What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About CLAY SCOLIOSIS CLINIC…

WES decided not to let scoliosis slow down his soccer game!​

"Wes has made great progress in learning to control his scoliosis to prevent it from getting worse as he grows and so he can maximize his performance with the sports he loves. Having a strong core will allow him to train the rest of his body more efficiently to reach his athletic GOALS!"

ERIN learned about scoliosis physical therapy and said no to "Wait and See" 

"My daughter, 13, was diagnosed with a 28 degree curve and we sought our own treatment options to try and prevent it from progressing. After seeking out the Clay Clinic, Rachel provided us with a cost conscious option to start treatment. She then provided us with flexible, timely, and expert treatment to fit the needs of my daughter. I would definitely recommend her services; she used our times wisely and taught my daughter how to continue the exercises at home."

SARA chose Schroth to give her daughters confidence with their scoliosis! 

I have two daughters that were both diagnosed with scoliosis in the spring of 2019 and found the Clay Scoliosis Clinic while trying to find more information about treatment options. While this diagnosis is scary in the “unknowns” of what form our ultimate treatment path will take, Rachel has given my daughters a purpose in that they now have some control over what is happening, by participating in their exercises. Rachel has a realistic approach and we understand this treatment may not prevent surgery, but will, at minimum reduce/eliminate pain and help them become stronger!​

A Message From Scoliosis Specialist, RACHEL CLAY

Rachel Clay, Schroth Physical Therapist
Are you overwhelmed by the diagnosis that your child has scoliosis? Is the conflicting information about what is BEST leaving you stressed and confused? Are desperate to make the RIGHT choice to ensure a healthy, happy future for your child?

I understand because I have walked it too.

I was diagnosed with scoliosis as a teen and treated with the "WAIT AND SEE" method. It never progressed to the point of bracing and I was not offered any therapy. By the time I stopped growing I was told that it was too mild to ever cause issues, BUT IT DID...

 Numbness and weakness in my right leg began in adulthood and threatened to cut short my passion for dance. Taking control of my posture using the Schroth Method and some of the principles I will share in this E-Book allowed me to resolve my symptoms and stick with the activities that enrich my life. I am no longer afraid that my scoliosis will worsen until I have to have surgery.

That's why I redirected my focus as a therapist to specialize in scoliosis. I want kids and teens to have access to the exercises I did not, so they can thrive and minimize issues later in life.

At the time I was diagnosed I wish I could  have known about ALL the options. I wish there would have been a resource to tell me what to expect. That’s why we made this just for you. 

You see, parents of kids with scoliosis in Saint Louis ask us the same questions…

  • What caused my child to get scoliosis? 
  • What is the BEST course of treatment?
  • How can I prevent a major surgery?

We have good news: you don’t have to do all the research! This E-Book is meant to be your guide. It is a comprehensive place to start so that you can make a decision based on the current facts. 

Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action.

The one thing we can guarantee is that by doing nothing, your child's scoliosis will still be an issue.
So the next important thing is to take action!
