Episode 176 – My Scoliosis Story & How I Manage It

If you or someone you know has scoliosis and feels scared, overwhelmed, or unsure about how to move or train safely — this episode is for you. In this personal and practical conversation, I’m sharing how I manage my own scoliosis: from the mindset shifts that helped me stop feeling fragile, to the movement and strength practices that keep my body feeling strong, capable, and supported.

You’ll hear:

  • How my diagnosis impacted me early on
  • What I’ve learned (and unlearned) as a PT and coach
  • The way I train with scoliosis now — without fear or restriction
  • How I manage flare-ups, and setbacks
  • What I wish more people with scoliosis (and the people who train them) knew

Hi, I'm Dr. Jen Hosler.

I’m a bookworm, science nerd, and coach of all things movement (physical therapist and strength & mobility coach). You can catch me sleeping in & having a slow morning, doing CARs & lifting heavy things, or sipping a glass of wine on my time off.

Through a blend of strength & mobility training, I’ll help you master your movement & build a more resilient body that won’t hold you back from all the activities you love doing.

1:1 Mobility Coaching

Have a nagging ache, pain, or injury that just hasn’t gone away? Maybe you’ve tried bouts of physical therapy or chiropractic care without much success. Or maybe you’ve done your own research and rehab with the help of social media, but you still aren’t feeling 100%. That’s where I come in – with my personalized asssessment and 1-on-1 programming, I will tailor a plan specific to your individual needs so you can feel better and tackle your goals.
