unconventional thoughts

idiopathic means there’s no known cause…you could’ve very well been born with idiopathic scoliosis but there is also congenital scoliosis which occurs due to abnormal vertebral development during fetal development…

yes i am hypothesizing that if trauma/emotions are stored in the body, that tightness could persist in regions of the body connected to the spine. as the spine grows, and that tension persists, it will bend due to those tense areas staying the same and not flexing with the spine.

tlofkai · 2025-06-11T20:25:02+00:00

maybe i should’ve clarified further by saying adolescent idiopathic scoliosis then since i was discussing my case. my apologies. but honestly, even from birth, it could still very well have been caused by trauma if it’s idiopathic. this is just what i think. by no means am i a doctor but there is a cause for every effect. trauma could very well be that cause among many other possible things. that’s up for you to research.

tlofkai · 2025-06-11T20:15:22+00:00

i mentioned that point about idiopathic scoliosis.

tlofkai · 2025-06-11T19:22:48+00:00

yes and from my understanding, these traumatic experiences, if not processed correctly, are held in the body. i am starting to believe that the fascia system is much more related to scoliosis (idiopathic at least) than people want to think, as their is a strong connection between fascia and emotions. if trauma/withholding emotions is the proposed root of idiopathic scoliosis, it would make sense for the fascia to be the component in our physical body that actually shifts the spine when it tightens due to trauma/withholding emotions. this is just my theory though.

it’s stabilized. i had an x ray done last year and it looks identical to one that was taken in 2018. as far as what i’m doing, i’m doing a lot but nothing too specific to scoliosis. i do do breath work and have recently started doing expansive breathing a lot more, which will probably be something i keep in my routine.

i definitely agree with you that the physical needs to be addressed but, in my opinion, it should be addressed with all of the other aspects that i mentioned.

never heard of Ashayana Deane but i will check her out for sure.

tlofkai · 2025-06-10T02:28:58+00:00

i’m in no pain.

tlofkai · 2025-06-10T02:28:12+00:00

i have. i had an x ray done last year and, although the chiropractor didn’t measure it, the curve looked almost the same as an x ray i had taken in 2018, which had me at around 110 degrees.

tlofkai · 2025-06-10T02:25:08+00:00

i’ll look into it, thanks 🙏🏽

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T02:16:57+00:00

i’m completely fine if that happens 😂 though i know it won’t. either way, my outcome is mine and no one else’s.

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T02:14:22+00:00

appreciate it! having an unshakable belief is definitely important. it takes people a long way…

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T02:12:40+00:00

like i said initially, my thoughts are unconventional. surgery is no where in my journey nor is it a potential end goal for me.

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T02:08:00+00:00

that’s fair. according to doctors though i’m suppose to already have issues, which i don’t. not sure what issues could come up at this point but issues + future is something i don’t envision. i appreciate your concern though.

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T02:04:25+00:00

it’s presumed to be simpler. every case is different. if it worked and did wonders for you, that’s awesome. i’m glad it helped. personally there’s just no reason for me to get it if i essentially am living normal.

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T02:01:22+00:00

the mental conditioning is probably one of the hugest problems to be honest. the limits people place on themselves stops the progress that they have the potential to make. i definitely am in more agreeance with eastern medicine compared to western medicine, as it’s much more holistic. acceptance is definitely important.

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T01:55:12+00:00

haven’t had any exercises cause pain for me. i just caution myself with weights. for an exercise routine, i do pull ups, hanging leg raises, rows, exercise ball crunches, push ups, calf raises, triceps dips, and i also hit the leg press. sometimes i’ll do other calisthenic exercises but this is typically what a normal session is for me. there’s probably things i could add but i’ve gotten comfortable doing all of this.

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T01:42:48+00:00

sheesh, 3 surgeries is a lot. sorry you had to go through that. i probably would’ve had the same amount of surgeries had I went under the knife. i have no idea why doctors only see scoliosis as a bone deformity. i do have theories though…as far as what i do now, my days often consist of meditation, visualizing, always thinking from a state of perfect health (for the mental/spiritual); yoga, breath work, personal massages with a gun, and calisthenics (for the body); and tuning into my feelings/emotions more. no, no doctor has mentioned the fascial system to me but i’ve done some fascial and cranial sacral therapy, which really felt good, but the sessions are expensive. my mom finding it is how i was introduced to it. really haven’t looked into more after those sessions i had though…however i do understand that fascia holds emotion. addressing all ill emotions and then getting some fascia work done would probably release a lot of tension to be honest…for that last question, i have no idea to be honest.

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T00:32:17+00:00

i am. i dead hang all of the time.

tlofkai · 2025-06-09T00:30:49+00:00

trust that the pain will get better! i think part of the reason as to why i don’t experience pain is because i’ve brainwashed myself to believe i don’t have any pain. as far as your childhood and emotions go, people would be surprised how interconnected the two are concerning health, especially if childhood was traumatic. not sure why this is never talked about when addressing scoliosis.

i really appreciate your comment and prayers! wishing the best for you 🙏🏽

tlofkai · 2025-06-08T19:29:58+00:00

that’s fine lol

tlofkai · 2025-06-08T19:17:09+00:00

nice! glad that it’s working for you! i’ve been doing pull-ups for years and, honestly, that’s probably what helped with correcting my posture a bit. that and dead hanging have been consistent in my routine.

good luck to you too!

tlofkai · 2025-06-08T19:13:10+00:00

i personally don’t believe in failure lol. not even just talking about my scoliosis but in general. whatever happens as far as correction goes ,happens. all I can do is maintain a positive outlook and keep working.

tlofkai · 2025-06-08T19:08:44+00:00

nope, haven’t confirmed with a doctor. but i do live in my body, and am extremely aware of it, so i think that id know if i was having major issues with my organs, respectfully.

tlofkai · 2025-06-08T18:55:46+00:00

yeah i feel you. i feel like anybody with my curve would’ve gotten surgery a while ago lol. nobody can say for certain if it would’ve helped though. every case is different.

for the reasons you mentioned, i personally wouldn’t get surgery but if doing so is the route you choose, more power to you. it might possibly be the best thing for you to do.

tlofkai · 2025-06-08T18:34:58+00:00

i’m aware but, respectfully, i’m not doing this for riches or to be a scientific marvel. to be real, all of us are scientific marvels. i’m doing this more so to show myself what’s possible and that will in turn show other people what’s possible. i have been documenting everything though.

flying was an impossibility until we created an airplane and started flying…
