Three days devoted entirely to you and your spine.
No rushing between appointments. No figuring it out alone from videos. Just focused, hands-on Schroth-FLX™ work with Dr. Karen Pettine, DPT, in the light and quiet of the New Mexico high desert, alongside a small group of women who understand what living with scoliosis is like.
