On this episode of Humans of Chelmsford we are joined by teacher Alex Earl.
Back in 2009 Alex was diagnosed with scoliosis – a condition where the spine twists and curves to the side.
Three years later the decision was made for Alex to undergo major surgery to correct the issue as her curve was growing an inch each year.
Had it been left alone it would have caused her big problems in the years to come.
The Australian, who lives and works as a teacher in Chelmsford, was booked in for the surgery in 2013 and the result of the procedure has earned her the moniker “the girl with an iron spine” thanks to the screws and metal all the way down her back.
Following a lengthy recovery period, with months of inactivity included, Alex subsequently landed in the world of fitness.
In a quest to build up her strength she turned to a number of fitness Instagram accounts for inspiration and specific techniques.
They also – perhaps more importantly – helped her to find the right level of balance between working out and living.
Fast forward to the present day and the 23-year-old has an Instagram account of her own and a blog providing inspiration and sending messages to her own following.
For everything regarding fitness, to moving to a new country, and dealing with major surgery, people know they can get advice from the girl with the iron spine.
Humans of Chelmsford is available on iTunes, Spotify, Acast, Stitcher, Player FM and on our website.
Brought to you by Essex Live, Humans of Chelmsford is a monthly podcast about inspiring people with incredible tales from across the city.
Each week we uncover the stories you never knew existed about fellow Chelmsford residents and their lives.
Music in this episode is from Broke For Free.
