The Shared Lived Experience
The Shared Lived Experience
Sometimes it just helps to have a coach that's been through the same struggles you're currently facing & and share the breakthroughs:
I get the pain you feel. Sometimes just existing - lying down, sitting, moving - just hurts. And you're not sure what to do and feel helpless
People telling you, "oh, it's just a sore back, ok... do some stretching & yoga"
The frustration when your trainer/ physio tells you to "just" strengthen your weak side, and stretch your tight areas
Clothing doesn't sit right, and you're conscious about wearing things that would highlight your scoliosis

A Network for Scoliosis Care
I work closely with the Osteopathic Centre Hong Kong for a holistic care model for overall treatment of scoliosis. Every scoliosis is unique, both in its shape and in the way it affects your function and quality of life. The osteopaths at OCHK evaluate every aspect of your scoliosis, including its impact on your wider health, and help where exercise-only components have it's limitations.
My Scoliosis Story
My Scoliosis Story
As someone who has experienced the challenges of scoliosis for much of my adult life, I have often felt dismissed by the medical industry, which failed to address my condition meaningfully. I was diagnosed at 13 and referred to a specialist clinic for children, where the approach was simply to "monitor progress" and engage in "gentle" exercises like yoga and swimming.
For years, scoliosis was an afterthought until my 20s, when I began a sedentary corporate job. By 2017, chronic pain was affecting my mood and physical well-being daily, worsened by the necessity of sitting for eight hours a day. I found temporary relief through foam rolling, massage, and occasional yoga and swimming, but these methods yielded inconsistent results.
Desperate for help, I sought relief from chiropractors, physiotherapists, massage therapists, and Chinese bone setters, only to experience varying degrees of temporary relief. Caught in a vicious cycle of reliance on these treatments, I realized I was spending my entire income and savings on this unending cycle of passive care.
Determined to find a better approach, I sought out proactive solutions. I recognized the need to break free from the passivity of medical practitioners who offered no clear plan for improvement. For a time, I accepted the belief that I would have to live the rest of my life—over 60 years—with chronic pain, and that it would likely worsen.
However, everything changed when I found the right coaches to help me train and grow stronger, despite doctors advising against lifting heavy objects. Now, I am much happier and able to live without constantly worrying about my pain.
Miraculously, through a combination of manual therapy with a scoliosis specialist and appropriate training, my curvature has lessened, and I can support my posture more effectively.
I know that my early feelings of hopelessness and negative experiences are shared by many others. I want you to know that there is hope out there; it’s just a matter of finding the right help. Please reach out to see how I can help you on your journey! 💖
