Episode 126: Choosing the Right Myofascial Release Tool for Scoliosis
Not all myofascial release tools are created equal…In this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I’m breaking down the key differences between the balls I recommend for myofascial release, especially if you’re living with scoliosis. You’ll learn why the type of ball you choose matters, how fascia influences pain and movement, and why smaller, more targeted tools often work better than foam rollers.Inside, I’ll walk you through:✅ The difference between superficial vs. deep fascia (and why it matters for pain relief)✅ The essential rules for safe, effective myofascial release✅ The unique benefits of the Coregeous ball, Franklin/Miracle ball, Alpha ball, and Tune Up ball✅ Why starting from the ground up (with your feet and legs) is essential for lasting changeYou’ll also hear how clients are reducing pain, moving more freely, and even returning to activities they thought were out of reach, just from consistently working with their fascia.If you’ve been frustrated with foam rolling or aren’t sure which tools to use for scoliosis self-care, this episode will give you a clear path forward.

Episode 125: Cobb Angle vs Rotation in Scoliosis: Why It Matters
When it comes to your scoliosis, your Cobb angle is only half the story…In this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I’m breaking down the difference between Cobb angle and spinal rotation and why both matter. Most people know their Cobb angle by heart, but scoliosis isn’t a two-dimensional condition. It’s three-dimensional, and the “hidden twist” of rotation often explains more about your pain, posture, and daily comfort than the number your doctor tracks.In this episode, you’ll hear:✅ What your Cobb angle actually measures (and what it doesn’t)✅ Why someone with a “small” curve can still have visible posture changes✅ How spinal rotation impacts your breathing, balance, and muscle activation ✅ Simple strategies you can use right now to reduce rotation and feel better in your bodyIf you’ve ever felt frustrated that your Cobb angle doesn’t reflect how your scoliosis feels, this episode will give you a clearer picture and practical tools to be more in control of your curve.

Should you only be strengthening the “weak” side for scoliosis?In this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I’m breaking down why scoliosis strength work isn’t as simple as picking one side and going all in. You’ll learn how the concave (shortened) side and convex (lengthened) side of your curve each have unique weaknesses and why both need strengthening, but in different ways.In the episode, I’ll walk you through: How to tell which side of your curve is shortened vs. lengthenedWhy blindly strengthening can actually reinforce your curve patternEasy propping techniques to set your spine up for success before you liftMy favorite moves for activating, controlling, and balancing each side of your curveYou’ll also hear a client story that proves how changing just one part of your routine can transform your posture, comfort, and daily support.If you’ve been strength training with scoliosis but aren’t seeing the results you want, this episode will help you finally train smarter for your unique spine.Resources mentioned:Get on the waitlist for the Scoliosis Strength Collective and save $1000Grab the wedge props that I mentioned HERESchedule a Discovery Call w/ MeghanMy Virtual Scoliosis Coaching ServicesMy WebsiteFREE At-Home Exercises For Scoliosis

Episode 123: Are You Stretching the Right Side for Your Scoliosis?
Are you stretching the “tight” side of your scoliosis? Here’s what you’re missing…If you’ve ever been told to “just stretch the tight side” of your scoliosis, I want to help you understand why that advice might be doing more harm than good. In this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I’m breaking down what’s really happening in the body with scoliosis and why stretching alone isn’t the answer.You’ll learn how to identify your concave (collapsed) side, what it means to open those areas safely, and how to avoid feeling worse after stretching. I’ll walk you through simple ways to assess your own curve, how your breath can reveal hidden restrictions, and why we need to think in three dimensions when it comes to scoliosis movement.I’ll also share my favorite strategies for creating more space in the body like myofascial release, supported breathing, and using props to gently decompress.Scoliosis isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is your movement practice. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode will give you a clearer path forward.Resources mentioned:Get on the waitlist for the Scoliosis Strength Collective and save $1000Grab a Yoga Tune Up Ball HEREGrab the wedge props that I mentioned HEREExercise Video: Supine BreathingExercise Video: Supported RestSchedule a Discovery Call w/ MeghanMy Virtual Scoliosis Coaching ServicesMy WebsiteFREE At-Home Exercises For Scoliosis
