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.

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.

Viktoria Agaronnik has been my physical therapist for the past 3 years. I have a severe case of scoliosis and her treatment using the Schroth method has made an enormous difference in my life. My constant back pain has improved thanks to her, my posture has improved, and in general, my quality of life has improved. She customizes her program to the individual needs of each of her clients and is constantly looking for new ways to help improve her clients’ well-being. Her expertise in understanding and treating scoliosis is unparalleled and her compassion is always felt. I honestly don’t know where I would be without her!!

Viktoria has been such an amazing Schroth physical therapist for my daughter, who has idiopathic scoliosis. She’s extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and hardworking. She’s also kind and very caring, which makes all the difference when it comes to motivating our daughter to do her exercises at home. The discipline with which she approaches the sessions has taught my daughter a great deal about the importance of taking care of her condition. My daughter has a significant curve, and through her work with Viktoria, along with her brace, she has avoided an increase in her curve. We are so grateful to have found Viktoria! I recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for a dedicated Schroth physical therapist.

My son has avoided spinal surgery thanks to Dr. Agaronnik’s guidance. We are very grateful to her. Victoria was treating my son for kyphosis with Schroth method. She first built up his muscle strength due to low muscle tone. Her expertise of the subject allowed my son to make a great progress. She tailored and adjusted excercises for his needs. Victoria is result oriented, loving and patient. It was a life changing experience for my son and family. I recommend Victoria without any hesitation

My daughter and I had wonderful experience with Viktoria. While treating my daughter’s idiopathic scoliosis, Viktoria was very thorough, caring and knowledgeable, understanding the curvature and preparing specific exercises to correct it, and, with a parental permission, made recordings to go over them with me and my daughter. During the session, Viktoria gave her 100% attention to my daughter, and answered any questions and gave suggestions thereafter. I recommend Victoria wholeheartedly.

My daughters have been getting Schroth therapy sessions for scoliosis with Viktoria Agaronnik and I could not be more happy! Her tailored sessions allowed us all realize how important it is to control and stabilize the curve especially as children with scoliosis undergo growth spurts. Viktoria developed a whole array of exercises that the girls practice improving postural alignment and increase back muscle strength. She is so great and patient with kids and teens – they feel empowered!
— Lola, December 2017
Victoria is an incredible physiotherapist. She not only treats the patient with Schroth method, but teaches the patient (and parents) how to develop a lifelong regimen specifically designed to treat and cope with the effects of scoliosis. Thanks to Victoria, our son is now able to understand how different physical activities affect his spine and what he needs to do to try to mitigate the increase of the curve.
— Lesya, December 2017
I’m so grateful that I have found dr. Agaronnik who treats my daughter ‘s kyphosis with Schroth therapy. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, dedicated and a very caring doctor! Dr. Viktoria gives 100% to her patients and takes time to educate parents on what needs to be done outside of her therapy sessions for positive and sustainable results. I would definitely recommend Dr. Agaronnik, she is a great specialist!

I am very pleased with Dr. Viktoria Agaronnik’s services. When I drop my son off for his PT session I feel so comfortable. Viktoria’s knowledge of Schroth therapy is exceptional. My son has been with her for almost two years and the growth and the development from him has been outstanding. She has taught and guided him in this difficult journey. The improvement from day one is amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Viktoria as a physical therapist.

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, while cooperating with home program was difficult for me due to the young age.
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 to take it seriously at that time.I started PT with Viktoria and in 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 cues . Viktoria worked very hard pushing me not to give up. She has also suggested that I should get a brace to wear at night in order to help me improve my curve flexibility. After 5 months of Schroth therapy ( with 3months being delivered vitually) I took X-rays and found out that my curve reduced to 25 degrees. 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 not to come back because the curve reduction retained and annual monitoring was no longer recommended. 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 a 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.

Viktoria guided us correctly at a very crucial and important time in my daughter’s life. She urged us to seek the correct medical supervision. She pushed my daughter to wear her brace She treated my daughter with care and compassion pushing her to rise above the challenge and adapting exercising aa a way of life.

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!

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.

We are so grateful to have found Dr. Viktoria Agaronnik to help our son who was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. She has been treating him using the Schroth method and he has learned so many invaluable techniques that he practices at home to help improve the curve of his spine. He has improved so much under her care. She is a compassionate, caring, patient, kind, and motivating physical therapist. She explains how and why each exercise helps which encourages our son to practice them regularly. After each session, Viktoria shares videos of the different exercises our son learned. These help us support our son at home. We highly recommend Viktoria.

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

Dr. Viktoria, is by far, the most professional physical therapist with an immense knowledge & expertise in Schroth therapy. I’m a 52yr. old female, with thoracolumbar scoliosis since childhood. I have been under Dr. Viktoria’s care for the past 10 months. Dr. Viktoria did an extensive evaluation of me, including reviewing imaging studies I provided during my first appointment.The next sessions thereafter, consisted of teaching & explaining of Schroth exercises using detailed breathing techniques & elongation exercises on the wall ladder.At the start of every session, Dr Viktoria reviewed from the past week and then taught new exercises. 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! I have never had such positive results before this, so I continue my therapy with Dr. Viktoria. Not only has helped me physically, but emotionally as well. Her kind and caring words of motivation has helped me through this process.I am grateful I have found such a devoted & patient physical therapist! So, if you are looking for a scoliosis therapist for a child or an adult ..….look no further, Dr. Viktoria is definitely the right therapist for you!

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!
