The interview

Milene Callegari, Brazil

What is your profession:

I’m a physiotherapist
 

How is the rehabilitation treatment of spine diseases managed in your country?

In Brazil, I realise that many people use conventional exercises to treat scoliosis; there is no protocol, and they do not seek scientific knowledge for a more conservative or surgical treatment if necessary.
 

Scoliosis: how is it treated?

Many are still treated with RPG (Global Postural Reeducation), and many use swimming as a form of treatment.  Few professionals use and seek specific exercises to treat scoliosis.
 

What would you like to improve on the clinical practice currently followed in your country? 

Conduct with a better scientific basis for professionals to maintain clinical practice and have more results.

What can the Scoliosis Online Master Course PPSCT give you, and how do you think you can apply this knowledge in your daily clinical practice?

The course will give me more knowledge and a foundation in clinical practice, improving my assessment and conduct in the treatment of scoliosis.
