The trauma of her rabbi father's arrest led her to question her beliefs, to shed old layers, and ultimately to rediscover herself through the body.Living with scoliosis and spinal injuries herself, Rachel developed a powerful, integrative approach that blends HAKOMI, a somatic psychotherapy, physical therapy, and yoga, supporting hundreds of people around the world in reconnecting with their bodies and rewriting their stories.She is also the author of several books, including Scoliosis, Yoga Therapy and the Art of Letting Go, and in her latest memoir, As Is, she shares her personal path of healing the past through yoga.New Book: As Is: A Memoir on Healing the Past Through Yoga. CONNECT WITH RACHEL:WEBSITE: happybackyoga.com.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelkrentzman/Download my FREE eBook: A Weekend of Feeling WellSchedule a FREE Discovery call with AnnaSign up for my free weekly newsletter: HEREBuy my book Living Your Best Life in CollegeTake the 2-minute Wellness QuizIf you enjoyed this episode, please FOLLOW, RATE, REVIEW & SHARE!! Rates and reviews help the message get to more people!

Have scoliosis or know someone who does? In this episode, Dr. Mark Morningstar discusses scoliosis as a complex whole-body condition influenced by genetics, neurobiology, bone health, and lifestyle. He explains why active stability, movement, nutrition, and nervous system regulation are crucial, shares practical prevention tips, and highlights modern, multimodal approaches to help children and adults manage and reduce progression.   Timestamps: (0:04) Welcome to Mind Movement Health Podcast (2:16) Scoliosis Insights with Dr. Mark Morningstar (2:42) Daily Health Changes (2:52) Understanding Scoliosis and Chiropractic Care (8:01) The Role of Nutrition in Scoliosis (13:50) Managing Scoliosis in Different Life Stages (20:45) The Genetic Factors of Scoliosis (27:26) Promoting Movement for Spinal Health (33:10) Misconceptions About Back Pain (36:55) The Brain's Role in Spinal Curvature (47:29) Future Directions in Scoliosis Treatment (49:53) Taking Action for Scoliosis Care (52:21) Connecting with Dr. Morningstar   More about Dr. Mark Morningstar: Dr. Mark Morningstar is a world-renowned chiropractic physician, clinical researcher, and the founder of Back Genius. With over 20 years of experience and more than 60 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Morningstar has dedicated his career to proving that scoliosis is far more than just a "curve in the spine"—it is a complex, whole-body condition rooted in genetics, neurobiology, and metabolic health. His groundbreaking research was the first to link scoliosis progression to neurotransmitter imbalances, leading to innovative nutritional protocols that help "re-train" the brain to hold the spine in a straighter position. Dr. Morningstar holds diplomate status in Spine Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and Clinical Nutrition. He is the developer of the Scoliosis Activity Suit, a core training suit specifically engineered to create dynamic corrective forces during daily movement to improve scoliosis curvatures. Finally, he is the host of the Scoliosis World podcast, where he breaks down the latest research on spinal flexibility, patient management, predictive scoliosis modeling, and functional medicine strategies specific to scoliosis patients.    Connect with Dr. Mark Morningstar: Website: https://www.backgenius.com/, https://scoliosispractice.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ScoliosisWorld Podcast: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/hx3dd-1bb9e8/Scoliosis-World-w-Dr-Morningstar-Podcast   Want to try Breathwork?

