Frankie Durkin, a 12-year-old who enjoys dancing, was diagnosed with scoliosis. In order to help correct her spine curvature, Frankie and her family turned to Physical Therapist Heather Finnegan, who uses the Schroth method, an exercise-based physical therapy approach for managing scoliosis.

Since April, Frankie and Heather have been working together to help elongate and stabilize her spine. Shortly after starting physical therapy, Frankie also was fitted with a thoracic-lumbar-sacral orthosis (TLSO) brace. This brace immobilizes and supports the upper back to the lower spine, helping to further correct her posture. Frankie wears the brace 21 to 22 hours a day, taking it off for physical therapy and dance classes.

Since April, Frankie's hard work in physical therapy and dedication to wearing her brace has paid off. Her scoliosis curve has decreased by seven degrees!
