Scheuermann's Kyphosis is a deformity of the spine where the vertebrae develop a wedge shape which causes more of a forward curve of the back. It can cause pain because the muscles are overloaded in the forward posture.
Heather is a great example of living life even with back pain and spinal deformity. She has seen great results with the Schroth Method for posture correction as well as manual therapy. She mentions being treated with Dry Needling, which has been very helpful in controlling and reducing her pain.
This episode would be great for anyone with Scheuermann's Kyphosis, or even with any back pain or problem. Heather is a great example of not letting pain control your life.
