‘My core strength was not what it was, my balance was off and my ability hold certain positions was gone.
‘The pain started really slow but at night while sleeping would intensify (I’m not wearing a belt yet but as weeks go on I definitely will).’

‘But we push on and grand ourselves some GRACE! Taking it slow and breathing through everything – Change is good, it might be difficult but it’s all for a good reason.
‘I know I’m not alone dealing SPD – how are you dealing or dealt with it?’
