💚 Early detection can make a lifetime of difference.

Last June 30, 2026, as part of Scoliosis Awareness Month, a Scoliosis Screening Mission was successfully conducted at Sunshine Christian Academy through the collaborative efforts of the CLMMRH Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Flexi Spine & Scoliosis Clinic, led by Rehabilitation Medicine Physician and Scoliosis Specialist, Dra. Ma. Celine N. Villo.

This initiative aimed to promote early detection, awareness, and timely intervention for scoliosis among students. Identifying spinal concerns at an early stage allows for proper monitoring and treatment, helping prevent further progression, improve posture, reduce future complications, and support healthier growth and development.

We are grateful to Sunshine Christian Academy for welcoming this meaningful initiative and to everyone who helped make this outreach possible. Together, we continue to raise awareness that early screening saves futures and helps every child stand taller and live healthier. 💚

Having scoliosis wasn't a great experience, but I am thankful for it because it taught me to be strong and helped me see how many people truly care about me.

I was 12 years old when my sister noticed that my back was not straight. At first, I was scared because I did not know what scoliosis was. I kept thinking about what would happen to me and if my life would change. During those times, my family was always there to support me and make me feel that I was not alone.

During my first checkup, I was diagnosed with severe thoracolumbar scoliosis. Hearing that diagnosis made me feel even more worried, but I am very thankful to Dr. Licup for recommending Dr. Celine Villo of Flexi Spine Scoliosis and Rehabilitation Clinic. She played a big role in my scoliosis journey. With her guidance and support, I was able to continue my therapy and work toward improving my condition.

As time went by, I learned more about my condition and followed my doctors' advice. Every weekend, my mama and I went to therapy sessions. Sometimes it was tiring because weekends were supposed to be our time to rest. There were days when I felt sad and frustrated, but I kept going. Little by little, I learned that improvement does not happen overnight and that every small step is important.

One of the hardest parts of my journey was seeing my family struggle with the expenses. The checkups, therapy sessions, and other medical needs were not easy to afford. I knew my parents were worried, but they never gave up on me. They always did their best to make sure I got the treatment I needed.

Through these challenges, God blessed us with people who helped us. My uncle was always there for us, and my tita and tito supported us both financially and emotionally. They encouraged me to stay strong and never give up. I am also grateful to everyone who sent their help through GCash and bank transfers, prayed for me, and believed in my recovery. Their kindness showed me that lack of money isn't a hindrance to recovery when people are willing to help and support one another. Because of their generosity, we were able to buy the SpineCor Brace, which became an important part of my treatment. I will always be thankful to everyone who helped my family during this difficult time.

Looking back, I am thankful for my scoliosis journey. It was not easy, but it taught me a lot. It showed me how strong my family is and how much they love me. It also taught me to keep going even when things get hard.

Today, I still have scoliosis, but I do not let it stop me from living my life. Instead, it reminds me of everything my family and I have been through together. I will always be thankful for the people who helped me, supported me, and prayed for me throughout this journey.

I first noticed my scoliosis back in 2019, when I was in Grade 9. Actually, the people around me noticed it first, one of our neighbors and some of my friends. They will always ask, "Ngaa daw kataas sang isa mo ka hawak? At first I thought it was because I kept a lot of things in one skirt pocket, making one side look heavier. As time went on, their questions bothered me more because more people were noticing. I began looking at myself in the mirror and realized they were right, my body was uneven. My right side had a curve and my left side was very straight.

I told my grandmother about it, but we thought it was just normal, and as I aged maybe it would get better. But it didn’t. As days, weeks, months, and years go by, I become conscious and insecure about my body. I also think that’s one reason I struggled to gain weight. I became careful about what I wore and worried when people walked behind me. I feared being noticed and judged. Scoliosis kept me from wearing the clothes I wanted. I also experienced back and neck pain that sometimes made nights uncomfortable and difficult to sleep. It affected my self-esteem a lot. I felt jealous when I saw other girls with even curves who could wear whatever they wanted.

When I was about to enter college, one of the requirements was a chest X-ray. That was the first time I received a clear confirmation, I have thoracic dextroscoliosis. I researched the condition and did many exercises, which helped reduce the pain but weren’t enough. My mother learned about it when I was in senior high, but we were focusing on my other health issues then. In my third year, we had to submit another chest X-ray. The second report has the word “moderate” in it, and I promised myself that once I finished dealing with my IBS, I would get checked for scoliosis.

