Dr. Vicente
Dr. Vicente has been a physical therapist for over 20 years. By combining scoliosis treatment based on the evolution of the Schroth Method, with fellowship training in Movement System Physical Therapy, Dr. Vicente uses a structured, systematic approach to identify movement patterns that may contribute to pain, asymmetry, stiffness, balance deficits, and functional limitations. This allows treatment to address not only the shape of the spine, but also how scoliosis influences movement throughout the entire body.
She is also an educator and a researcher with extensive experience in orthopedics and movement science. Her treatment recommendations are informed by both clinical expertise and research.
