In this episode, I talk to Eva Butterly from Dublin. When I first started this podcast, I noticed there weren't many other scoliosis podcasts, but one kept popping up when I would search. Eva started The Scoliosis Warrior Podcast to share what she has learned from her experience with scoliosis.
Eva was diagnosed with a fast progressing scoliosis curve as a young teenager. After 6 months of mismanagement, she had progressed to the point of needling surgery with a curve OVER 90 DEGREES!
She underwent surgery to stop the progression of the curve, and then 6 months later needed to have the rods removed because of an infection. She then spent quite a bit of time in a hard cast to make sure her spine was stable.
Despite these trials, Eva is a great example of working hard to achieve your goals. She is a weight lifter, fitness instructor, and recently has taken up ultra marathon running.
She talks about her experience with scoliosis specific exercise, staying healthy and strong, and IT band and back pain.
One of the main takeaways from this episode is to "Move Your Body!". She is a great advocate of movement and being active. Whether you have scoliosis or not, that is great advice. If you have scoliosis, it is even more important.
