about the author
|
Caroline Bell is a scoliosis warrior. She was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 15, wore a back brace, and had spinal fusion surgery at age 17. Like so many others before her, she had to learn every scoliosis lesson “the hard way.” After years of being mad at her painful back, she decided to learn how to work with it, not against it. This led to an intense journey of discovery, self-acceptance, and connection with the vibrant scoliosis community. It inspired her to create a resource that would resonate with readers, provide the answers they need in plain language, and support them through their own journey. She hopes her book will increase awareness, launch discussions, boost research, and normalize scoliosis.
