Hello and thank you for joining us on this week’s podcast episode!

This week we’re discussing what can be done to stay active and exercise if you suffer from scoliosis. Scoliosis is very common in many people and if not addressed correctly it can be a de-motivator of staying active.

However with a little knowledge in our back pockets and a safe approach, we can still live an active lifestyle  in a safe manner with scoliosis.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Some of Meredith’s experiences in working with clients that have scoliosis and learning about the challenges they face when trying to stay active.

2). How scoliosis is much more prevalent than we think and also how more people may have it and don’t realize it which can cause issues later in life.

3). Why doctors most often don’t give the best advice or advice at all about how to stay active if you do have scoliosis and some options on what you can do about it.

4). Some of our best tips on doing cardio and resistance exercises with scoliosis to get your heart rate up in a safe manner and keep your body healthy.

5). Meredith’s best suggestions on core exercises which is so important when living with scoliosis because having a strong core help keeps you safe, sturdy and balanced.
