Our Approach

Unlike in traditional physical therapy, Dr. Vicente integrates the Schroth Method principles with movement system analysis to improve how your body moves.

Schroth Method Physical Therapy
for Scoliosis

Trained through the Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS), Dr. Vicente provides individualized scoliosis care using physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises (PSSE) based on Schroth principles.

Treatment focuses on:
• Curve-specific exercises based on your individual pattern
• Breathing techniques to improve rib cage expansion
• Postural correction in all three planes

Who this service is for:
• Teens diagnosed with scoliosis
• Adults with scoliosis-related pain or stiffness
• Individuals looking for non-surgical scoliosis treatment
• Active individuals with posture or spinal asymmetries

Movement‑Based Physical Therapy

Comprehensive movement-based physical therapy focused on identifying and treating the root cause of pain and movement dysfunction. Using advanced movement system analysis, Dr. Vicente specializes in identifying faulty movement patterns, asymmetries, and compensations that contribute to pain or injury.

Treatment focuses on:
• Combination of targeted corrective exercise, movement retraining, and manual therapy to improve alignment, reduce pain, prevent flare-ups, and optimize movement efficiency

Who this service is for:
• Individuals with persistent or recurring pain
• Those with postural imbalances or movement dysfunction
• Athletes or active individuals looking to improve movement efficiency
• Individuals recovering from injury or seeking to prevent re-injury
• Anyone who has not improved with traditional physical therapy

Functional Movement Screen (FMS®) & Corrective Exercise Program

Using the Functional Movement Screen (FMS®), Dr. Vicente evaluates seven foundational movement patterns to identify mobility limitations, stability deficits, and asymmetries that may affect how you move, train, and perform. The FMS® is a trusted, research‑supported tool used by athletes, coaches, and fitness professionals worldwide.

Treatment focuses on:
• Improve mobility and flexibility
• Build stability and movement control
• Correct asymmetries and movement imbalances
• Enhance movement efficiency and body awareness

Who this service is for:
• Athletes and active individuals who want to improve movement quality, reduce injury risk, and enhance performance, even without current pain

  • "I saw Dr. Vicente multiple times throughout middle school and high school for my scoliosis and for annual movement checkups before each season. Because of her detailed assessments and personalized treatment approach, I was the only one on my Division I collegiate volleyball team who did not get injured. Her impact on my long‑term health and athletic performance has been incredible."

  • “I am pleased to have the opportunity to attest to the knowledge and clinical skills of Dr. Vicente. Her prevailing characteristic is the commitment to be as knowledgeable and skilled as possible in all that she does. I have had the good fortune to know her for over 10 years and to observe how she has systematically added to her understanding and practice ability. As indicated by her qualifications, she has taken learning opportunity after learning opportunity. Since completing her fellowship in movement systems in 2016, Dr. Vicente has continued to take advantage of every chance to continue to interact with movement system practice. Because I've had the opportunity to watch her practice and know how skilled she is I have referred patients to her they have all spoken highly of how good and effective she was in their care of course they also comment on how pleasant and caring she is because of doctor Vicente understanding and communication skills she has also helped me in my colleague teach courses in movement system practice she has guided her colleagues in understanding and applying the basics associated with being a movement expert. I can think of a few people that I value as highly as Dr. Vicente was a wonderful person and one of the most competent practitioners in all aspects of physical therapy.”

  • "I have been working with Dr. Vicente for over 1.5 years. The first treatment provided significant relief using her Schroth Method training. I have had back issues associated with my scoliosis for many decades. Her methodical approach and custom treatment has helped me significantly reduce discomfort associated with my curvature. I am so grateful for her expertise and look forward to continuing our work together."
