#1 TESTIMONIAL – Isaac’s Story

Isaac F | April 2024

Dr. Viktoria Agaronnik is in my opinion one of the world’s top physical therapists specializing in SCOLIOSIS therapy including Schroth and other methods. She has strong experience in pediatric therapy with an invaluable combination of skills, professionalism and wisdom. Our son was diagnosed with a severe case of infantile scoliosis. It came as a total shock to us as there is absolutely no family history of scoliosis. We had no idea where to turn. We went for genetic testing and there was no genetic factor that came up. His curve was progressing and there was very little optimism in sight. Dr. Agaronnik started physiotherapy for him when he was 2.5 years old. She helped us transition from a cast to a brace and has kept our son stable, active and healthy.

#2 TESTIMONIAL – Jenelle’s Story

Jenine M | April 2024

Janelle McGrowder, my daughter, was diagnosed at the age 9 years with scoliosis at 52 degrees, and immediate surgery was recommended. Concerned about the new diagnosis and sudden threat of major surgery I turned to my knowledge as a physical therapy assistant seeking alternatives.

Luckily, I connected with Miss Viktoria, a physical therapist specializing in scoliosis. Despite the distance to her clinic, I knew I had to try it for my daughter. From the moment we met, Miss Viktoria exuded confidence and expertise. She examined Jenelle and told me that Jenelle looked flexible enough to improve with bracing and therapy program and suggested that it would be worth it to try it. She gave me hope and we followed her lead!

#9 TESTIMONIAL – Dorothy’s story

Dorothy – April 2024

I was lucky to meet Viktoria when I was searching for Schroth physical therapist to treat my kyphosis that I had for many years. My back started to get achy and regular PT did not seem to help much. Viktoria made me aware of how to keep my best posture, how to breath better and how to stretch my body. She made me realize that I must keep stretching and moving. Just sitting around is not good.

Chavy – January 2023

My son has significant neuro-muscular scoliosis (diagnosed when he was one years old) and is severely developmentally delayed. When we started with Viktoria he could not crawl, transition, stand independently, walk, etc. I was searching for a therapist who can take care of my son’s complex needs and was recommended to see Viktoria. When Viktoria took on my son’s case, I started to see a completely different child! Viktoria’s expertise is astounding. It is like she has x-ray vision.

Cynthia | December 2023

Thank you to Viktoria, she has helped my daughter strengthen, elongate, and ultimately reverse much of the curvature. Her caring, calming approach has my 8-year-old engaged, excited and working hard to do her specialized exercises! Coming from a strong family history of scoliosis. I know what it’s like to have a spinal fusion and having my daughter avoid that, has become extremely important to me. Having Viktoria as a resource and trusted medical professional has allowed me to let go of some of the anxiety and helplessness that comes with an idiopathic scoliosis diagnosis. Most importantly, it’s reduced my daughter’s curve!

Luba | December 2023

I was caught off guard when after being away for the summer to learn that my son’s slight curve that we were watching had to progressed very rapidly. Our pediatrician referred us to get an X-ray and told us to look into Schroth therapy. I contacted about five different Schroth therapists looking for advice and guidance. Viktoria immediately responded and offered us advice and a gentle ear before we even had decided to work with her. Viktoria is very knowledgeable and seems to know everything scoliosis related. She advised that we start some exercises before getting his brace. Her knowledge has been a huge factor in my son’s success and progress. Viktoria’s techniques helped my son feel much more comfortable wearing his brace in a relatively short amount of time. We are truly honored and blessed to have Viktoria on our team. My son’s curve has vastly improved, as well as his overall strength. My son and I highly recommend Viktoria and overall are ecstatic with his results.

Atoosa | October 2022

My son has scoliosis with a double curve, so we needed to find someone who was able to work with him using the scroth method. Viktorias PT style allowed him to work hard, progressively strengthen the proper muscles for this specific issue while providing targeted exercise designed for his particular curves. She monitored his progress, and kept him motivated and interested. He now has the knowledge to work at home on his PT while working with new exercises that she introduces for variety. She was our advisor all through the process of getting a brace, always having the best recommendations as well as monitoring the feedback with other providers through this process. His work with her has brought him new physical strength which should carry him through his life minimizing the pain of scoliosis while maintaining proper posture. She was and still is invaluable to his recovery.

Josh | November 2022

I cannot rave enough about Victoria. Because of her expert guidance our son avoided back surgery. I have never seen anyone take so much time and put so much detailed attention into making the perfect PT routine. She really really cared from day one. She is incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we got him the proper brace as well. We had a bad brace which he refused to wear. She set us up with the best people and got him an excellent brace which he actually wore for 16 hours per day. She also helped to Convince him of how important it was to wear. She took so much time and spoke to the doctors and provided them details.  She was encouraging and kind as well.  She guided us through a very very scary time in our lives. We were terrified our son would need back surgery as he had 2 curves which were rapidly getting worse. In addition he has pectus which made things a bit more complicated. She tailored a precise and detailed PT routine for his specific needs; offsetting the curves and building his muscles in very precise ways. She made detailed measurements and kept on top of his curves and rotations. She made sure we got him the proper equipment to be able to do his exercises at home. She really guided us and also provided so much support. She truly demonstrates excellence and cares so much about what she does.  She is incredibly knowledgeable and knows exactly what she’s doing. Our son is doing very well now and we are grateful.

