Dr. Katie Blanchard earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in 2018. Katie’s interest in treating scoliosis began in 2019 when she started to see an influx of teens/kids with scoliosis in her clinic. Over the years she has taken a multitude of courses leading to her specialization in scoliosis treatment including the Schroth Method, McKenzie Method, and Scoliopilates. She became L2 certified in the Schroth Method for treating scoliosis through the Schroth Barcelona Institute in 2021 and she has a special interest in working with both adolescents and adults to help them manage their scoliosis.

Due to the limitation in insurance coverage and lack of access to Schroth Method physical therapists nationwide, there is a gap in care for people with scoliosis. As a result, Katie has made it her mission to provide scoliosis treatment virtually in order to reach more people who need scoliosis specific exercise. Her unwavering dedication to helping others and her infectious enthusiasm inspires individuals from all walks of life. Dr. Katie's goal in 2024 is to help 500 people with scoliosis manage their spine better, stop the progression of their curve, get stronger, and gain confidence! She hopes to change the stigma that surgery is the only option for both adolescents and adults with scoliosis.
