Episode 32 (part 1): Scoliosis, the Spine, and posture with Meredith Weiss

Welcome to part 1 of episode 32 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Meredith Weiss speaks into misconceptions around scoliosis and loading the spine, as well as how you can address movement differences with Scoliosis. Do you know what scoliosis can teach everyone? Meredith Weiss is a physio that specializes in this vast and intriguing topic. In the podcast Meredith gives us insight into the Schroth method and how it is connected to yoga. Although a huge fan of yoga to support those with spinal imbalances, she also shares things to be mindful of to not exacerbate the challenges this community comes up against. Meredith shares a wealth of knowledge from the foundation of breath and how important it is to stabilize the spine to the importance of the core, nasal breathing and working with the vestibular system. Whilst many like to knock the neutral S-curve alignment, she has found that using it as a foundation has been truly transformational for her clients. Her greatest gift is how she layers awareness about the spine, strategies for stability and the power of breathing.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Learn More About Meredith Weiss: Meredith is a licensed physical therapist with over 25 years of clinical experience in outpatient orthopedics and the fitness & wellness industries.