Learn about scoliosis rehab with Lauren Ferrante, PT, DPT, OCS. Explore home exercises, manual therapies, and AT tools for scoliosis. Q: What are the most important home exercises for scoliosis? A: Key home exercises focus on spinal mobility, especially for those who sit frequently. Cat-cows and thoracic rotation are crucial. Depending on comfort level, core activation exercises like supine marches or dead-bug isometrics are beneficial. When supine, tactile cues help maintain spinal symmetry. Bridges or modified side planks are good starting points, with progression as needed. Q: Which scoliosis treatment method is best for high school age, considering the Schroth Method helps the 10-15 age group? A: The Schroth Method can be used for older populations, but it is generally less effective for high school age individuals compared to younger ones. For this age group, focusing on functional core strengthening can also be beneficial. Q: Are Pilates or yoga safe and recommended for young athletes with scoliosis? A: Yes, Pilates and yoga are highly recommended for individuals with scoliosis, including young athletes. These activities promote continued mobility and strength, which are vital for managing scoliosis. The most important aspect is to find an activity they enjoy and consistently engage in it. Q: What manual therapies are effective for scoliosis, and is dry needling helpful? A: Effective manual therapies include thoracic gapping and rib mobilizations, particularly in a side-lying position to encourage rib expansion. The specific therapy depends on the patient’s individual needs and curve patterns. Dry needling is not frequently utilized for scoliosis treatment according to the provided information. Q: How often are lordotic curves seen in individuals with thoracic scoliosis? A: Lordotic curves are quite common in individuals with thoracic scoliosis. If a person has a mid-thoracic curve, their body often adjusts by developing a compensatory lordotic curve. Therefore, this presentation is observed frequently. Q: How do current trends, such as phone and gaming use, contribute to setbacks or overcorrection in scoliosis? A: The impact of phone and gaming trends on scoliosis setbacks depends on individual patient motivation and activity levels. For athletes, it’s often less of an issue, as it’s unrealistic to maintain one position for extended periods. For minimally active individuals, parental encouragement to move around every hour, regardless of the activity, is important. Q: How often are active populations braced for scoliosis? A: Braces for scoliosis are typically prescribed by pediatric orthopedic specialists. For junior high and high school-aged children, as they mature, the need for braces often decreases, and they may not be in them very much. Q: What are the three most important practical tools for Athletic Trainers (ATs) regarding scoliosis? A: The three most important practical tools for Athletic Trainers when addressing scoliosis are observation for signs of scoliosis, implementing exercises on a mat or table, and utilizing a wall for exercises with minimal equipment.

In this Curve Convo episode of Ahead of the Curve, I'm joined by Kerry Green to talk about something that doesn't get discussed enough in scoliosis care: identity. Specifically, how the beliefs you hold about your curve, your diagnosis, and your ability to heal can shape your experience of pain and progress.We explore how early messages from doctors or authority figures can stick with you for years, why hypervigilance can feel protective but actually slow healing, and how optimism isn't just “positive thinking” but a powerful nervous system shift.We also answer listener questions about pillows for side sleepers, stomach sleeping, and whether cold weather makes scoliosis pain worse.In This Episode You'll Hear:• How identifying strongly with your diagnosis can impact pain and healing• Why hypervigilance may feel safe but can keep your body stuck• Practical ways to begin shifting limiting beliefs about scoliosis• How to approach sleep position and pillow support with scoliosisIf you've ever felt discouraged, defined by your curve, or unsure how to move forward, this episode will help you feel more empowered and capable in your healing journey.Links & Resources For This Episode:Connect with Kerry on InstagramSchedule a Discovery Call w/ MeghanMy Virtual Scoliosis Coaching ServicesMy WebsiteFREE At-Home Exercises For Scoliosis

This week, Thom Francis welcomes Judith Kerman to the mic. She shared her work as the featured reader at the Third Thursday Poetry Night at the Social Justice Center in Albany, NY, on August 21, 2025. +++++ For over 20 years, Dan Wilcox has hosted the Third Thursday Poetry Night, welcoming poets and writers from all over the region and beyond. This open mic with a featured reader series has seen hundreds of poets take the stage and share their work with a vibrant audience of artists, writers, and creators young and old. Whether it's your first time reading poetry in public or you have been around the local literary community for years, the Third Thursday Poetry Night always feels like home. Last August, poet Judith Kerman was the featured reader. As host Dan Wilcox noted on his blog, “She began, & continued, with poems that pretend to be, or are, definitions, from her book Definitions; her first example was “Diaspora" in nine small parts, images, obliquely, historically responding to the dictionary definition.” She continued with the philosophical “Algorhythm” and “Canned Soup,” a prose poem and meditation on soup. She wrapped up her set with “Scoliosis,” “Why I Never Married,” and one final definition poem, “Israel,” in 10 tiny parts. Judith Kerman is a poet, performer, and artist who has published ten books or chapbooks of poetry. Her most recent work, Definitions, was published by Fomite Press in 2021. She has published two translations from Spanish: A Woman in Her Garden: Selected Poems of Dulce María Loynaz (White Pine Press, 2002) and Praises and Offenses: Three Women Poets from the Dominican Republic (BOA Editions, 2009). Kerman was a Fulbright Scholar to the Dominican Republic, where she translated poetry and fiction by Dominican women. She was also awarded the Abbie M. Kopps Poetry Prize and an Honorable Mention from the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award.

