The SEAS Accreditation Programme is a path that takes the participants step by step to deeper and certified knowledge of the SEAS approach, ensuring refreshing training over time.
SEAS Accreditation (SA): recognised for people who attended the first-level course and passed the final exam.
The course lasts for three days.
The accreditation expires after 5 years.
It can be renewed by attending the SAA level course.
Topics of the SA
The course includes the basic teaching of the SEAS approach:
- SEAS approach
- SEAS clinical assessment
- Active self-correction in coronal, horizontal and sagittal planes
- SEAS exercises
- Scoliosis Manager
- Clinical cases
- SEAS Advanced Accreditation (SAA): following SA, recognised for people who attended the advanced level course and passed the final exam.
Topics of the SAA
SEAS Advanced Accreditation (SAA): following SA, recognised for people who attended the advanced level course and passed the final exam. The course lasts 3 days.
It can be completed between 1 and 5 years after obtaining the SA.
The advanced accreditation expires after 5 years.
The course includes the advanced stage of treatment for scoliosis:
- SEAS self-correction combined movements
- Evolution of the complexity of the exercises and the complexity of self-correction
- Simplified self-correction for application in daily life
- The spinopelvic sagittal alignment
- SEAS treatment of sagittal alignment pathologies: hyperkyphosis dorsal, dorso-lumbar kyphosis.
- SEAS treatment of adult deformities
- Screening for scoliosis
- Clinical cases
SOSORT GUIDELINES
ISICO, in its approach to the conservative treatment of scoliosis, is totally consistent with the SOSORT guidelines of Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation treatment of idiopathic scoliosis during growth in all passages, starting from the clinical assessment to physiotherapy treatment with the SEAS exercises, up to treatment with a brace.
Hence, the SEAS principles can be applied appropriately according to the objectives and purposes for which they were defined and developed, only in a context consistent with these guidelines.
At the end of the SEAS courses, the participants are asked to sign a statement that only those who are consistent and in line with these SOSORT guidelines in their daily clinical practice can publicly declare (eg on brochures, website etc.) that they apply the SEAS approach to their patients, furthermore being conscious that the SEAS accreditations are valid and can be obtained with a final examination only for those who have declared that their approach to scoliosis is in association with these guidelines.
