and recommend her most highly!

Fantastic experience: Kristin is a very knowledgable and caring physical therapist. I came to her with a significantly curved spine and uneven hips that had been getting worse over the years. She quickly identified things I could do to align my back better -- correcting my posture, working stretched-out muscles on the convex side and reaching tall to expand the concavity. It wasn't easy but she pushed me to work much harder than I thought I could and in just a few weeks I was able to get into a noticeably better alignment. Her expert coaching and genuine concern made a big difference and I would recommend her to anyone with scoliosis.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Romeo is a great physical therapist! She’s very knowledgeable and professional all while keeping a friendly and comfortable environment. Since meeting with Kristin, I feel stronger and more confident in managing my curves. Not to mention, I no longer experience back pain thanks to the Schroth based exercises she has taught me. I highly recommend Kristin to anyone seeking treatment for scoliosis!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Kristin for Physical Therapy if you have scoliosis! She sees patients with a wide range of ages and degrees of curve. Not only is she highly knowledgeable and professional in her filed, but also very encouraging, truly caring and just an amazing person to work with. I completed the basic Schroth program with her and will continue seeing her for PT--she is the best!

Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with moderate scoliosis at the age of 13 and at the time I was told by my orthopedist there wasn't anything I could do to treat my curvature as my growth plates had closed - however, after noticing that my shoulders were becoming especially uneven this past summer, I sought out physical therapy to see what could be done to stop progression. Kristin has been a lifesaver from the beginning! I noticed a difference in my posture right away, and Kristin has always made sure to give me exercises that I could do at home or while traveling. I always look forward to my sessions with Kristin, she's the best!
