Scoliosis.. what are your experiences with it and do you feel there is any type of training that helps slow the progression or pretty much heal you and do you think if someone like Derek Poundstone(Top level strongman) can compete with two herniated discs that someone can train through and achieve great strength with the spinal issue?
