Happy New Year!
Hi scoli friends! Firstly, I wanted to say thank you so much for joining The Bionic Project community space, and sharing your stories. A community can't be built without people being willing to share and be vulnerable, and so many of you have done just that.
Secondly, I would like to announce our next virtual event will be on January 26th, at 7pm EST. I will be doing this Backtalk event solo, for an opportunity for you all to get to know me better and hear what plans I have for The Bionic Project and building this community this year! If you're unable to attend live, there will be a recording link sent out afterward if you are registered.
I hope you're having a wonderful start to 2026 and I can't wait to chat with you all soon! 💚

So excited!!
Hey everyone! I am so excited about this community. I’ve never found anything like this and it’s so nice to be able to share my experience with people who get it.
My name is Bethany and I am 27 years old. I was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 8 and by the time I was 13, I had progressed to a triple curve with my largest measuring at 68 degrees. I underwent spinal fusion surgery in 2011 and am fused from T2 to L3.

👋 I’m Baily and I am so excited to have found this community!
I had a T1-L3 fusion 18 years ago at 21 after being diagnosed around 10. Bracing was never considered because at the time I was dealing with a severe ED. Post op I was dealing with a lot of pain from the hardware and had very little medical support. My then boyfriend (now husband) suggested that strengthening my core would take a bit of a load off my back and help me move with less pain. As someone who’d never been a fan of physical movement I reluctantly tried it out.
Now I mange to move my body daily in ways I’d never though possible - reformer twice a week and Pilates and strength building 3-4 times.
My biggest hang up is still my scars - on top of the regular surgical scarring I have marks from…

I loved reading this so much because it is so similar to my story! I was diagnosed at 11, and it was caught a little too late so i had the fusion at 12, last year. I also am a dancer and go to a dance middle school which was difficult because half of my grade was dance, but i couldn’t do it for so long, so i rushed back into it a month after the surgery and got injured and now i am out again until January. i also was fused from t2-l3
