Hi, I'm Ashley, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and BSPTS Schroth based-trained scoliosis specialist. I created this guide because too many adults are told they simply have to "live with" scoliosis or chronic back pain. My goal is to help you understand your options and give you practical, evidence-informed information so you can make confident decisions about your care.
"Every person's scoliosis is different. Your treatment should be too."
— Ashley Sapien, PT, DPT
Real Patients. Real Results.
Every person is different, but many adults experience meaningful improvements in pain, posture, confidence, and daily function through individualized Schroth physical therapy.
One of my adult patients came to Saguaro Physical Therapy after years of chiropractic care and persistent back pain. Simple movements, like getting out of bed, could take nearly 30 minutes because of pain and stiffness.
Through individualized Schroth-based treatment, posture correction, and targeted exercises, she gradually regained confidence in her movement and significantly reduced her pain—allowing her to return to activities that had become difficult.
Results
✓ Able to get out of bed comfortably
✓ Improved posture
✓ Significant reduction in daily pain
✓ Increased confidence with movement
"Ashley actually listened to what I was experiencing instead of rushing through my appointment. For the first time in years, I felt like someone understood my scoliosis and gave me a plan that made sense."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Schroth therapy help adults?
Yes. While adults generally won't see changes in their Cobb angle like growing children might, Schroth therapy can often help reduce pain, improve posture, increase body awareness, and make daily activities more comfortable.
Is this guide really free?
Yes! Simple enter your information and we'll email it directly to you.
Do I need a referral?
No. Arizona is a direct access state, so most people can schedule a physical therapy evaluation without a physician referral. If you are a Medicare patient, I will need a doctor to sign off on the plan. However, we don't need a referral to get started.
I've had scoliosis for years. Is it too late?
Not at all. Many adults seek Schroth therapy years—even decades—after their diagnosis and still benefit from individualized treatment.
What happens after I download the guide?
You'll receive the guide by email and, if you'd like additional support, you'll have the option to schedule a free Discovery Call to discuss your specific situation.
Do you accept insurance?
Saguaro Physical Therapy is a cash-based practice and is currently in-network only with Medicare. Many patients choose us because of our specialized one-on-one scoliosis care.
