Thank you for enlightening my understanding of my condition. I have seen physios, osteotherapist, chiropractor and none of them explained to me and what I could do to alleviate my condition. Your video has changed my life in managing my scoliosis, can’t thank you enough.
***NOTE!! Regardless of the side, shape, or level of your scoliosis, these scoliosis exercises should be done on both sides! They will naturally stretch and strengthen the side that needs it the most without having to think about it. (They'll stretch the muscles one side more because the muscles one side are always tighter. They will strengthen one side more (the outer part of the curve) because that side has more resistance due to the curve, so needs it more. And they will mobilise one side more because one side will always be more tight and restricted.) But you don’t have to know where the curves are, or even think about it. Just do them regularly, both sides, to get scoliosis pain relief and prevent long term issues from having a scoliosis. In most cases they will NOT straighten the spine, because in most cases the shape of the bones have changed permanently as they grew. ("Adolescent Idiopathtic Scoliosis") P.S. You might notice that I have a mild scoliosis--you can see my neck bends to one side slightly. So I do these exercises too! 💪

I did notice ;) Those of us sharing from the inside are most likely to have genuinely helpful info (as well as "street cred"). I like how you've presented simple (aka do-able!) movements with progressions. (& Let me know if you would like to collaborate on an upcoming project to help more of us! tbc)
Your videos are the most incredible ones I’ve seen in many many years. I wish all chiros would share these with patients at appointments. They are so helpful. Thank you 🙏
Thankyou so much! This was especially inspirational because I have naturally gravitated to doing 3 of the exercises you mention throughout my life, because they feel so incredibly good to do. It's nice to know that our body has its wisdom of finding these things out for itself, if we can let it and when someone like you tells us they are medically or scientifically the best anyway, a little miracle happens in our brain that surely helps us heal even more [well it does in mine].
I do these exercises with my physical therapist. He is right on point. When I actually go 100% I have a significant amount of relief. 48 degree thoracic and 35 lumbar s curve with si joint dysfunction
An advice for all before doing any sciolosis exercise i recommend doing core strengthning exercise (like plank) and you will have wonderful results but its important to remain pesistent. believe me and believe yourself☺.
Oh so nice I think that i will definitely benefit from this. I have all of it including the winging of the scapular. Plus I lost use of my left arm in an accident when I was 20. I am now 60. It's a challenge.
Hello, I have had scoliosis for some 60+ years. My gym teacher noticed it when I was around 15-16 years old but I never told my parents. We were living in a small village, no help around... I was reminded some 5-6 years ago when I was on holiday at a friend's place. I was coming out of the shower, saw myself in a large mirror, and noticed for the 1st time that my left side was more curved than my right one which was nearly straight, and my waist hardly marked! I have seen physiotherapists and chiropractors, but nothing much has changed. Now, my left ribs touch my hip. I do some yoga but can't do the exercises where I have to bend over my left side as it hurts. I am surprised to see that you do say to stretch both sides, regardless what side the curvature is on. I am going to try your exercises because they look interesting but... I'm not sure I'll do some of those on the left side. I am seeing an osteopath in a couple of weeks. Is there anything specific I could ask him? He will notice my scoliosis for sure! Thank you for your very interesting video.
I had 33 degrees scoliosis and I wear body braces and decreased by 10 degrees but I stopped doing follow up check-ups and adjustments during covid cuz i was depressed and last week i had my check up and x-ray. Unfortunately, my scoliosis degree increased with no difference from before. I'm 17 and my doctor said that his final statement is my scolio wont improve anymore and it wont also worsen since i will have to live with having scoliosis forever since this is already my adult spine and it has already hardened. My heart dropped when i heard this and I regret for neglecting my health. I will have to live with drinking pain reliever pills. So today, i gathered my courage to search up exercises that will help me. Do i really have no hope now?
I've seen plenty of patients with 33° scoliosis or more with very little problems. If you're proactive, and keep your spine supple & flexible, using mobilising and stretching exercises, there's a very good chance you can live many years quite comfortably. Without the need for any painkillers.
Just found you! I do a couple of these but knee rolls with feet on the ground so will try your version. I had a compressed wedge fracture at T8 then developed scoliosis shortly after 12 yrs ago. Now I'm 68 and now have S curve and hump ( grrr) I'm twisted and hope I can stop it getting worse. thanks
I have mild scoliosis and a problem in my hip. I had really awful pain that persisted for two weeks in the muscles alongside my spine, my butt and down my leg no matter how much massage and streching I did. Then I tried these exercises and the pain was reduced immediately after. I've been doing them for a couple of days. The pain is gone now. Thank you so much!
Wow awesome. I have scoliosis from a head one car accident caused from 1 leg becoming 1 inch shorter. For 12 years I have had same symptoms. But getting my sole raised and custom made boot because my ankle was also shattered in over 30 pieces causing this incredible pain in the hip and the back sometimes down the side of my . So I look forward to trying these Exercises from reading your testimony. Thank you.
