My Hope

Hi :) 

My name is Joan Wanamaker and I'm currently 26 years old.  I have scoliosis and have been "living with the curves" since I was diagnosed when I was 11. 

It's been a long crazy journey and I've learned a lot.  I'd like to share what I have learned with others who have just been diagnosed, who have been living with Scoliosis for years like me, or others who just want to learn about Scoliosis.  I am hoping that what I have learned can help others and give others hope. 

My hope is for others to be able to take what they learn here and maybe apply it to their own lives in some shape or form.  I have found exercises that for me work.  I have found a non-surgical treatment option that actually works!  I hope to inspire hope and I hope that by sharing my own story it will help someone else. 

I remember how alone I felt when I was first diagnosed and throughout the years since.  Please feel free to contact me if you want to talk.  I will always answer.  I will be sharing my story in posts to come as well as posting any new information I find out or anything related to scoliosis that I feel is interesting. 

Hope to see you soon!
