For Teens

First things first, you're at the right place!

​

Poez is created for teens like you. Here are our top tips for starting your scoliosis journey:

1. 💖 Know that you're not alone: build your squad who can support you, both body and mind 

2. 📝 You're in control: make daily life easier by getting the right tools and tracking your progress - chairs, backpacks, journals, you name it!

3. 🎉 Celebrate all wins: big or small, treat yourself!

Because scoliosis doesn't just change your body -  it affects energy, mood, confidence, and school life.

​

• 🤗 A support system is a safe space
  When people already know, you don’t have to feel guilty for sitting differently, stretching, or taking breaks.

• 💖 It protects your mental health
  Having people who believe you makes pain feel less isolating and overwhelming.

• 🔨 It helps you get the right support
  Better seating, lighter workloads when needed, flexibility on bad pain days. We got you.

• 💪 It reminds you you’re more than your spine
  On tough days, others can see your strength when you can’t.

1. 🏃 It's a marathon, not a sprint: Some days you’ll feel great, other days will suck. That’s normal. Progress is usually slow and quiet, so 1-2 cheat days are totally fine!

2. 🎮 Pair something challenging with something rewarding: Bracing and exercising can feel boring or frustrating. Hack your brain instead! Like watching your favorite show while doing exercises, or turn bracing into a game that you can level up in using the Poez app.

3. 💺 Get good back support: Work smarter to reduce pain and keep your curve under control. Use a supportive chair, desks, and well-fitted backpack.

​

You’re in this for the long run, but you don’t have to figure it out alone 💙
