Between years of training, professional expertise, and consistent movement practices, they discuss how pain can still show up—and how to respond to it with awareness, adaptability, and compassion rather than fear.

Dr. Laura and Dr. Beth share key takeaways from the Columbia University Pediatric Scoliosis Symposium, one of the leading interdisciplinary scoliosis conferences in the country.

They break down the most impactful sessions, emerging research, and evolving approaches to scoliosis care—spanning pediatrics, adults, surgery, bracing, physical therapy, mental health, and community support. This episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at where scoliosis care is headed and what clinicians and patients alike can learn from it.

For many people, access to a scoliosis-informed physical therapist is limited—this conversation breaks down how virtual care can bridge that gap. We discuss how scoliosis-specific assessments, movement analysis, and education can be done effectively online, and why virtual care often empowers clients to become more independent and confident in their movement routines.

Dr. Laura & Dr. Beth sit down with colleague Dr. Jenn Warren, a fellow scoliosis-specialized physical therapist & endurance athlete to dismantle fear of movement with scoliosis. Dr. Jenn shares why this approach is outdated, unsupported by research, and often harmful.

In this special episode of ScoliPod, Dr. Beth and Dr. Laura check in from Dubrovnik, Croatia after spending four days immersed in the latest scoliosis research and clinical insights at the 2025 SOSORT Conference.

They break down their biggest takeaways from each day, covering everything from new approaches to adult scoliosis to the evolving understanding of exercise, bracing, and screening.