I am going to follow these exercise only because of u because i also have left hip pain and my left shoulder is up i also had a l4 l5 disc extrusion.btw how r u now
How do you strength your back without injury? I feeel it’s very difficult when your spine is not straight. What are the safe scoliosis exercises to do?
I had dorso-lumbar scoliosis since I was a child and I also wore a corset for a few years in my teens. Until recently my most prominent problem was a perpetually tight muscle near my left shoulder blade which often causes tingling in my hand and pain between my neck and shoulders, but over the past few years I have developed a much more annoying problem. It started with numbness in my lower back, which when it goes away leaves me with a not too strong but very annoying pain that often affects my left buttock and leg. Also I can walk for long distances without problems but standing still is often agonizing as my legs go numb and heavy and my lower back becomes heavy and sometimes slightly sore. According to my doctor I probably have sciatica from misaligned hips due to scoliosis, but I haven't had any tests yet to rule out a hernia or anything else. The exercises you showed were taught to me in the hospital years ago but since I have lower back and leg problems I'm a bit afraid to do them because I'm afraid they might worsen my condition, what do you recommend?
Numbness and heaviness are signs of nerve compression so I think the first thing that you should be doing is getting a MRI to check for spinal stenosis and disc protrusions. Numbness is not something to be taken lightly
Thank you so much for your videos. Here’s hoping you will show modifications for the exercises on knees. I had two replaced knees,so this would be helpful. I’m 77.
The cat is hilarious 😂 What do you think of the Schroth method for treating scoliosis? I developed scoliosis in childhood and I'm now 51. My upper back would always get tight due to the curvature, but after 40, I started hurting in my lower back too, especially when sitting for too long. I think it's coming from the SI joint because it hurts down in that area.
Schroth is probably the best bet to minimize the scoliosis when you are still growing (and bracing). But After your mid 20's the growth plates in the vertebrae are well are and truly closed, so the shapes of the vertebrae are fixed and can't be changed. Schroth might help a bit but it won't change the shape. At 51 I'd be focusing on mobilising the joints with things like these exercises, to stop the joints from seizing up too much. But keep in mind that what's happening in your low back now may have very little to do with the scoliosis. (For example, today in practise someone came in with a bad low back but her scoliosis was in her thoracic spine and the two were relatively unrelated.) Try some of my lower back exercises. Actually I'll be updating them in the next couple of months. Good luck!
Yup, hips uneven, shoulders uneven, winged scapula. Not very tight or painful ever since starting the gym, but slightly limited in weightlifting mobility. Just that bench press, face pulls and weighted crunches make it feel like someone stabbed through the lower ribs/stomach/shoulder blade. Or perhaps pulled the chest. I guess it means things want to return to where they belong.

Do these exercises heal scoliosis completely, on the long term or just temporary pain relief? And how long should we do them? Wish I could know pls. Thank u.
Depends on many factors, including severity of curve and mobility you maintain. Muscle pain & some osteoarthritis are possible issues. But some people get no issues, especially if the curve is mild and they are flexible and active
Hello sir, I have lumber scoliosis ) like this. I have pain in below my right shoulder blade and rib area. Some times I feel difficulty in raising my right arm. Is this due to scoliosis . If please tell me some exercises to get rid of this pain.
I'm 20 years old and i have a middle spine scoliosis that causes uneven shoulders and general enevenness, should these exercises help get my spine back in place? And how many times a day should I do it?
I am glad to find this video: the exercise is easy to follow! I am surprised that these exercise are good for all types of scoliosis, no matter left curve or right curve. Is my understanding right? I thought we need scoliosis-specific exercise. I have subscribed your channel. If my understanding is right, I want to start doing these exercise regularly or daily. Thanks!
Yes you're right. There will always been more resistance to movement on the exterior of the curve, so it will naturally mobilise and strengthen on that side more. And there will always be shortening of muscles on the inside of the curve, so the exercises will naturally stretch that side more. So just doing them both sides works. The same for the levels, up and down the spine. You'll just notice that one side is always a bit harder. And you'll feel that the point of maximum curve up the spine is the place you'll notice it more.
King Richard the 3rd had this problem. I wonder what exercises he did? ( I ask myself) I don't expect a answer. (I just realized that I asked a question while I was thinking)
I have mild scoliosis. I don’t know if it’s congenital or anything like that. All I know is that it’s mild and it’s most likely what’s causing one of my shoulders to hang lower than the other one. And I’m not a fully-grown adult yet. Do you think by doing these exercises I could reverse the scoliosis? Thanks! 🙏
quick question, shouldn't we do exercises only in one direction to fix the curvature? If we go both left and right, isn't it just going to stay the same?
Is it compulsory from both sides?? My doctor recommended me to bend towards the right side because my right shoulder and hips are higher than the left.
