Reese’s Scoliosis Journey
Reese started having shoulder pain in April 2018. As her mom, who has been an occupational therapist/certified hand therapist for almost 20 years, I was sure it was due to her playing tennis many hours a day for many years. I assumed her rotator cuff was inflamed and that she would need a break from […]
(Phil and Molly at) APT changed my life for the better.
Working with APT has changed my life for the better. I have always been hypermobile, with mild scoliosis. Despite being reasonably fit, once I became 50, I started to have some serious mobility problems due to injuries created by this hypermobility. Suddenly I couldn’t drive or walk without pain, and with 3 sons and an […]
I no longer have to live with pain everyday
I have worked with Molly Miller for three months for help with a lifelong scoliosis and spinal fusion. The exercises have been successful from the start in that I no longer have to live with pain everyday. Molly is coaching me in how to sit, stand and walk in ways that do not worsen my […]
I thought I would need “hands-on” help
A friend of a friend recommended APT for therapy for my scoliosis as she was very happy with the therapy she received for her scoliosis. Because of COVID-19, my sessions have all been through teletherapy. I was skeptical about the effectiveness of this method of communicating because I thought I would need “hands-on” help in […]

Scoliosis Treatment from the Teenaged Perspective
When I was 14 years old in 2006 my family and I found out that I had scoliosis. It means my spine is curved. It is sure that all spines have curves, however when there are abnormal side-to-side curves in the spine, it is called scoliosis. I learned that a curve is considered bad if […]
Scoliosis. . .
I must admit, that I was more than a little skeptical of postural restoration when I first heard about it. I had heard claims of non-surgical ways of arresting the progress of scoliosis, but frankly didn’t believe these claims. My orthopedist had only told me about very invasive surgical correction for my progressing scoliosis. He […]
61 Year Old Female with Scoliosis
I have been working with Susan Henning since the autumn of 2010. I am a 61 year old female whose scoliosis was diagnosed at the age of ten during a pediatric check up. I was most fortunate to avoid back surgery since my spinal growth stopped at about twelve years old. I was left with […]
Orthopedic specialist was very surprised to see such an improvement (in x-rays) in a very short period of time…..
Mrs. Susan Henning at Advance Physical Therapy (Chapel Hill) is an outstanding professional. It is very rare these days to find such a dedicated health care provider who truly cares about well being of the patient. She is very knowledgeable in physical therapy, understands the important aspects of health issues and finds the way to […]
Adult Manages Scoliosis and Kyphosis
I have a smaller thoracic curve and kyphosis as well. I have tried different physical therapists, acupuncture, massage and exercise but nothing worked for the pain I was experiencing or the progression of my curve. I felt helpless knowing that a very extensive surgery might be the only possible way to deal with this issue. […]
