Noticed any of these in your child?
Check everything that sounds like you.
A full-body assessment gives you clear answers and a plan, so you're not left to "watch and wait" without knowing what to do.
Schedule an Assessment
"Watch and wait" isn't a plan. Early, smart action is.
If you've noticed uneven shoulders, a visible lean, or clothes that fit crooked, it could be more than a growth spurt. Scoliosis, a sideways curve of the spine, is common in school-aged kids and teens, and some curves progress during growth spurts. That's why early assessment and the right plan matter. At Back In Motion, we work with families across Fort Myers and Cape Coral to strengthen the whole system around the curve. Common early signs:
- One shoulder blade sticks out more than the other
- Clothing hangs unevenly
- Hips or ribs appear rotated or uneven
- Leaning to one side while standing or walking
- Back pain, muscle fatigue, or poor posture
"Watch and wait" vs. a clear plan

Common questions from parents
Can physical therapy fix scoliosis?
Physical therapy can't straighten the spine, but scoliosis-specific exercise can improve posture, strength, body awareness, and comfort, and it's an important part of care for many kids and teens. We work alongside your child's doctor, who monitors the curve.
Does this replace bracing or my child's doctor?
No. If your child's doctor recommends bracing or other treatment, we support that plan. Our role is to build strength, mobility, and good movement habits, and we're happy to coordinate with their physician.
How do I know if my child needs an assessment?
If you notice uneven shoulders or hips, a rib hump when they bend forward, clothes that hang unevenly, or a lean to one side, it's worth having checked. Your pediatrician can also screen for scoliosis.
Can my child keep playing sports?
Most kids can, and staying active is good for them. We'll give clear guidance on what's safe and how to build strength for the sports they love.