Hi Carson. Good question. The ribs actually change shape as you grow during your adolescent years (in people who have the most common form of scoliosis), so it's very unlikely that you can change that back. The exercises will mobilise the rib joints so that you get less symptoms associated with related rib joint restrictions.
sir my one side pelvic look more forward than other one Should I continue to do this exercise I had been doing this exercise since 19 day Sir I do heavy cycling in the morning daily to go college Does it bad for me
Sir , I have back pain while standing around 30 minutes pain started. Can’t work more time during sitting and standing. In MRI scan minor left convex lumbar scoliosis. Others normal. I had a history of fall on lower back 2 years back. Is this back pain caused by scoliosis? How to reduce this?
Hello, I'm Italian and first of all I apologize for my bad English. A friend of mine introduced me to your lessons. I am 49 years old and have had 45 degree lumbar scoliosis since I was a teenager. In the last 2 years, also due to heavy physical activity assisting elderly parents and systemic connective tissue disease that is damaging my tissues, the scoliosis has increased to 69 degrees. It's associated with kyphosis, osteophytes, spondylosis and osteopenia. The physiatrist now prescribes me the corset to support the spine. Do you think this is a correct indication? Can your exercises benefit me in any way or do I risk doing worse? Thank you very much for the attention you'll kindly pay me and I really hope in your answer.
I think the corset is a good idea to help stop the progression ... in your case. You need to minimise more damage in the spine and stop the angle from getting worse. It is hard to assess without examining your spine, but I think you should probably not wear the corset all day. Only to support you for part of the day. (The hardest part of the day.) Definitely do exercises to mobilize and strengthen the spine and the muscles around the spine! (If you can do it without irritating your spine)
Parla un ottima inglese! English is my first language and I'm studying Italian currently and plan to learn Spanish next! You have very good English, keep learning!
Hello doctor, I watched your video and I have a question lately I have been having a pain the middle of my back when I wake up from a 6 hour sleep it goes away in about 30 minutes after i get out of bed I have tried different mattress but the problem is still there does it have something related to scoliosis??
The most likely is that you have done restricted joints in your back. Movement loosens them. A lack of movement, like sleeping at night, makes it worse. Exercise to loosen the joints often are enough for this, but some cases need to see a chiropractor to loosen up the joints. If it persists though, get it checked by a doctor. If it's in the mid back, try these... ruclips.net/video/VpFBbxp67lE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/T8vKCXP7OSc/видео.html. If it's in the lower back try my low back exercises
Generally we need to strengthen the convex side. But if you do these exercises on both sides they will automatically strengthen the convex side more because there will be more resistance to the movement on that side
Hello sir ...i have been suffering with scoliosis since age of 14 ...this time my age is 37 ...i have not any problems...can my curve will become more bent in adulthood
Hip Dips are part of normal pelvic anatomy. Exercise to reduce Hip Dips are very unlikely to help. You could try exercises to strengthen the outer gluteal muscle, like lateral leg raises, but I don't see a problem with Hip Dips.
i have thoracolumbar scoliosis i dont know if it is dextro or levo but my rib hump is on the right side yet the x ray shows i have 39° left c curve and 1.8cm lumbar (i forgot the term). could you enlighten me please and which is convex/concave and where should i stretch? thank you
I can't remember which kind of scoliosis you said I have but I do most of the exercises you mentioned in the video but I will start doing some of the other exercises you mention too so thank you! I am curious though, are these exercises good for people without scoliosis to do too?
Yes I do it's called double scoliosis Usually when you have lumbar scoliosis your thoracic spine will try to adjust it that will lead thoracic to get curve also ;(
Im76. As the years go by I’ve gotten shorten & it’s really hard to stand straight. My issues started at a very young age - less than a year old. My baby buggy fell down a steep flight of stairs. Feet turned under & start of back problems. Over the years I’ve had several other back injuries. Was 5.5 & now am 4.11. Chiro has helped some - therapy not much - & I refuse to let rods be put on my spine. Utube has recently had quite a few videos for scoliosis but yours seems to be one of the better ones and I’m going to be using 3 of the stretches . Thank you for posting them. One is similar to one of the therapy exercises I do but a more advanced way of doing it. Old bones need a lot of care.
Thanks for these exercises. One of my shoulders is higher than the other, and I have lower back pain when I stand for any length of time. These exercises made me feel better immediately and I've decided to do them every day.
Saya berusia 30 tahun, terkena skoliosis sejak kecil. Tulang rusuk belakang sebelah kanan saya semakin menonjol hingga 50°. Apakah bisa normal tanpa operasi ? Terapi apa yang bisa membantu saya agar tulangnya tidak semakin melengkung dan rasa pegalnya hilang ? Mohon jawabannya
Thank you for those exercises and it's true they really do work. Strengthening your core muscles is so vital for overall improvement. Takes away breathing problems, walking issues, posture issues and my Cobb angle has not worsen and being consistent I'm hoping for even a reduction. I look forward to more of what you have to offer and Happy New Year!
Sir! I am 15 years old and I have 40 degree scoliosis S curve. My left shoulder bit higher than right. So I can do this exercises to correct it? Suggest me some best exercises to correct unbalanced shoulders? Plz tell me!
