The 2019 Wimbledon Championships are in full swing right now, and even if you’re not usually interested in tennis, it’s hard not to get swept up in all the excitement and prestige. This year’s tournament has already made headlines – the first round saw 15-year-old Grand Slam newcomer Cori Gauff defeat five-time champ Venus Williams – and there are no doubt plenty of thrills still to come.
Here at the Scoliosis SOS Clinic, we’ve treated a number of avid tennis players whose curved spines were threatening to force them off the court for good. Here are some of their stories:
Abigail Bendall
“Scoliosis completely rocked my world…I really felt like my world had fallen apart, and I didn’t know how to cope with all the emotions that were going around in my head. I cannot wait to get back to the specialists at the hospital and show them what I have achieved.”

Louise Alexander
“I was amazed by what I had achieved in a relatively short time. To see the improvements that I had made from before and after the course was unbelievable. I am no longer dreading the possibility of surgery and I can concentrate on my tennis again.”

James Taylor
“When my parents told me about the treatment, I was ecstatic. I love sports, so doing exercises to keep my back in good condition and to avoid surgery was not a problem. I’m looking forward to the summer as I missed out on so many tennis games last year.”

“When I was told that I had scoliosis, I didn’t really understand to start with. No one ever sat me down and explained what was going on until I got to the Scoliosis SOS Clinic.”
