Rewriting the Rules of Scoliosis Care

Welcome to ScoliPod, the show that’s rewriting the rules about living with a curved spine! Hosted by Dr. Laura Glazebrook and Beth Terranova—two physical therapists, scoliosis superheroes, and movement enthusiasts—this podcast brings you research-backed solutions, expert insights, and real-life stories that prove one thing: you are more than your scoliosis diagnosis.

In our very first episode, we’re sharing our personal journeys with scoliosis—from early diagnoses to spinal fusion, Olympic weightlifting, and becoming physical therapists specializing in scoliosis care. You’ll hear:

✨ Beth’s Story – From an active teen athlete with scoliosis, to discovering the power of strength training and the Schroth Method, to founding Strength & Spine and helping people with scoliosis thrive through movement.

✨ Laura’s Story – From spinal fusion surgery at age 11, to a career in pelvic health and later scoliosis-specific therapy, and how discovering the right exercises transformed her own strength and wellness journey.

✨ Why We Started This Podcast – We’ve made it our mission to bust myths (like “never lift weights with scoliosis”), share the latest research, advocate for bracing and exercise when evidence supports it, and create a supportive community for people with scoliosis, spinal fusion, and their families - as well as the movement and fitness professionals who work with them.

✨ Behind the Name “ScoliPod” – How a Pokémon called Scolipede inspired the name of our podcast. (Yes, really!)

Whether you’re living with scoliosis, supporting someone who is, or just passionate about smart, evidence-based movement, you’ll find hope, knowledge, and community here!
