Questions patients actually ask

$250 initial evaluation · $150 private follow-up session · $500 four-visit package (after evaluation) · $65 small-group Schroth class (offered once you've completed a few private sessions and know your program). Every private visit is a full hour, one-on-one with a licensed therapist.

We're an out-of-network provider with all insurance companies. Schroth and our other services bill under standard CPT codes, so if your plan covers out-patient physical therapy, you can typically submit our detailed statement (superbill) and be reimbursed at your plan's out-of-network rate. We provide the superbill; most patients find it a simple process.

Yes — HSA and FSA cards are accepted.

No — Florida allows direct access to physical therapy. Book directly online or call/text (305) 431-4422.

Send X-rays ahead if possible. Wear a sports bra or bathing suit that exposes your spine (no racerbacks). Bring your brace if you have one.

X-ray review (Cobb angle, curve type, remaining growth for kids), posture photos, education about your specific curve, and the start of your home exercise program. You leave understanding your spine — most patients tell us it's the first time anyone explained their X-ray.

Upright is a small team founded and led by Dr. Rebeca Correalima, now including a physical therapist and a physical therapist assistant, all trained in her approach. Every visit follows the same one-on-one format, whoever you see.

A three-dimensional, curve-specific exercise approach: corrective positions, elongation and de-rotation, rotational breathing, and strength work in the corrected position. Full explanation here.

That's the primary goal, and research supports scoliosis-specific exercise — especially during a child's growing years and alongside bracing. We link the studies on the Schroth page, and we'll always be honest about what your specific curve can expect.

No. Adults come for pain, posture, and function — and studies show improvement there, with some showing Cobb angle reduction in adults as well.

Bracing and Schroth are complements: the brace holds correction passively; therapy builds it actively and manages wear time. We also help assess brace fit and wean-in.

Set at the evaluation. Typically more frequent while learning, then tapering as your home program takes over — we build plans around your schedule and drive.

Small-group Schroth exercise classes ($65/class) for patients who've completed a few private sessions and know their corrections — a way to stay consistent without booking privates forever.
