Default Scoliosis anyone?

I am wondering if anyone else here has scoliosis and if so, how it has affected your training.

I had severe scoliosis when I was younger and had a 10-vertebrae spinal fusion at age 14. It helped a lot, but unfortunately my spine rotated a bit after surgery so my rib cage is rather distorted (sticks out far on my right side). I have worked out consistently since the surgery (I am 24 now) but only went to a physical therapist two months ago. My PT helped me work on some of my imbalances, but obviously there is only so much that can be done.

I've been lifting heavy for the past two years and love it, but I sometimes get frustrated because the right and left sides of my back are like two different people! I do the best that I can though. I just started getting some ART and feel like that is helping a bit.

Anyway, long post, but I just wanted to see if there is anyone out there who can relate.