I'm 71 YO, Male, now retired and a sufferer of a number of Spinal Conditions including Dextroscoliosis of 25 degrees (up from 22 degrees in the past 10+ years). I have had a few doctor opinions about the cause (Idiopathioc). In 1966, at 15 yo, I fractured my right Femur playing HS Football (not Soccer). It took over 4 months for the healing process which included being in a full Body Cast for 10 weeks after 6 weeks in traction in the hospital. When the cast came off, the doctor was "surprised" to find that my right leg was 1 inch Shorter(the femur was shorter). Other than measuring both my parents' legs (finding my mother was 1/4" short on the right), he left that Unaddressed. After about 15 years, the lower back pains and stiffness started affecting me. It's been downhill ever since. The Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD) is my Ground ZERO, despite one doctor opining otherwise?? Now, I have OA in my spinal vertebrae & Facet Joints; Stenosis at various sites in the spine, DDD throughout, C3-C7 disc bulges & stenosis, T9, T10, L2 L3 and L5-S1 disc buges (and Sponylioethisis ) and OA in both Hips and Knees. I never hit the 8-10 Pain Markers, but generally around 4-6 (It Varies), with constant Stiffness and chronic pains daily. I have seen 6 different Spinal and Neuro Surgeons since 2018 - all said NO Surgery on the Lumbar spine , far too much Arthritis. Acpuncture did very litle to help with the Pains, 6 different Chiros including Upper Cervical Chiropractic did little to help after many sessions. Many people fail to realize that Stenosis and Scoliosic curves affect the Nerves which in turn contributes to a high Misery Index. I will try these exercises, but the Stiffness in my spine limits me. FWW, I have ben taking many supplements to combat the Inflammation, spending lots of $$$$$ in that effort. I learned a few months ago from my Pain Management Doctor that my initial Cervical MRI done in 2012, revealed that I have a More Narrow Than Normal Spinal Canal. Common Sense to this Layman would indicate that would be a contributing factor to the heightened Misery and Anxiety.
Man, that's quite the list, Aldo. I feel for you. Sounds like you're best bet is gentle exercise, like the ones on this video, to mobilize the joints and loosen the muscles. Start really gently, just do the exercises that feel good. Maybe try my lower back exercise video and one or two others too. You might be surprised how much you can do for yourself. Good luck.
I’m always looking for stretches and exercises on the internet that help scoliosis. I have AIS since 13, left lumbar curve, or Levoscoliosis. Here in the UK there are not many professionals with much knowledge of scoliosis. These exercises are brilliant for keeping the back supple and flexible, which of course reduces pain. Interestingly, I notice Usain Bolt has scoliosis too- lumbar and thoracic in an S shaped. He is the fastest man in the world and works hard on building up his back muscles so you can hardly tell he suffers from it. I wonder, I have started using the gym now at age 42, as I have looser stomach muscles from having children. Is it possible do you think to build up the concave muscles to reduce the rib hump and support the spine better? It’s only recently my rib cage has started irritating me on the left side, it feels like something digging in sometimes, I wonder if it’s because my stomach muscles are not very strong? Thank You for the videos, I’m so happy I found this channel to use!
The Schroth technique aims at reducing the curve and rib hump. You might have some luck with that, but it's more likely to help in teenagers, it's a lot of work, and I'm not convinced it can do much. The issue is that with AIS the bones change shape as you grow in the teenage years. Now that the bones have matured and formed their final shape (at 18 years old or so) you can't alter their shape. The rib cage pain could be rib restriction, muscle tightness, or arthritic joint degeneration. The exercises on this video are the best I know to help with the first two. But do them on both sides. I don't really think working the abs will make much of a difference to your rib irritation. This video may help too. ruclips.net/video/T8vKCXP7OSc/видео.html Good luck!
Sir can these exercise fix my uneven shoulder, flared ribs which cause due to scoliosis What are benefits of doing this exercise? Sir I am very scared and this problem(scoliosis) depress me lot Hence,I ask you these question.
Mine is Thoracic so it felt amazing doing each if the stretches, I'm gonna continue these for a few days and let you know how it's going for me. My degree is 43.3 and I have a 15° in my neck, ;_; I use to have a third one but it's gone now :) I'm 19 years old but I'm not sure if it progressed or not since I haven't been able to find anyone to do xrays for me that will accept the card I have. Mom keeps saying I'll be fine but they diagnosed me with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, even though she keeps saying no but how would I not remember something this important to me when it's not important to her? Honestly. Thanks for sharing this video.❤
I just went to the doctor because of horrible pain in all of my right side, front neck, arm rib cage hip and foot. He took an x ray and said that my scoliosis was mild with some rotation, about10 degrees. He said that my scoliosis cant be posisible causing all of those pains in my right side.... yet, he didnt find any other cause for my pain and said those pains are not related with each other!!! I do not believe it. What is your opinion.
