  Donne was recommended to me about 6 months ago by Pilates instructor after discussing my physical limitations due to sciatica, scoliosis.  She specializes in the Schroth method for scoliosis. I have done physical therapy over the years off and on but seem to be in general and really didn’t help. Also had seen a chiropractor, massage therapy which was good but didn’t address my pain and hip unevenness
I signed up for her free evaluation and it was the best thing that I have done. She did a great assessment and any x-rays or MRI that you can take also very helpful. I had been wearing a lift to make my hips more even and she told me to stop doing that,  wasn’t helping probably making it worse. Immediately after that I was able to sleep better with no pain turning over In bed.
It was amazing to me how little my orthopedic doctor and general physical therapy had been regarding treatment for me. It was a godsend that I discovered Donne
I did my research on the Schroth method and found out that it was very innovative way to treat scoliosis. Donne is very personable customizing exercises to bring my spine more into alignment and techniques to relieve numbness and pain in my legs. It will take time but I can see a difference already.  She also takes pictures of you doing these with notes so you can do at home!!
This is a little long but I can’t really say enough about Donne.  I am just so fortunate that I have found her to work with me! You won’t be sorry!

  Donne Ordile is just amazing. I can’t fully articulate how much she has helped my condition and my quality of life. I have moderate 4-curve scoliosis that was diagnosed as a teen and never properly treated until working with Donne. As I entered my 40s, my pain level was unacceptable and my mobility started to become limited. I was worried that decline would be inevitable because nothing I tried really helped. In my 20s and 30s, I worked with several chiropractors and massage therapists; while they gave me temporary relief, none could improve my condition in a meaningful way. I also practiced yoga and Pilates, but only some movements are helpful, while some are problematic. I would frequently injure myself with small muscle pulls or perform movements that would trigger deep painful spasms. Eventually, my only safe exercises were walking or water aerobics. I felt like a little old lady way before my time.
I found Donne by luck with an internet search and was immediately hopeful. I engaged her for 10 sessions and did my best to commit to the work at home. I immediately had faith in the method and the movements. The pain relief was immediate in some areas and more stubborn parts also released with some effort. I’m straighter and a bit taller after two months, my pain is greatly improved, as is my outlook in general. I’m looking forward to continuing treatment with her. If you or your child suffer from scoliosis, I beg you to see Donne at ScoliosisPTJax!

  Our teenaged daughter was recently diagnosed with scoliosis. We started this journey with absolutely no idea of where to turn and what to do... Donne is an incredible wealth of knowledge: from the different brace options available (Nemours only offers one style of brace- there are many!), to the physical and holistic therapies available that can also help, to connecting us with other teens going thru the same issue for moral support- her help and guidance has been invaluable.
We are seeing really good results in my daughters spinal curve in only 2 months- the brace, Schroth Therapy from Donne and pilates have made a big improvement and we wouldn't be where we are today without Donne and Scoliosis PT Jax.
5 stars isn't enough to describe this business!

  Donne is amazing. I found ScoliosisPTJax after searching out Schroth exercises for my son when he was diagnosed with scoliosis. After talking with several places, I knew Donne was the right person to see. Even after our initial phone call I could tell she was kind, patient and does this work as a real service to her clients. Donne puts a lot of individual time and effort into her patients. She carefully crafts exercises for her students, often tweaking them as you work so she can see the exact muscle move as it should. You can really see how much she knows about scoliosis and the correct movements you need to correct imbalances in musculature. And unlike other pt offices I personally have been to, she watches your movements and corrects you as you go, really making sure you know what to do at home. After 6 months, my family and I couldn’t believe the difference in my son’s back. The exercises, while seemingly simple, are made to work exact areas to strengthen and shift your body. You can visible see the difference in my son. Try ScoliosisPTJax and do the exercises she gives you- you won’t regret it!

  We have learned so very much! We are so pleased with our son’s progress. Donne has gone above and beyond for us. She is knowledgeable and really individualized the treatment to the person. She is professional and most of all kind- we adore her. All who have the privilege of working with her walk away each session for the better.

  I have suffered from chronic back pain due to a spinal issue for my entire adult life.  While the underlying issue can never be "cured", my only option is to try and stay as pain free as possible.  I have tried chiropractic, massage, injections, medications, etc. with no beneficial result.  However, Donne's approach to scoliosis has helped tremendously with both my pain level and mobility.  Most of the work is up to you as you have to be consistent with what she teaches, but if you do your part, her methods work.
