Around the age of ten during a school screening exam, it was discovered that I had an asymmetry back when I bent forward. The Diagnose was scoliosis. From then on I have been busy with therapies such as physio and cesar where later I went to Germany for a 4 weeks Therapy at the Katharina- Schroth-clinic.

In the period from 2008 to 2014 I did almost every day Therapy according to the Dutch method, wear a brace for 23 hours a day, as a sporty person I could not deal with that. The Katharina Schroth method did work in opposite way with movements and breathing and only a brace when you are tired. In 2014, a Dutch specialist told me that my scoliosis would not get better, but it would not get worse either because of my age.

In my teenage years I translated that as I no longer had to do any exercises daily, which later unfortunately, resulted in an increase of the bent from 36 degrees to 52 degrees unfortunately an surgery was inevitable then.
