I'm not sure about the scoliosis journey that others have travelled, but in my experience, I have always felt a little misunderstood. My family wasn't quite sure how to manage this condition, which was not common amongst the people that they know. Well-intentioned advice from relatives about the need to watch my posture seemed to suggest to a young me then, that it was me not standing or sitting properly that caused my condition.
I'm glad that things have advanced medically since then, and more people know about scoliosis now. But do they know how to show support and appreciation for those who are on this journey? So, if you do know someone, tell them it's ok to be curvy!
Doing my bit for scoliosis awareness month :)
