At one point in my fitness journey, I remember breaking down over my scoliosis. ⬇️ I felt defeated… like no matter how hard I trained, I would always just look uneven. To make matters worst, it seemed like everyone was making gains BUT me. I had to remind myself that having scoliosis is not an easy foundation to build muscle upon… so I changed my approach when it came to training. I prioritized postural correction exercises (such as schroth) and I eliminated exercises that were hurting my scoliosis/back (i.e. deadlifts) I began training with INTENTION and TARGETED my muscle imbalances to “balance” out the weakened muscles. And the most important, I stopped feeling ashamed of my scoliosis 🩻 and you shouldn’t either. P.S my gym PHIT is @AYBL ‘NATPHIT’ #scoliosis #gymgirl #posture #backproblems #scoliosisawareness
