Deonna Purrazzo may be one of the most technically gifted wrestlers in the game, but behind her confident in-ring style is a lifetime of pain management and adaptation.
During a new interview on The Lightweights Podcast with Joe Vulpis, the AEW star opened up about her ongoing struggle with scoliosis and how its shaped her wrestling career.
When asked about painful wrestling moves and how she protects her neck during training, Purrazzo revealed shes been managing spinal issues since childhoodincluding bulging discs and curvature caused by scoliosis.
Because of her condition, she avoids standard neck-strengthening drills that many wrestlers rely on, including bridges and extreme resistance techniques.
Instead, Purrazzo said she focuses on a more manageable and sustainable recovery approach.
The Virtuosas willingness to speak openly about physical limitations adds yet another layer to her already-respected careerproof that toughness isnt just about what you do in the ring, but how you train for it behind the scenes.
