Scottsdale Scoliosis & Spine Therapy

Ashley is amazing! She made me feel super comfortable and always checked in to make sure we were addressing all my concerns. I used to get a lot of sciatic pain down my leg but haven’t had that problem since! Overall my back pain has gone down to almost nothing. My main concern when coming in was being able to run and lift weights without causing further stress to my spine. Ashley showed me some great exercises and stretches that she modified for my specific curve. And now I’m able to get back to doing the things I love without pain or discomfort. I can’t recommend her or this clinic enough!

Ashley is terrific! Very knowledgeable. Explains how to do exercises along with why they are beneficial. Awesome personality, always has a smile on her face.

My mom & I saw Ashley Sapien because we both have scoliosis. Ashley is warm, patient, responsive to messages, easy to connect with, and a lot of fun to work with. She is very knowledgeable about scoliosis and the Schroth method, and took as much time as was needed to help us understand the PT exercises and how they would correct each of our unique spinal curvatures. She made us work! But our sessions were so enjoyable and went by very quickly. I highly recommend her!

I saw Dr. Houlihan for 8 hours of scoliosis physical therapy this month. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and his program exceeded all my expectations. You can tell he is one of the rare doctors who really wants the best for you and is not trying to rip you off. This program was 100% worth the money. I now have a much deeper understanding of my scoliosis thanks to his patient and thorough explanation with many helpful diagrams, models, and images. One of my favorite things about the program was how he would record everything we practiced at the office so I have the perfect guide to review and practice at home. After just a few weeks, I already feel significantly less pain and more confidence. I would highly recommend his services to anyone with scoliosis!

We went to Scottsdale Scoliosis and Spine Therapy with my 14 year son and Dr. Aidan Houlihan worked with him. He is great and very kind, very thorough. He did explained everything in detail and he made my son feel empowered and confident. We can see the results and his condition improved very well after the exercises done under his supervision and guidance. We will continue to work with Dr. Aidan in the future for sure! Very pleased with his experience and his program!

Dr. Houlihan made our 12 year old daughter feel very comfortable in talking about her scoliosis, and educating us all about the schroth method in a way that connected with her. The PT sessions were demanding yet he made it fun and continually educated us all about what he was doing and how it could help. He gave her fun tests to make sure she was not only learning the physical but also the theoretical side. The overall experience has been excellent, we are excited to see if this approach can help in avoiding surgery.

I have been seeing Dr. Houlihan for my scoliosis for a few weeks now and have already noticed an improvement in my day to day life. He has taught me so much about my spine, I feel as though I have a greater understanding about my curve and scoliosis. He is very friendly and a great instructor. The videos/pictures along with written instruction that I am able to view at home has helped tremendously when I am doing the exercises on my own. I have less pain in my day to day life. I would recommend seeing Dr. Houlihan regardless of what age you are.

I highly recommend Scottsdale Scoliosis & Spine Therapy. Dr. Houlihan has been thorough, as has Ashley Sapien, in giving me exercises to correct my spinal issues. They have given me in person and video instruction that is very clear. They make sure that the explanations of what the exercises are designed to do are understood. They don’t mind repeating instructions or explanations if necessary. In a very short time I have improved. My pain is less, I am standing and walking more easily and have better balance. I recently returned from a conference at which, before treatment, I would have never been able to navigate the walking, standing and sitting required to attend sessions and the extra-curricular activities. This progress in such a short time encourages me to be rigorous in doing the exercises and mindful thinking this therapy requires.
