ABOUT

About the Rigo Concept Course Level 1 and 2 by BSPTS

Dear Physiotherapist, Dear Orthotist,

I am Warren, the owner of NorAlign here in Dubai.

I first met Garikoitz (your course instructor) back in December 2023. We talked about the Rigo Concept and how it improves the confidence and skills of physiotherapists like you in handling patients’ scoliosis conditions.

Based on what course participants told me, I knew: This concept is a must for every physiotherapist and orthotist who really wants to help his or her patients.

We decided to start a collaboration to make Rigo also available for physiotherapists in Dubai.

The first course was launched in 2023 for 6 physiotherapists – it was fully booked within two weeks. The second course was held in May 2024 and was also fully booked.  

The feedback was amazing but we had to dismiss many physiotherapists due to a participant limitation. That’s why we decided to host Level 1 and Level 2 again in early 2025.

If you as a physiotherapist or orthotist, want to deepen your knowledge and skills of treating scoliosis and if you want to make your patients’ lives more joyful, secure your sport right now.

It is my pleasure to host you and to share our respective journey in scoliosis. 

I am very much looking forward to this.

Best,

Warren Vincent
Owner NorAlign (course location)

Rigo Concept Course Instructor

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The Rigo Concept BSPTS (by Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School) Course is a specialized training program for physiotherapists focused on the Rigo Concept, which is a method of managing and treating scoliosis.
BSPTS has evolved paying attention to three spheres of knowledge:

1. Specific knowledge on Scoliosis and other spinal disorders

2. The BSPTS-Concept by Rigo. Based on four general principles: Three-dimensional stable postural correction; Expansion Technique; Muscle activation and Integration.

3. The BSPTS-Technique. Based on different touching formats (feeling format, passive-active format, inducing format, dissociating format, activation format, integration format)

BSPTS’s proposal is about helping the physiotherapist to find a balance between these three spheres of knowledge.

The main difference between Level 1 and Level 2 of the Rigo Concept BSPTS course lies in the complexity and supervision of the training:

Level 1 focuses on the foundational principles, correction strategies, and basic starting positions, with 70% practical work. This level emphasizes understanding and applying basic treatment for scoliosis.

Level 2 builds on Level 1 with advanced exercises and includes supervised patient treatment, increasing practical work to 80%. This level deepens the understanding of complex cases and provides hands-on experience under supervision and is intended for physiotherapists and orthotists who have completed Level 1 and seek to deepen their expertise through advanced exercises.

The course is instructed by Garikoitz Aristegui from Spain. He holds a Doctor in Epidemiology and Public Health, is a licensed Kinesiologist and Physiotherapist, with advanced training in orthotics, scoliosis-specific exercise therapy, and a variety of specialized physiotherapy disciplines.

“With the Rigo Concept you will gain a comprehensive grasp of scoliosis that moves beyond mere methodology.

Transform your approach with a holistic perspective. The Rigo Approach isn’t just about treating a condition; it’s about empowering individuals. You will equip yourself with tools to support patients and their families.
