Does anyone here have any experience of scoliosis and if there treatment outcomes affect training. My daughter, 14, has just been diagnosed. She's always been active, a decent club swimmer, likes to run, just started road cycling regularly rather than occasionally and is keen to do triathlons again. We're still waiting to see the specialist we have been referred to so I'm jumping the gun here quite a bit but we're keen to look at the options in advance and interested in any experiences people have had rather than just the official line. The main treatments available in the UK if the condition continues to progress as it has been doing is surgery provided by the NHS or we can look at intensive Schroth method based physio which we can pay for ourselves. Both would likely mean time off work and school etc which is why we're having a good look at all the possible outcomes in advance.
I appreciate each case is unique to the individual and but does anyone here have experience of these treatments and their sporting life afterwards? Things we can consider in treatmnet decisions with the medical specialists which we might not have considered I guess. Any issues following successful surgery limiting future sport for instance such as limited movement range or the daily requirements to keep up schroth method exercises limiting other training apart from time? TIA.
