93. Is It Safe to Lift Weights with Scoliosis with Caroline Freedman

Many people with scoliosis are told to “be careful” with strength training — but what does that actually mean?

In this Back Chat I’m joined by personal trainer Caroline Freedman, who also lives with scoliosis and spinal fusion. We’ll talk about whether lifting weights is safe, how strength training can support your spine, and what to be mindful of when getting started.
