From Ghana To London: Ian's Scoliosis Story

Ian Before and After Scoliosis Treatment

Earlier this year, the Scoliosis SOS Clinic helped 16-year-old Ian from Ghana to overcome his 50-degree scoliosis. Ian’s spine began to develop a curve when he was 12 years old. As he grew, the curvature got bigger and bigger; when Ian’s mother noticed the condition of his spine, she became worried and sent Ian for some X-rays, which led to a scoliosis diagnosis. This came as a shock to Ian, who hadn’t even heard of scoliosis before, but he did some research and began to learn more about his condition and the treatments available. Unfortunately for Ian, the treatment options in Ghana were limited, but a friend of his mother recommended the Scoliosis SOS Clinic in London. Soon after, Ian left Ghana for the first time and came to the UK for a 4-week treatment course to help correct the curve in his spine. Ian faced some difficulties at the start of his treatment programme due to him being shy and sensitive about his condition. As time went by, however, Ian became much more comfortable, and by the end of the course he felt a lot more confident when showing his back and spine. Ian found our corrective exercises quite challenging at first, but as time passed, he became used to the exercises and was soon able to perform them without any problems. Throughout this whole process, Ian became more confident not just in the way he felt about his body, but also in a social sense, making lots of new friends from different parts of the world. Ian described the Scoliosis SOS therapists as “really encouraging” throughout his treatment course, helping him to get to know his body better and gain a greater understanding of his condition. To anybody else suffering from scoliosis, Ian recommends visiting the Scoliosis SOS Clinic to receive the same guidance and treatment that he had. Watch the video below for a full account of Ian’s story and to see how Scoliosis SOS were able to help him.
