Are you living with back pain, scoliosis, spinal fusion, chronic tension, or an old injury that never fully healed? Or maybe it’s a lingering stiffness or fatigue that you just can’t seem to shake?

Happening online on May 9, 2026 from 9:30am–12:00pm PT (12:30–3:00pm ET), this 2.5-hour experience includes simple, floor-based movements that: • calm your nervous system • release long-held tension • support natural alignment • restore ease + pain-free mobility

Your spine listens to your breath — waves moving, body unwinding, space returning.

📣 CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS 📣

Our next Fusion Forum is on Thursday, April 16, 2026 and we’re looking to amplify real stories from our community around pregnancy, birth, and child-rearing — and we’d love to hear from you! We’re especially interested in experiences with:

✨ Working with a doula or midwife
✨ Choosing an epidural — or choosing not to
✨ Vaginal birth and cesarean birth experiences
✨ Your child-rearing journey

Every path is different, and every story matters. By sharing openly, you help others feel informed, supported, and less alone. If you’re interested in participating, please click the link below to fill out a short form!

2025 was a year of Fusion Focus at TOPS 🧡

What began as a simple realization — that people living with scoliosis fusion need more tailored support — has grown into something so much bigger.

We’ve expanded to offer:
✨ Workshops
✨ Support groups
✨ Retreats
✨ Online forums
✨ And even a fundraiser to help someone receive life-changing surgery

At the heart of it all is one goal: to make life after fusion feel less confusing, less lonely, and more empowered.

If you or someone you love is living with scoliosis fusion, this community is for you. Read Martha's latest blog (link is below) to learn what we’ve created, why it matters, and how you can be part of this growing movement.

Back in 2019, Martha Carter explored scoliosis through Dr. Gabor Maté’s Bio Psycho Social + Spiritual lens in her blog. 🌿 You can read the full blog here: https://www.twistedoutreachproject.com/blog/2019/10/2/part-28

We hope you had a chance to read Gail Rossi’s powerful guest blog we shared last month. If you haven’t yet, it’s worth the read.

Today we’re turning the spotlight to Nasser—a young man in Morocco whom Gail has befriended and who is in urgent need of scoliosis surgery. His journey is one of courage, hope, and the power of human connection, and we’re hoping to rally a community of support around his healing.

Click the link below to learn more about Nasser and visit the GoFundMe page. Every share, donation, and kind thought makes a difference. 🧡

A new year invites us to slow down, reset, and begin again—with hopes for clarity, balance, and moments of joy along the way.

We’d love to know—which one speaks to you most? Or is there something you’d add to the list?