I am doing these and your other scoliosis exercises! I wonder if one of my leg is shorter also. Believe it or not, the doctor didnt check that or my rib with is sticking out as well as a hump in my right side of my back when i bend over... ever breathing this hurts my rib, back and chest😢 I work as a furniture refinisher, sanding and painting. Do I need to stop doing my job? Thanks doctor! I am sharing your videos with all of my friends. God bless you
Hello,I have lumbar scoliosis and I am 20 now.I got scoliosis when I was 11,but at that time I never knew about scoliosis and thought that it was just my bad posture,yesterday I visited the doctor and he told me that since I am an adult,surgery is the only treatment.I only have a small curve .Can these exercises help me to reduce my curve?Sir, please reply
I have functional scoliosis. Have had it for the past 7 months. I tried 3 physiotherapists. I'm on my 3rd and they are helping me improve my posture and strengthen muscles around it but I still get back pain when I have to walk to school with a heavy bag. Or help my parents move houses with furniture. And it's very expensive. There's been improvement but very little. Im now 16 years and 3 months old. My scoliosis was a cause of 3 previous lower back injuries and muscle imbalances and weightlifting strain being my bulged disc, bruised tail bone and then generally sore lower back muscles from the nervous systems' trauma. ------ My question: at what age will my spine stop growing? I have a short torso by the way. Also I haven't tried doing the back brace to straighten my spine but everyone tells me because mine is functional it shouldn't be addressed with a brace. I wish I could figure this out without it costing so much money and time
I’ve had a hard time figuring out why I was having pain around my ribs so often. But after being scanned by a chiro, it makes sense. I have a minor S shape scoliosis, and notice that my back muscles are always tight. Whether my pain comes from the muscle or cartilage, im not sure, but it seems that every time my spine gets Re-aligned, I feel significant improvements.
If you get relief from chiropractic you must have some restricted joints in there. Spinal or costovertebral joints. So some of these mobilising exercises should help too
Hello.my daughter was diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis shes 13yrs old.with 32 degrees.shes advice to take therapy and wear braces..is there any chance to decrease that curve if she do the therapy and wear brace?
Every case is different, so it's hard to say without examining her. If she has only just started growing it is more likely that you can influence the curves. If she has already done most of her growing it is harder. In most cases the aim is to stop it from curving more as she grows. You can look for a specialist in the Schroth technique, and they should be able to advise you on any bracing required too. Do what you can while she is still growing because her bones have not matured fully yet, but make sure you get professional advice for her specific case. Good luck!
Hi. My 3-year-old son has a scoliosis with Thoracic hemivertebra defects no12. How old can he start to do this exercise? And this exercise can help to get rid of scoliosis completely (or how much can improve)? Please give me advice. Thanks you so much and wish all luck & health to you.
I’m so grateful to have found your channel. I have learnt so much from your videos, easy to understand the underlying reasons, simple exercises to follow! Look forward to your upcoming videos!! :)
Why is everything on the floor!!! Seniors with knee problems can't do any of these exercises. The bed is too soft. I don't even sleep in a bed because of hips. I have to sleep in a recliner to take pressure off my pelvis for other organ issues.
You can sit on your bum on the floor or use a yoga mat. When you sit down you lift one arm to the side and lean to the other side. Standing up is difficult for seniors but try. The cobra slowly increases flexibility instead if doing the cow exercise
People, scoliosis can be fixed. Maybe not when the curve is really bad, but there’s a man he manipulates the bone. I’ve chatted with him and he’s showed me how he’s done it. There’s people with curves and I’m not sure what he does but with his hands their spine gets less curved and becomes straighter.
I am 35 year old I have two children.... After few week I have severe pain m scoliosis please guide mee... My left shoulder is high... I have troubIe standing up straight and have been leaning forward.. I can not understand what should I do...
They can help maintain good movement in the spine which is the secret to minimising the impact of a scoliosis. As long as they don't hurt, I would definitely recommend that you do them regularly
I found your job the most relevant and well-presented, thank you for that. I have mild Scoliosis between my shoulders, so my right shoulder is a little lower, and my right collarbone has more gap compared to the left side at the Sternoclavicular Joint (clicks with particular movements). I was wondering if the collarbone issue as I described is a common symptom in such a condition or not?
Differences in the SC joint is not something that is related to scoliosis. Or at least I've never noticed that, or read about it in relationship to Scoliosis

I have scoliosis,very painful hip and my back! I do yoga,pilates cycling and i start weights ,my question is do I have anything to avoid just because the scoliosis? Thank you!
Most people can do anything. If you've got a very painful hip and back, you may have more inflammation or degeneration than normal, so just go easy the first time and see how your body responds
My right upper side between my spine and shoulder blade hurts every time I inhale/exhale deeply. Does anyone know what is causing the pain and how to fix it?
I can never remember which side my curves are! I have idiopathic scoliosis, s shape more pronounced in the thoracic area and also the neck. I have almost constant thoracic pain and a recent xray showed, damage, bony spurs etc T7-9. I'm going to try these exercises. Thanks so much.