February 2026 marked as the start of my big step in treating my scoliosis. I was just randomly scrolling and searching about a clinic that I could try. Then there I found FLEXI Spine, Scoliosis, and Rehabilitation Clinic. I sent them a message and had my first appointment, where they required a full-spine X-ray. In Dr. Villo’s office, the number “53°” on the report and how curved the spine looked caught my attention. I was in denial, hoping it wasn’t mine, because my previous X-ray just months ago had said “moderate” and based on my researched, it’s about 25-45°. When it was confirmed, I felt lost and overwhelmed and feared I might need surgery. I’m glad Dr. Villo told me that a brace and therapy sessions could help straighten my back, even if it won’t return to zero degrees.

Even after the appointment, walking home felt surreal, like a scene from a movie where the protagonist learns that she’s dying but none of her family knows. When I came home, I told my mother about it, and she said then I should have that brace, but the thing is, we don't have enough money for it. I’m grateful I have someone who helped without hesitation. He lent me money for the payment of my brace and for my first adjustment, and I still haven’t repaid him yet. He’s also the one who pushed me to do the first step in treating my scoliosis. One lesson from this journey is that being surrounded by people who truly care can lighten the burdens you carry. Seeing others on social media with scoliosis who support and encourage each other also helped me learn to love myself and accept my flaws. Now, every time I fasten the brace I’m reminded of the kindness that made my treatment possible and the resilience I’m building. It doesn’t fix everything, but it reminds me that I’m not walking this path alone, and that has made all the difference.

Ready, get set... wait…ouch, my back hurts.
Who would have thought that I'd have to stop playing table tennis because of a sudden sharp pain in my back?

I always believed that there was nothing wrong with me. I simply went about my daily routines, from studying to playing table tennis. I would describe myself as the kind of student who carried a lot of books in my backpack because I never wanted to miss or forget anything important. I often complained about how heavy my books were, but I never suspected that something was wrong because I was too focused on my academics. As an outlet, I spent most of my free time practicing table tennis to relieve my stress and pressure.

After classes and during weekends, I loved playing table tennis with my friends. Every match was exciting, and I enjoyed challenging myself to improve my speed, reflexes, and techniques. Playing table tennis became one of my greatest passions, and I looked forward to every opportunity to step onto the court. However, things started to go downhill when I began noticing my posture whenever we went to church.

One Sunday in March, while I was serving as an usherette in our local church, my mom noticed how unusual my posture looked when I stood beside the other girls. I felt like a bent ruler that could snap at any moment if someone tried to straighten it forcefully. I was in denial and kept telling myself that it was just how I naturally stood. But as the days went by, it no longer seemed normal.
I was fully aware that treating scoliosis would require a huge amount of money, so I tried to ignore my worries by focusing on school and practicing table tennis. However, everything changed when I suddenly felt pain in my back near my shoulder during one of our practice sessions. I immediately called my mom to explain what I was experiencing, and we had no choice but to visit a doctor.
"I don't want this. In fact, why was I even born with scoliosis?" Those were the thoughts running through my mind as we went to see the doctor. I prayed that my spine would be normal and that nothing serious would be found. Unfortunately, the exact thing I feared became a reality.

After the consultation, I felt hopeless. I stopped playing table tennis for a while because the results were too painful to accept. I was diagnosed with dual scoliosis: upper (severe) and lower (moderate). I was also worried about my parents and the financial burden of buying a custom brace for me. Despite those worries, I chose to place my trust in God and seek His guidance through everything I was facing.

Months passed, and I began attending therapy sessions and doing treatment exercises for my scoliosis. The first time I wore my brace, it felt incredibly tight. It was a completely new experience, and I gave myself time to adjust to my new routine.

Gradually, life became brighter. Every day became another opportunity to heal, and I could feel myself improving little by little. With my doctor's approval, I slowly returned to playing table tennis. Holding the paddle again reminded me of how much I loved the sport. Although I had to be more careful and listen to my body's limits, I was grateful to be back doing what I enjoyed. The journey is meaningful because of the following people: Ms. Jona Tayson Ogatis, my therapist, who helped me introduce new exercises to improve my posture and spine. Lastly, Dr. Ma. Celine n. Villo, the one who guided me on what possible ways for me to become better and fixed.

Scoliosis changed my life in unexpected ways, but it also taught me resilience, patience, and gratitude. I realized that healing is not just about wearing a brace or attending therapy; it is also about finding the strength to keep moving forward despite life's challenges. I am looking forward to the near journey of my scoliosis, where I will be cured with the help of my therapist and doctor.

𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬?

A simple home screening called the 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐦'𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 may help identify early signs of scoliosis.

When your child bends forward, look for:
✔ 𝗨𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀
✔ 𝗨𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲
✔ 𝗔 𝗿𝗶𝗯 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆

While this test does not diagnose scoliosis, it can help determine if further evaluation is needed.

Early detection matters. Identifying scoliosis early allows for timely monitoring and appropriate management.
If you notice any signs of asymmetry, our team at FLEXI Spine, Scoliosis, & Rehabilitation Clinic is here to help.
