Gardening with scoliosis

Gardening can be quite a physically demanding activity, and over the years, we at Scoliosis SOS have treated a number of keen gardeners who were having difficulties due to their scoliosis. Back pain and reduced flexibility are no help whatsoever when you’re digging, planting, pruning and weeding!

Here are just some of the gardening enthusiasts our ScolioGold treatment programme has helped (click the links to view news articles in full):

• Jean jumps for joy after years of pain “My experiences of the clinic and the exercises I have taken away with me have given me a new lease of life at 68.”
• Hornchurch gardening enthusiast raises awareness after avoiding back surgery “I cannot explain how glad I am to have found the clinic. They have given me a second chance at life.”
• Maisie’s relief at avoiding back surgery “It’s great to be back in control and to know the clinic is always there to provide support.”
• Geraldine can walk tall again after she beats spinal torment “After having the treatment and learning the exercises, I feel like I have my life back. To me this is nothing short of a miracle.”
• Happy end to spinal misery “I cannot wait to get back in the garden this summer. I love spending time outside, but I have missed out on a lot of the nice weather over the past few years due to the pain I was in.”
• Keen gardener Helen is really digging new therapy “I feel like I am back in control and I am getting used to being able to attend to my flowers without pain.”
• Twisted spine mum walking tall again “I feel so much better about my body and I have gained so much confidence.”
• Gardener’s praise after back pain treatment “I cannot put into words how happy I am now that I am straighter, and I cannot wait for the warmer weather so that I can get back into the garden and start the long process of rescuing my flower borders.”
