How Our Patient Overcame Scoliosis and Sciatica to Deadlift Pain-Free

Many people with scoliosis and sciatica are told they should avoid heavy lifting—especially deadlifts. But for our patient Jim, that wasn’t an option. He wanted to get stronger, but every trainer he had worked with failed to teach him how to deadlift without pain.

The problem? They used a generic approach instead of creating a plan tailored to his needs.

The Power of a Personalized Approach

When Jim came to us, we took the time to assess his movement, mobility, and strength. We didn’t just focus on his scoliosis or sciatica—we looked at his entire body and how he moved. This allowed us to pinpoint the exact reasons he struggled with deadlifts and create a plan designed specifically for him.

The Results? Pain-Free Strength Gains

Once we addressed the root cause of his pain, everything changed. Jim went from thinking he could never deadlift to confidently pulling 225 lbs—50 lbs over his bodyweight—completely pain-free. No back pain, no sciatica, and no fear that his scoliosis would hold him back.
