Our Schroth certified Scoliosis Therapist can help you with scoliosis, kyphosis, or other spine care needs. The Schroth Method is a 3 dimensional treatment approach with the aim to halt curve progression, reduce pain and improve cosmesis in both adolescents and adults with scoliosis. For Schroth treatment in Jacksonville, FL contact us online or call 904-372-3161.
How is the Schroth Method of Physical Therapy different from traditional Physical therapy? Scoliosis is a three dimensional spinal disorder and therefore should be treated using a 3D approach. The schroth method uses 3 dimensional posture specific exercises and breathing to stabilize the spine. The exercises work on axial elongation and derotation to decrease spinal curve, and reduce pain/ stiffness.

Her love for helping people brought her to the world of scoliosis. She proudly founded ScoliosisPTJax in 2019 with a focus on Scoliosis for both children, adolescents, and adults. Donne graduated from the University of Georgia with a BS in Biology and received her Master's degree in Physical Therapy from the Medical College of Georgia.
The Schroth Method is a specialized therapeutic approach for treating scoliosis now available in Jacksonville, FL. We understand that scoliosis is a complex condition that affects every individual's health and well-being in a different manner. At ScoliosisPTJax, you and your scoliosis are our primary focus.
The Schroth Method uses Posture Specific Scoliosis Exercises (PSSE) and breathwork for the treatment of spinal disorders including Scoliosis and Kyphosis. Scoliosis is more than just a "C" or "S" curve. It is a 3D rotation of the spinal vertebra. The goal is to asymmetrically strengthen weak muscles and lengthen short muscles while expanding into the collapsed concave areas.
Pilates is a type of exercise designed to strengthen, tone, and stretch your body, while also calming your mind. The exercises may look simple but when done correctly each movement is designed to take a great deal of precision and control. There is a great emphasis on mindfulness and technique with each movement when done with the guidance of a professional scoliosis pilates instructor.
Oftentimes the treatment options are confusing and the information on the internet is scary. As a parent myself, I understand that we all want what is best for our children. How do we decide between the difficult treatment options available. Parents often feel frustrated and the adolescent feels they have no control over their spine.

Donne was recommended to me about 6 months ago by Pilates instructor after discussing my physical limitations due to sciatica, scoliosis. She specializes in the Schroth method for scoliosis. I have done physical therapy over the years off and on but seem to be in general and really didn’t help. Also had seen a chiropractor, massage therapy which was good but didn’t address my pain and hip unevenness
I signed up for her free evaluation and it was the best thing that I have done. She did a great assessment and any x-rays or MRI that you can take also very helpful. I had been wearing a lift to

Donne Ordile is just amazing. I can’t fully articulate how much she has helped my condition and my quality of life. I have moderate 4-curve scoliosis that was diagnosed as a teen and never properly treated until working with Donne. As I entered my 40s, my pain level was unacceptable and my mobility started to become limited. I was worried that decline would be inevitable because nothing I tried really helped. In my 20s and 30s, I worked with several chiropractors and massage therapists; while they gave me temporary relief, none could improve my condition in a meaningful way. I also practiced

Our teenaged daughter was recently diagnosed with scoliosis. We started this journey with absolutely no idea of where to turn and what to do... Donne is an incredible wealth of knowledge: from the different brace options available (Nemours only offers one style of brace- there are many!), to the physical and holistic therapies available that can also help, to connecting us with other teens going thru the same issue for moral support- her help and guidance has been invaluable.
We are seeing really good results in my daughters spinal curve in only 2 months- the brace, Schroth Therapy from Donne

We have learned so very much! We are so pleased with our son’s progress. Donne has gone above and beyond for us. She is knowledgeable and really individualized the treatment to the person. She is professional and most of all kind- we adore her. All who have the privilege of working with her walk away each session for the better.

Donne is amazing. I found ScoliosisPTJax after searching out Schroth exercises for my son when he was diagnosed with scoliosis. After talking with several places, I knew Donne was the right person to see. Even after our initial phone call I could tell she was kind, patient and does this work as a real service to her clients. Donne puts a lot of individual time and effort into her patients. She carefully crafts exercises for her students, often tweaking them as you work so she can see the exact muscle move as it should. You can really see how much she knows about scoliosis and the correct movements

I have suffered from chronic back pain due to a spinal issue for my entire adult life. While the underlying issue can never be "cured", my only option is to try and stay as pain free as possible. I have tried chiropractic, massage, injections, medications, etc. with no beneficial result. However, Donne's approach to scoliosis has helped tremendously with both my pain level and mobility. Most of the work is up to you as you have to be consistent with what she teaches, but if you do your part, her methods work.

I was recently diagnosed with mild Scoliosis. I am an adult in her early forties, and did not even know that I had it until I was in so much pain I could not do any normal tasks such as cooking, folding clothes, walking for exercise or cleaning my home. I have also had terrible posture from the time I was in grade school. Donne was able to treat me for both my scoliosis using Schroth and PRI, as well as fix my posture, which is huge to me. I am now able to stand up tall and in alignment. I think anyone suffering from back pain, and not just those with scoliosis would benefit from Donne's PT program

I just started bringing our 16 year old son to get therapy here. He attended 2 sessions before everything was locked down in March. We are excited to see how these exercises can help bring him pain relief and make him stronger. Donne is very helpful, patient, and friendly. She explained and demonstrated all the exercises so well!