 I cured by myself successful my broken disk, L4-L5, herniated disk,... strong Scoliosis and twisted spine mainly through exercises, Qigong and Accupuncture. Now my spine is better than ever before.My Diagnosis:    Herniated Disc (L4-L5)Sequestered Disc Fragment (broken off)    Severe Scoliosis    A Twisted SpineNerve CompressionMy Recovery Tools:    Qigong (for energy flow and alignment)    Targeted Exercises (for strength and stability)    Acupuncture (for pain relief and neural balance)My Result:Today, my spine is stronger, more aligned, and more functional than ever before.What I Learned:    The body wants to heal. It needs the right signals, patience, and consistency.    Energy matters. Qigong wasn't just movement—it was rewiring my nervous system and restoring bioenergetic flow.    Structure follows function. By moving correctly and consistently, my spine gradually reorganized itself.    Pain is a message, not a life sentence. I listened, responded, and persisted.My Message to You:If you've been told your condition is “permanent,” please know:    You are not broken beyond repair.    You have more power than you've been led to believe.    Your journey may require courage and patience, but healing is possible.Would you like help turning this into:   I was told by multiple orthopedic doctors that my condition was permanent. That my herniated disc, severe scoliosis, and twisted spine were a life sentence. They offered me pain management, not solutions. They saw scans, not potential.I refused to believe them.I decided to listen to my body instead of my medical files. I turned to Qigong, acupuncture, and targeted exercises—not as alternatives, but as primary tools for transformation.And today?My spine is straighter, stronger, and more functional than ever.The Truth No One Told Me:    Doctors are experts in disease, not always in healing.    Scans show where you've been, not where you can go.    The body's ability to regenerate is vastly underestimated.If you've been told you “have no chance,” remember:You are the only one who gets to decide your limits.Would You Like to Share Your Full Story?STAND NEVER AGAIN WITH STRAIGHT KNEES! The knee joint should be always loose because you block the energy, and you put your back muscles under unnecessary tensions. Stand so, that your knee joints are above your feet.My Holistic Protocol: 7 Steps That Rebuilt My Spine1. Daily Dedicated Exercise (2 Hours/Day) – Qigong & YogaPrinciple: A strong muscular “corset” is essential for spinal stability and alignment.2. Intensive AcupunctureProtocol: Daily sessions for at least 14 days.Insight: Weekly sessions are far too weak for severe trauma. Intensity and consistency break pain cycles and stimulate healing.3. Osteopathic CareFocus: Treating the body as one interconnected system—releasing hidden tensions and restoring balance.4. Structural Alignment TherapiesTried: Chiropractic, Dorn Method, osteopathic manipulation.Goal: Physically realign the vertebrae and pelvis to create the foundation for long-term healing.5. Spiritual Spine HealingIn Europe, I discovered healers trained in energetic scoliosis correction. Through non-physical methods, they worked on my spine's alignment.💡 Note: This therapy was so effective that it's even covered by some German health insurance plans. At only €40 per session, it became a crucial step in finally straightening my spine.6. Radical Rehabilitation Exercises and taking collagen (Hydrolysate) as supplementDr. John Bergmann's Twists: 100 fast, vertical twists per side to stimulate cartilage growth and mobility.The “Woodcutter” (My Method):Stand with legs shoulder-width apart.Bend backwards with arms raised.Swing forward forcefully, arms sweeping between the legs.Start with 5 reps, build to 100 over six months.This builds tremendous core strength and spinal resilience.7. Anti-Inflammatory, Plant-Based DietEliminated: Meat, processed, and acid-forming foods.Embraced: Whole-food, plant-based eating for reduced inflammation and steady healing energy.The ResultToday, my spine is not only pain-free—it's stronger and more flexible than ever. I move with freedom I never thought possible.My Message to YouHealing is not passive. It demands an open mind, relentless effort, and the courage to go beyond conventional limits.Your body has an astonishing ability to regenerate—if you give it the right tools, consistency, and belief.My Video:  How I cured successful my broken disk from my spine? https://youtu.be/YUEg7zuDJyAMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-I-cured-successful-my-broken-disk-from-my-spine.mp3

