After Olivia Kelly was diagnosed with scoliosis, Columbia University Irving Medical Center pediatric orthopedic surgeon Dr. Benjamin Roye and her care team at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital developed a non-surgical treatment plan that allowed her to keep pursuing her Olympic dreams. Olivia shares, "Mary and Dr. Roy have helped me immensely throughout my scoliosis process, and I'm glad that I was able to find another option to help me achieve my goals."

When elite gymnast Olivia Kelly was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 16, she feared it would jeopardize her gymnastics career. But with the help of Dr. Benjamin Roye, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon with #OchSpine at #NYPMorganStanley, and Mary Miceli, a physical therapist at #NYPWestchester, Olivia was able to stop the 30-degree curve in her spine from progressing, wearing a brace and practicing the Schroth method, a scoliosis-specific therapy focused on spinal alignment through stretching, strengthening, and breathing exercises. “I’m so grateful to Dr. Roye and Mary,” says the 18-year-old from northern New Jersey. Today, Olivia looks forward to competing for Mizzou in the fall and pursuing her dream of representing Barbados at the Games in 2028.
