I have this dilemma about lifting heavy weight or not. Read a lot that squats and deadlifts are bad for our backs.. but I came thru this story and I dont know what to think. I have emailed her now and I will wait to see what she will reply to me.
Here is the link and I will quote where it states about her scoliosis journey:

Here is the link and I will quote where it states about her scoliosis journey:
Jeannie Bassi from Jeannies Beach CrossFit in Virginia Beach, VA grew up in Thailand, where she competed in Varsity sports against 8 International teams in Southeast Asia.
When she was young she was diagnosed with pretty severe scoliosis, and had to wear a hard plastic body brace for over 2 years to keep her spine from getting any worse. She was told that the 38 degree curve in her spine would prevent her from doing most sports. It was then she took action and began doing 'functional' movements in her room: squats, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups. Long story short, she went from a 38 degree to a 12 degree curve by working her muscles properly and efficiently.