I have mild scoliosis and disc bulging in my lumer spine... The pain is too bad and i had been crying because of it a lot these days. Let's see if this helsp

Thanks so much for the lovely comment CV. I'm glad I could help
***NOTE!! Regardless of the side, shape, or level of your scoliosis, these scoliosis exercises should be done on both sides! They will naturally stretch and strengthen the side that needs it the most without having to think about it. (They'll stretch the muscles one side more because the muscles one side are always tighter. They will strengthen one side more (the outer part of the curve) because that side has more resistance due to the curve, so needs it more. And they will mobilise one side more because one side will always be more tight and restricted.) But you don’t have to know where the curves are, or even think about it. Just do them regularly, both sides, to get scoliosis pain relief and prevent long term issues from having a scoliosis.
In most cases they will NOT straighten the spine, because in most cases the shape of the bones have changed permanently as they grew. ("Adolescent Idiopathtic Scoliosis")
P.S. You might notice that I have a mild scoliosis--you can see my neck bends to one side slightly. So I do these exercises too! 💪

A lot of what you're showing looks like yoga...so im.thinking yoga may help? Thsnk you for your video!
How would you recommend stretching bed bound individuals. That are completely dependent on others.
I did notice ;) Those of us sharing from the inside are most likely to have genuinely helpful info (as well as "street cred"). I like how you've presented simple (aka do-able!) movements with progressions. (& Let me know if you would like to collaborate on an upcoming project to help more of us! tbc)
Literally 2 days and the pain is gone. You are a gift for humanity, I'm really thankful
Wonderful! So glad to hear it! 🙌 Messages like yours make it all worthwhile. 👍🙏
Your videos are the most incredible ones I’ve seen in many many years. I wish all chiros would share these with patients at appointments. They are so helpful. Thank you 🙏
Thanks, STM! That's really nice of you!
Thankyou so much! This was especially inspirational because I have naturally gravitated to doing 3 of the exercises you mention throughout my life, because they feel so incredibly good to do. It's nice to know that our body has its wisdom of finding these things out for itself, if we can let it and when someone like you tells us they are medically or scientifically the best anyway, a little miracle happens in our brain that surely helps us heal even more [well it does in mine].
Yes, the body often knows what it needs. Good on you for listening carefully to it
Me too!!
I do these exercises with my physical therapist. He is right on point. When I actually go 100% I have a significant amount of relief. 48 degree thoracic and 35 lumbar s curve with si joint dysfunction
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hi. How do you find this info out about the degrees etc? Please any info?
@@AntonioLiberato08 those are the curvatures of my spine.
@@BMCLegacy hi Danielle. Who can I go to see who can take proper measurements of my spine? Thank you!
That’s mid-range curve isn’t it? What are your si joint issues and what are you doing for that? Can it be corrected?
An advice for all before doing any sciolosis exercise i recommend doing core strengthning exercise (like plank) and you will have wonderful results but its important to remain pesistent. believe me and believe yourself☺.
Thanks for sharing, Mohammad.
Just trying to help a soul😃
My spine cracked on the very last exercise I did and it felt so good
🙌💥
Oh so nice
I think that i will definitely benefit from this. I have all of it including the winging of the scapular. Plus I lost use of my left arm in an accident when I was 20. I am now 60. It's a challenge.
I hope it helps!
Hello, I have had scoliosis for some 60+ years. My gym teacher noticed it when I was around 15-16 years old but I never told my parents. We were living in a small village, no help around... I was reminded some 5-6 years ago when I was on holiday at a friend's place. I was coming out of the shower, saw myself in a large mirror, and noticed for the 1st time that my left side was more curved than my right one which was nearly straight, and my waist hardly marked! I have seen physiotherapists and chiropractors, but nothing much has changed. Now, my left ribs touch my hip. I do some yoga but can't do the exercises where I have to bend over my left side as it hurts. I am surprised to see that you do say to stretch both sides, regardless what side the curvature is on. I am going to try your exercises because they look interesting but... I'm not sure I'll do some of those on the left side. I am seeing an osteopath in a couple of weeks. Is there anything specific I could ask him? He will notice my scoliosis for sure! Thank you for your very interesting video.
Rule no 1 is don't do the exercises if they hurt. So listen to your body and don't do it both sides if it feels sore, or doesn't feel right
I had 33 degrees scoliosis and I wear body braces and decreased by 10 degrees but I stopped doing follow up check-ups and adjustments during covid cuz i was depressed and last week i had my check up and x-ray. Unfortunately, my scoliosis degree increased with no difference from before. I'm 17 and my doctor said that his final statement is my scolio wont improve anymore and it wont also worsen since i will have to live with having scoliosis forever since this is already my adult spine and it has already hardened. My heart dropped when i heard this and I regret for neglecting my health. I will have to live with drinking pain reliever pills. So today, i gathered my courage to search up exercises that will help me. Do i really have no hope now?
I've seen plenty of patients with 33° scoliosis or more with very little problems. If you're proactive, and keep your spine supple & flexible, using mobilising and stretching exercises, there's a very good chance you can live many years quite comfortably. Without the need for any painkillers.
