我是小梓，我爱画笔、猫咪和我挺直的脊梁

我叫小梓，今年12岁，是个痴迷于画画和服装设计的女孩。我的速写本里总是塞满了各种裙子草图，而我的小猫则是我的首席模特兼捣蛋鬼。但两年前，我被诊断出脊柱侧弯，腰弯23度，胸弯22度。经过两年的外院治疗，却未见好转。  

My name is Xiaozi, and I'm 12 years old. I'm a girl who is passionate about drawing and fashion design. My sketchbook is always filled with sketches of various dresses, and my little cat serves as both my chief model and troublemaker. However, two years ago, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, with a lumbar curvature of 23 degrees and a thoracic curvature of 22 degrees. Despite undergoing treatment at another hospital for two years, there has been no improvement.

于是，我和妈妈通过小红书找到了杨医生的衷德脊柱康复团队，开始了新的脊柱侧弯康复旅程。杨医生不仅制定了详细的支具+训练方案，还发现了一个被其他医生忽略的重要问题——我有长短腿！这个发现让我和妈妈都特别惊讶，也更加信任杨医生的专业。不仅如此，杨医生每次复查都会认真对比数据，细心地调整治疗方案。每天除了戴着支具上学，还要完成各种康复训练。我干脆把瑜伽垫铺在画架旁，练完一组就涂两笔设计稿。渐渐地，我发现自己的线条变得更稳了——不仅是画纸上的，还有身体里的。  

So, my mom and I found Dr. Yang's Zhongde Scoliosis clinic and research center in Shanghai through Red Note, and began a new journey of scoliosis rehabilitation. Dr. Yang not only formulated a detailed orthosis + training plan, but also discovered an important issue that had been overlooked by other doctors—I had unequal leg lengths! This discovery surprised both my mom and me, and made us even more confident in Dr. Yang's expertise. Not only that, but Dr. Yang carefully compared the data at each follow-up appointment and meticulously adjusted the treatment plan. In addition to wearing the orthosis to school every day, I also had to complete various rehabilitation exercises. So, I simply placed a yoga mat next to my drawing board, and after completing a set of exercises, I would quickly jot down two strokes of my design. Gradually, I noticed that my lines were becoming steadier—not just on the paper, but also within me.

两年后的复查日，医生笑着指着X光片：“腰弯10度，胸弯18度，旋转也改善了！”我开心地搂住布丁转圈，它嫌弃地挣脱，跳进了我新做的猫咪主题裙摆模型里。现在的我，能连续画三小时不腰酸，画线条时手也更稳了。上周美术课，老师夸我的人体素描“有种舒展的生命力”——她不知道，那是我悄悄画下了训练时镜子里的自己。  

On the follow-up check-up two years later, the doctor, smiling, pointed to the X-ray image and said, "Your lumbar curvature has decreased by 10 degrees, and your thoracic curvature has decreased by 18 degrees; your rotation has also improved!" I happily encircled Pud in the air, but it managed to wriggle free and jumped into my newly made cat-themed skirt-skirt model. Now, I can draw for three continuous hours without experiencing back pain, and my hand is steadier when drawing lines. At our art class last week, the teacher praised my human figure sketches for having "a sense of expansive vitality"—she didn't know that those sketches were secretly based on my reflections in the mirror during my training sessions.

我特地画了一张画送给杨医生，表达我的感谢，没有杨医生团队的专业和爱心，我不能这么快重新找到我的自信和健康。他们不仅矫正了我的脊柱，更教会了我坚持的意义。

I specially drew a picture to give to Dr. Yang to express my gratitude; without the professionalism and kindness of Dr. Yang’s team, I would not have been able to regain my confidence and health so quickly; they not only corrected my spine but also taught me the importance of perseverance.