Scoliosis affects approximately 2-3 percent of thepopulation, representing an estimated six to nine million individuals in theUnited States. While scoliosis can develop during infancy or early childhood,the primary age of onset is between 10 and 15 years, affecting both gendersequally. However, females are eight times more likely than males to progress toa curve magnitude requiring treatment. Each year, scoliosis patients accountfor over 600,000 visits to private physician offices, with an estimated 30,000children requiring bracing and 38,000 undergoing spinal fusion surgery,according to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.Dr. Mark Morningstar has dedicated his career toadvancing care for children with scoliosis and their families. He holds aDoctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic and a PhD inHealth Services Management from Concordia University. Dr. Morningstar possessesthree board certifications: the American Clinical Board of Nutrition, theAmerican College of Spine Physicians, and the American Association ofIntegrative Medicine.With his extensive qualifications, Dr. Morningstar developedan integrated scoliosis management program recognized internationally. He hasauthored over 60 peer-reviewed publications and contributed innovativeexercises and equipment for scoliosis management. His work has receivednational recognition, including features on The Sister Wives.Over the past two decades, Dr. Morningstar has sought torefine scoliosis care by emphasizing the underlying condition rather thanfocusing solely on spinal curvature, minimizing discomfort and side effects,and ensuring pediatric patients maintain a high quality of life. As a foundingmember of the Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment(SOSORT)—established in 2005 in Milan, Italy—he collaborates with leadingprofessionals worldwide to advance non-surgical, exercise-based treatments suchas the ScoliSMART BootCamp.One of few chiropractic physicians triple board certified inchiropractic medicine, integrative medicine, and naturopathic medicine, Dr.Morningstar provides comprehensive strategies for managing complex spine andneurological disorders, including Scoliosis, Fibromyalgia/Chronic FatigueSyndrome, and Lyme disease.By integrating chiropractic rehabilitation, chiropracticneurology, functional medicine, kinesiotaping, and spinal orthoses, Dr.Morningstar has achieved notable outcomes in patient recovery and healing. Hehas multiple publications in peer-reviewed biomedical literature and iscurrently authoring books related to scoliosis and healthy living.For more information: https://scoliosispractice.com/Email: mmorningstar@backgenius.comhttps://www.backgenius.com/ 

Spines don't just bend — they reveal who we are, how we adapt, and where modern medicine is still failing. Today on Crackin' Backs, we sit down with a man who's been inside those hidden curves, seen what the X-rays don't show, and is rewriting the entire narrative around scoliosis.Meet Dr. Jeb McAviney: chiropractor, researcher, speaker, and CEO of ScoliCare. With over two decades in non-surgical spinal deformity care, Dr. McAviney holds a Master of Chiropractic and a Master of Pain Medicine—he's also developed breakthrough programs like ScoliBalance® and ScoliBrace® and now sits on the board of the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT).What we'll uncover in this episode:Why scoliosis is not just a teenage issue—and how adult curves are being ignored.The biggest shifts in scoliosis treatment in the last 2–4 years that many clinicians or parents don't know—and why that lag can be dangerous.The emotional and identity weight that sits on someone's spine—what the image can't tell you, but Dr. McAviney sees.The sacred cows of scoliosis care: What practices will we look back on in 10 years and say, “How did we ever think that was acceptable?”The global scoreboard: Which countries are getting scoliosis care right, which ones are shockingly behind, and what explains the difference.If you've ever wondered what your spine really says about you—this is the episode you can't skip. Learn more about Dr. McAviney & join the mission:ScoliCareTune in now—because the curve in your spine might be writing the story you haven't yet heard.We are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health. From our perspective, health is more than just “Crackin Backs” but a deep dive into physical, mental, and nutritional well-being philosophies. Join us as we talk to some of the greatest minds and discover some of the most incredible gems you can use to maintain a higher level of health. Crackin Backs Podcast

Side planks are one of the most confusing exercises for people with scoliosis, and today I'm clearing up the guesswork once and for all.In this episode, I'm walking you through the essentials: how to look at your own curve pattern, what a side plank should be doing for you, and how to keep your spine aligned instead of unintentionally reinforcing your asymmetries. I also walk through the full progression of side plank variations so you can train with clarity instead of forcing yourself into shapes your spine isn't ready for.In This Episode You'll Learn:• How to identify the concave and convex sides of your curve• How single vs multi-curve patterns change your side plank strategy• Why your stronger-feeling side isn't always the side that needs more attention• What overcorrecting looks like and how to avoid itSide planks can be a powerful piece of your scoliosis strength training when you know how to tailor them to your unique spine. If you've ever felt unsure about how to do them safely, this episode will help you move with confidence.Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode:Schedule a Discovery Call w/ MeghanMy Virtual Scoliosis Coaching ServicesMy WebsiteFREE At-Home Exercises For Scoliosis