Whatchaore videos and be your own doktor. Chiropractor will help too.
Just found you! I do a couple of these but knee rolls with feet on the ground so will try your version. I had a compressed wedge fracture at T8 then developed scoliosis shortly after 12 yrs ago. Now I'm 68 and now have S curve and hump ( grrr) I'm twisted and hope I can stop it getting worse. thanks
Sounds like you need to do gentle but regular mobilising exercises for your spine to keep it from stiffening up. Start gently though!
I have mild scoliosis and a problem in my hip. I had really awful pain that persisted for two weeks in the muscles alongside my spine, my butt and down my leg no matter how much massage and streching I did. Then I tried these exercises and the pain was reduced immediately after. I've been doing them for a couple of days. The pain is gone now. Thank you so much!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
Wow awesome. I have scoliosis from a head one car accident caused from 1 leg becoming 1 inch shorter. For 12 years I have had same symptoms. But getting my sole raised and custom made boot because my ankle was also shattered in over 30 pieces causing this incredible pain in the hip and the back sometimes down the side of my . So I look forward to trying these Exercises from reading your testimony. Thank you.
I am going to follow these exercise only because of u because i also have left hip pain and my left shoulder is up i also had a l4 l5 disc extrusion.btw how r u now
Can you tell which exercise you tried from this video i have the same problem
How do you strength your back without injury? I feeel it’s very difficult when your spine is not straight. What are the safe scoliosis exercises to do?
I had dorso-lumbar scoliosis since I was a child and I also wore a corset for a few years in my teens. Until recently my most prominent problem was a perpetually tight muscle near my left shoulder blade which often causes tingling in my hand and pain between my neck and shoulders, but over the past few years I have developed a much more annoying problem. It started with numbness in my lower back, which when it goes away leaves me with a not too strong but very annoying pain that often affects my left buttock and leg. Also I can walk for long distances without problems but standing still is often agonizing as my legs go numb and heavy and my lower back becomes heavy and sometimes slightly sore. According to my doctor I probably have sciatica from misaligned hips due to scoliosis, but I haven't had any tests yet to rule out a hernia or anything else. The exercises you showed were taught to me in the hospital years ago but since I have lower back and leg problems I'm a bit afraid to do them because I'm afraid they might worsen my condition, what do you recommend?
Numbness and heaviness are signs of nerve compression so I think the first thing that you should be doing is getting a MRI to check for spinal stenosis and disc protrusions. Numbness is not something to be taken lightly
A lot of yr exercises look like yoga, so thinking yoga can help? Thank you for your video 👍🏼
Yes, yoga is good for people with a scoliosis.
Thank you so much for your videos. Here’s hoping you will show modifications for the exercises on knees. I had two replaced knees,so this would be helpful. I’m 77.
Thank you for these exercises
You're so welcome!
I have daughter with curve ç Thanx the exercise😊
A pleasure. Glad to help
What exersice would you recommend for those whose left shoulder is a bit higher than the right one?
The cat is hilarious 😂 What do you think of the Schroth method for treating scoliosis? I developed scoliosis in childhood and I'm now 51. My upper back would always get tight due to the curvature, but after 40, I started hurting in my lower back too, especially when sitting for too long. I think it's coming from the SI joint because it hurts down in that area.
Schroth is probably the best bet to minimize the scoliosis when you are still growing (and bracing). But After your mid 20's the growth plates in the vertebrae are well are and truly closed, so the shapes of the vertebrae are fixed and can't be changed. Schroth might help a bit but it won't change the shape.
At 51 I'd be focusing on mobilising the joints with things like these exercises, to stop the joints from seizing up too much.
But keep in mind that what's happening in your low back now may have very little to do with the scoliosis. (For example, today in practise someone came in with a bad low back but her scoliosis was in her thoracic spine and the two were relatively unrelated.)
Try some of my lower back exercises. Actually I'll be updating them in the next couple of months. Good luck!
@@BodyFixExercises OK, thanks!
Yup, hips uneven, shoulders uneven, winged scapula. Not very tight or painful ever since starting the gym, but slightly limited in weightlifting mobility. Just that bench press, face pulls and weighted crunches make it feel like someone stabbed through the lower ribs/stomach/shoulder blade. Or perhaps pulled the chest. I guess it means things want to return to where they belong.
The sliding joints in the spine get distorted by scoliosis so perhaps that's what you feel

Wow! Thank you very much Teresa for the Super Thanks! You're very generous!
Do these exercises heal scoliosis completely, on the long term or just temporary pain relief? And how long should we do them? Wish I could know pls. Thank u.
No, they help to keep a scoliosis healthy. Exercises can't straighten a scoliosis in most cases
Thanks

Thank you.I will try all of this maybe my posture may improved
Good luck

You're welcome!

Which side of muscles are considered as tight and which are weak in scoliosis?
