Jenni Someillan PT, DPTA Doctor of Physical Therapy with 20 years of experience. She currently treats adolescents and adults at her office in San Rafael after a stint of treating adolescents at Stanford Children's Hospital. Jenni is uniquely qualified to teach her patients personalized Schroth Method exercises. She uses personalized techniques to open collapsed areas of the spine and facilitate neuromuscular re-education to maintain optimal spinal alignment.
Jenni is not only knowledgeable about scoliosis rehabilitation through her professional experience and credentials, but as a person who lives with scoliosis herself, she has the unique ability to truly understand what her patients are feeling (emotionally and physically). This special viewpoint gives her an exclusive ability to connect with her patients and facilitate spinal curve corrections, which she can actually feel in her own body each day. Her educational background includes unique mentoring programs with Kaiser Physical Therapy Residency Program and clinical education associated with UCSF at San Francisco General Hospital. Jenni has continued to enhance her skills as an orthopedic PT through advanced manual therapy courses, master level foot/ankle rehabilitation trainings and scoliosis rehabilitation trainings. Jenni completed her scoliosis training directly under Dr. Rigo (developer of the Rigo System Cheneau Brace, one of the founders of SOSORT, world-renowned scoliosis expert and founder of the Barcelona Scoliosis Physiotherapy School) and has been dedicated to help prevent curve progression through her work with adolescents at Stanford Children's Hospital. Jenni was naturally drawn to be a scoliosis rehabilitation specialist through her own experience and pain from scoliosis. Jenni suffered from back pain and nerve pain into her leg and arm from her own scoliosis imbalance. She was able to achieve temporary relief with traditional physical therapy, chiropractic treatments and yoga but the only treatment that resolved her pain was the Schroth method. After discovering the Schroth method, she studied, trained and practiced this method on her own spine. This first hand experience gives her the unique ability to understand her patients’ experience and how to facilitate the most effective manual corrections to support the spine in an optimal alignment. Jenni feels grateful to have found balance through the Schroth method and is passionate about sharing this method with others to help them find balance, resolve pain and live an active life. When Jenni is not working or studying she loves to spend time with her family and friends hiking/biking in nature, traveling to other countries or dancing. |
