Laura Peterson is a Vancouver based Physiotherapist, focusing on scoliosis treatment.
She is available in Vancouver and Cloverdale.
My Background
I’m inspired by my personal experience with scoliosis during adolescence which included bracing, exercises and surgery.
I am excited to help others with scoliosis to improve their spinal alignment through corrective exercises. Some of the benefits of this treatment are potentially avoiding surgery, improved body image, prevention of curve progression and the ability to participate in an active meaningful life.

Scoliosis treatment is primarily exercise based, with custom exercises tailored to your specific curve type.
I am also trained in manual therapy and IMS which may be used in addition to exercises in some cases.
“
Excellent help!!! Went from barely walking to medium mobility. This was a last gasp try before going for back surgery. Now I feel that will not be required
But you do have to do the exercises for it to help, but at least they are the correct ones to do.
No other physio or chiropractor was willing to try much for my case.” Bradley