During the session, Viktoria gave her 100% attention to my daughter, and answered any questions and gave suggestions thereafter. I recommend Victoria wholeheartedly.

She devised a  detailed home exercise program for me and would modify it on a weekly basis . She incorporated Pilates and strength-training which helped improve my core strength &endurance so I can function  in carrying out tasks in my everyday life.Dr. Viktoria has helped me improve my posture by decreasing the degree of my spinal rotation from 11 degrees to 4 degrees.  I no longer feel discomfort in my ribs & feel so much stronger in my core!

Maria | November 2023

From before I can remember I was always the kid with no balance, wobbly and constantly bumping into things. I never had much control over my body. Part of the reason was because I was born with one leg longer than the other. This problem eventually led to scoliosis and kyphosis in my back. When I was in seventh grade the doctors placed me in a back brace. At first I was devastated, embarrassed and never felt weaker. It was suggested while I was in the brace to begin physical therapy to help improve my scoliosis. A close friend of my mother had suggested that I should see Viktoria.  With time and patience Viktoria changed my life! I was seeing her individually first and over time, as I was getting better, I started to work in a group.  The PT groups were very fun to attend.

It’s been five years since I started therapy with Viktoria and I’m proud to say in those four years Viktoria helped me to decrease my scoliosis curve, regain proper balance and  improve my confidence. She was like a mother to me throughout the whole process and I couldn’t be more grateful to have someone like Viktoria in my life. She swept in like an angel and taught me to embrace the condition I was in and pushed me to always strengthen myself and endure through the hard times!

Lydia | November 2023

I have had Viktoria as my physical therapist for scoliosis since 2014. Throughout my journey with scoliosis, Vika has been there as a steady source of support for myself and my family. Without Vika, my health would have worsened and seeing her consistently kept me aware of my physical state and helped me learn how to take care of myself. Vika is a very caring person with a deep passion for helping people with scoliosis. Her support, help, and reassurance is much appreciated and we recommend Vika to anyone of any age who is struggling with scoliosis. 

Natasha | March 2023

In 2014 I was diagnosed with Scoliosis by an orthopedic surgeon who I was referred to by my pediatrician after he noticed a strange curve with my spine. We were told there were three options:  brace, do nothing, or a specialized therapy called the Schroth Method.

As I was young, 10 years old, my parents decided a brace wasn’t the right decision and instead decided to try Schroth Therapy. After some searching online, Viktoria popped up, she was near our location and was certified. At that time, I was one of her first clients, I remember her flying to Barcelona to learn new techniques and methods even after being certified because helping people was a passion of hers. I was  10 and my curve was 22 degrees. I can proudly say that my curve has not increased while I was doing  treatment with Viktoria. After 6 months of PT we decided to take a break as the curve seemed stable. Also, cooperating with home program was difficult for me as I was very young . 

At the age of 15 I have experienced fast and significant progression of scoliosis to about 40 degrees. We decided to resume Schroth therapy and I took it seriously at that time. I started PT with Viktoria and in two months the world shot down due to COVID 19 . We had to go on line, which was not easy as I had to learn all the exercises through visual and verbal instructions . Viktoria worked very hard pushing me not to give up. She has also suggested that I should get a brace to wear at night to help me improve my curve flexibility.  

After 5 months of Schroth therapy (with 3months being delivered virtually) I took X-rays and found out that my curve reduced to 25 degrees.   We were so happy!!

We have continued with virtual Schroth sessions through the summer and transitioned back to in -person sessions next fall. During PT sessions Viktoria continued to encourage me to work on improving strength and posture. She has also taught me that I can help myself to ease the pain that comes along with scoliosis, which included pain from the curve, the muscle, and the lower back. Along the way Viktoria encouraged and aided my treatment and self-treatment, always explaining and teaching the reasoning and anatomy behind each breath as Schroth method is focuses on breathing in particular way that helps to put the body back into place.

Viktoria is not just an expert but a coach. She guided me through the process and helped me to reduce my curve and maintain reduction after I stopped bracing. After nearly 3 years of treatment, being 18, we went to the hospital for a yearly checkup and were told that the curve reduction retained, and annual monitoring was no longer needed. 

 I attribute my success to Viktoria’s efforts as she led me along this path to recovery with patience and thoughtfulness. I am particularly grateful for the skills and self-discipline that she taught me. The best thing you can do for your condition is learn how to treat yourself, it will incredibly improve your quality of life and there is no one more well suited to help than Viktoria.
