"As someone who also suffers from a 'spondy' I can tell you that I understand your frustration. At the age of 16, I was diagnosed with a 'spondy' and immediately had numerous questions and concerns. I was given the run-around by many doctors and therapists, and didn't find anything to help me until I decided to enter the field of exercise science and to study the body for myself".

Over the years I have learned what has worked and what hasn't. I have been able to control my pain with education and proper exercise.
