June is Scoliosis Awareness Month 💚
Many people are surprised to learn that I have scoliosis.
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that affects millions of people worldwide. For some, it's barely noticeable. For others, it can affect comfort, movement, confidence, and daily life.
As a Pilates teacher, I've learned that movement isn't about creating a "perfect" body or posture, it's about understanding and working with the body you have.
Living with scoliosis has taught me a few things along the way...
Every body is unique.
Symmetry isn't the same as health.
Strength and stability can look different from person to person.
Movement can be a powerful tool for awareness and confidence.
Patience. Good things come in time!
Pilates hasn't "fixed" my scoliosis, but it has helped me better understand my body, build strength, and move with more confidence.
Let's normalise and celebrate bodies that don't fit the textbook image of "perfect" posture and continue raising awareness about spinal health.
If you live with scoliosis, I'd love to hear your experience.
