Based in Columbia South Carolina, Abbey shares her passion of becoming a Schroth specialist.

Graduating from Medical University of Charleston South Carolina, she knew she wanted to specialize in something where she could make an impact. Expanding her medical knowledge working on the trauma team in Columbia South Carolina, she got a call from a friend who worked in outpatient pediatrics saying that they were hiring.

In 2016, she started the journey of working with kids. She had a few patients who she helped & others who she would refer for more specific treatment. This opened her eyes. She did her research finding that everything led to treating the spine from a three dimensional standpoint in the Schroth & BSPTS (Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School) methods.

Wanting to help patients, she signed up for an intro course in Boston.

During this time, she found out a colleague at another clinic also wanted to help people in the scoliosis community. They joined forces, getting certified in Levels 1 & 2 in BSPTS.

Our clinics open in 2021 & we are now blowing up with patients! However she started to question why some patients were being diagnosed in the late stages of Scoliosis. She found out there are 20+ states that no longer do screenings in schools.

Abby shares her wins & pains that keep her driven to continue working with the Scoliosis community.

In middle school around age 13 Kerry noticed she started to have pain. After doing a few toe touch tests, nothing was noticed, though she had a significant curve. In high school, she was playing a lot of sports, during which she was given a brace & told “wait & see.” Not understanding what was happening, she & her friends would make a joke out of it. She wore her brace at night though she was told to wear it 24/7.

While in college her pain became so significant that surgery became her only choice, though she wanted to put it off. She decided that Christmas break would be the best time to have surgery, thinking it was no big deal. Break was over & she flew back to school & was carrying her books living her every day college life. 

She started to notice after being fused T1- T11, her pain patterns hadn’t changed. The continued when she was in grad school. The pains kept her frozen, including where she was fused. It was during this time that she learned about the nervous system & the things she could do to help her Scoliosis, Schroth  Scoliosis Pilates just to name a few. When she started working on these, techniques, her pain started to “melt away.”

After talking with Erin Meyers, from Spiral Spine,  hearing other peoples stories, Kerry started to  learn about the ways to take control through her nervous system. She believes that taking some of the trauma out of Scoliosis will lesson the pain.

This is something that resinates with her. Take the darkness, fight or flight “Dorsal Vagal” out. Kelly started to notice that what she was sharing with her clients, she wasn’t applying to herself. She heard a repetitive voice that kept playing on a cassette player. This voice kept triggering her.  As she explored, she discovered that her triggers came from doctors language.

She found Vivian DaywithViv on Instagram. Through Viv’s program, her world opened up. 

Kerry learned how to change that language started got certified in neurological fitness-short somatic exercises that make you feel safe. 

Through her own work, she created an 8 week program, Nerve to Sour. Master anxiety & heal your nervous system.

Practicing for almost 4 decades as a Chiropractic Orthopedist and author of 'Healing The Human Machine.’

Dr. Hargis, a graduate from Palmer College, he wanted to specialize in Orthopedics because that was most germain to patient population he was seeing. 

Once making the decision into Orthopedics, he went through an 3 1/2 year orthopedic program at NY chiropractic college. 

Along the way, he started treating people with Scoliosis. During this time, he saw X-ray of patients, noticing leg length discrepancies. To his surprise, radiologists never commented on these. 

Dr Hargis shares his a rational perspective. X-rays are taken from a standing position. This should be an easy observation to see as a leg length discrepancy. Dr. Hargis explains. The spine made up of 24 moveable vertebra sitting on a pelvis. If one leg is shorter, you’re going to have a pelvic tilt. In Dr. Hargis, opinion the leg length discrepancy is never discussed. If a lift were put in the show, while tracking the scoliotic patient, 

“there would be no money to be made.”

Dr Hargis, questions “why Scoliosis isn’t evaluated properly.”He breaks this down. 

Dr. Hargis dives deeper into the connection of body balance in his book, Healing the Human Machine along with equipment he has designed to help patients. There is a way to balance & correct the body if you understand how to do it. 

He emphasize’s how important exercise is.

“Balance them from the ground up.” Good spinal mobility is important. One way to get them is through spinal manipulation. 

“Doing the right therapy avoiding the wrong procedures.”