In this episode of the Beautifully Broken Podcast, I'm joined by Aleena Kanner, a certified athletic trainer, neuromuscular specialist, and breathwork educator, for a deep dive into the biomechanics of healing. Aleena breaks down how subtle shifts in the jaw, teeth, and eyes can create—or resolve—chronic pain patterns. We explore how asymmetries in the body reflect deeper imbalances in the nervous system, and how restoring balance can be the key to sustainable healing.Aleena shares her personal health story—from eczema and autoimmune challenges to Olympic weightlifting and nervous system dysregulation—and how her journey informed the way she works with clients today.

This podcast will discuss Scoliosis. This note was created by Sahaj Puri, a third year medical student at McMaster University. This episode was created in collaboration with Dr. Selvakumar, a general pediatrician at McMaster University. This PedsCases podcast focuses on an overview of approach to scoliosis, including management. There are no conflicts of interest to disclose by the authors.

In this episode of The Coaching Advantage: Real Stories of Strength & Nutrition, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Barbell Logic coach Chrissy and her client Linda to share how consistent coaching transforms life at every age. Linda began lifting in her 70s while navigating scoliosis and later osteoporosis. With the right coaching and smart training modifications, she built confidence, strength, and muscle that carry over into everyday life—from carrying groceries to picking up grandkids. You'll learn how coaching provides accountability and structure, why restraint matters more than chasing soreness, and what it looks like to keep training for health, longevity, and hypertrophy through the decades. This inspiring conversation proves it's never too late to start, adapt, and thrive with strength training.

Why Your Child's 'Growing Pains' Are A Warning Sign for Pelvic Misalignment | The Prime Podcast - Episode 339 Is your child waking up at night complaining of deep, aching leg pain? As a parent, you've likely been told it's just "growing pains"—a normal phase they'll eventually outgrow. But what if that common advice is wrong? In this crucial episode of The Prime Podcast (Episode 339), Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies expose the truth behind this widespread misconception. They reveal why "growing pains" are often a major warning sign of an underlying structural issue: pelvic misalignment. Learn how simple childhood tumbles and falls can create imbalances in the pelvis, leading to nervous system interference and causing the frustrating, recurring leg pain that keeps your child (and you) up at night. Discover the tell-tale signs that the pain isn't from growth, such as when it consistently affects only one leg. The doctors explain how this core issue can be connected to other common childhood conditions like chronic constipation, early motor delays, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and even painful PMS in the teen years. Most importantly, get empowered with simple, at-home checks you can perform to spot these subtle imbalances in your child's posture and muscle development. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie advocate for a proactive, natural approach to health that addresses the root cause of the pain, rather than just masking the symptoms with medication. If you're tired of feeling helpless and are looking for real solutions for your child's discomfort, this episode provides the valuable insights and actionable steps you need to foster a foundation of true health and proper alignment for your family. MEDICAL TERMS EXPLAINED Subluxation: A chiropractic term for a misalignment or altered position of the vertebrae or pelvic bones, which can interfere with the nervous system's ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the body. Pelvic Misalignment: A condition where the pelvis is not level, balanced, or symmetrical. This forces the body to compensate for the imbalance, often leading to uneven weight distribution, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, and pain, particularly in the lower back and legs. Nervous System Interference: When a subluxation or misalignment puts pressure on, irritates, or distorts nerves, it disrupts the flow of vital information between the brain and the body. This interference can negatively impact muscle function, organ health, developmental milestones, and overall well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pain is NOT a normal part of growth; it is a critical signal that indicates an underlying issue. "Growing pains" that consistently occur on one side of the body are a strong indicator of a structural imbalance, not uniform growth. The primary cause of these pains is frequently an unlevel or misaligned pelvis, often resulting from accumulated falls and minor traumas experienced throughout childhood. Parents can learn practical, simple methods to observe and identify signs of postural and muscular imbalances in their children at home. Adopting a proactive approach, particularly through chiropractic care, can effectively identify and correct the underlying structural causes, offering a real and lasting solution beyond temporary symptom management.
