Question about scoliosis exercise
by Sugoya, Aug 16, 2009 09:52AM
It may be too late now as I am about to become 25 years old in September, but I know that there are certain stretching exercises meant to correct Scoliosis or, at least prevent it from becoming worse. I supposedly only have 4% curvature, so the docs. say that it's not really anything to worry about.
This is what my report says: [U][B]There is minimal scoliosis of the upper thoracic spine with convexity to the left.[/B] The angle of scoliosis is about 4-degrees. There is no secondary lumbar scoliosis. The pedicles, vertebral body and disc spaces are normal.[/U]
So when I do stretching exercises, which way would be best for me to bend and lean in order for me to work my way towards a more normal position? Rght or left?

Hi there. I went to rolfing & it really helped me. I had severe scoliosis from being partially paralyzed. Good for you that you're doing the work now, because it can get really bad. Also, a very well trained pilates person can help you with this. The practice focuses on imbalances. I could write a book on this so if you have specific ? go ahead a email me. Do you have a short leg & which one? Do you have a shoulder or jaw that is a problem or do you have atrophy anywhere? Kimpton

Thank you for your help Kimpton. I am actually pretty new to all this stuff, so when I get a good grip on the correct questions to ask you I will. Thanks.