Tight outside of curve. And they are the ones that were usually want stronger too
What are the problems l will be facing soon as lm not young now with my painful scoliosis that you mentioned
Depends on many factors, including severity of curve and mobility you maintain. Muscle pain & some osteoarthritis are possible issues. But some people get no issues, especially if the curve is mild and they are flexible and active
Thankyou.l think l am getting this, so painful.
thank you man
No worries, Jonny
Thank
Pleasure!
Hello sir, I have lumber scoliosis ) like this. I have pain in below my right shoulder blade and rib area. Some times I feel difficulty in raising my right arm. Is this due to scoliosis . If please tell me some exercises to get rid of this pain.
I'm 20 years old and i have a middle spine scoliosis that causes uneven shoulders and general enevenness, should these exercises help get my spine back in place? And how many times a day should I do it?
Do them once a day. But, as I explained in the video, they will not normally straighten the spine
Thank you for sharing this videos and I am so grateful for you to help us a excellent exercise 🙏👍🍵
My pleasure, Miho!
I am glad to find this video: the exercise is easy to follow! I am surprised that these exercise are good for all types of scoliosis, no matter left curve or right curve. Is my understanding right? I thought we need scoliosis-specific exercise. I have subscribed your channel. If my understanding is right, I want to start doing these exercise regularly or daily. Thanks!
Yes you're right. There will always been more resistance to movement on the exterior of the curve, so it will naturally mobilise and strengthen on that side more. And there will always be shortening of muscles on the inside of the curve, so the exercises will naturally stretch that side more. So just doing them both sides works. The same for the levels, up and down the spine.
You'll just notice that one side is always a bit harder. And you'll feel that the point of maximum curve up the spine is the place you'll notice it more.
King Richard the 3rd had this problem. I wonder what exercises he did? ( I ask myself) I don't expect a answer. (I just realized that I asked a question while I was thinking)
It's pretty common actually
I have mild scoliosis. I don’t know if it’s congenital or anything like that. All I know is that it’s mild and it’s most likely what’s causing one of my shoulders to hang lower than the other one. And I’m not a fully-grown adult yet. Do you think by doing these exercises I could reverse the scoliosis? Thanks! 🙏
Unlikely, but if you're still growing it couldn't hurt to try. If it's more than mild, get it assessed by your doctor as it can progress as you grow
@@BodyFixExercises thanks. Also, do you think physical therapy could help fix my scoliosis? I’d hate to have to live like this 😭
Thx man~♥
Any time!
quick question, shouldn't we do exercises only in one direction to fix the curvature? If we go both left and right, isn't it just going to stay the same?
Is this exercise for every kind of scoliosis ??? Please answer me
Yes
gratidão parabéns felicidade
Obrigada!
I'm 18yr old,Will this exercise help in fix my scoliosis,Will this exercise help in increase my height.
Is it compulsory from both sides?? My doctor recommended me to bend towards the right side because my right shoulder and hips are higher than the left.
I recommend both sides
@@BodyFixExercises what's the logic in that? I think then it would be equal to doing nothing. 😑
prefect
Cheers
Would exercise 3 and 4 help my uneven ribcage from the front be more centered and look more normal overtime?
Hi Carson. Good question. The ribs actually change shape as you grow during your adolescent years (in people who have the most common form of scoliosis), so it's very unlikely that you can change that back. The exercises will mobilise the rib joints so that you get less symptoms associated with related rib joint restrictions.
I have mild functional scoliosis... . Can i do it???
Yes, you can do these exercises
sir my one side pelvic look more forward than other one
Should I continue to do this exercise I had been doing this exercise since 19 day
Sir I do heavy cycling in the morning daily to go college
Does it bad for me
Yes, continue. But understand that these exercises are not designed to straighten a scoliosis.
Cycling is fine. 👍
Sir , I have back pain while standing around 30 minutes pain started. Can’t work more time during sitting and standing. In MRI scan minor left convex lumbar scoliosis. Others normal. I had a history of fall on lower back 2 years back. Is this back pain caused by scoliosis? How to reduce this?
Is this also the reason of anterior pelvic tilt??
No
Do I have to do these exercises in this exact order?
No
can you do these with bulging disc?
Hello, I'm Italian and first of all I apologize for my bad English. A friend of mine introduced me to your lessons. I am 49 years old and have had 45 degree lumbar scoliosis since I was a teenager. In the last 2 years, also due to heavy physical activity assisting elderly parents and systemic connective tissue disease that is damaging my tissues, the scoliosis has increased to 69 degrees. It's associated with kyphosis, osteophytes, spondylosis and osteopenia. The physiatrist now prescribes me the corset to support the spine. Do you think this is a correct indication? Can your exercises benefit me in any way or do I risk doing worse? Thank you very much for the attention you'll kindly pay me and I really hope in your answer.
I think the corset is a good idea to help stop the progression ... in your case. You need to minimise more damage in the spine and stop the angle from getting worse.
It is hard to assess without examining your spine, but I think you should probably not wear the corset all day. Only to support you for part of the day. (The hardest part of the day.)
Definitely do exercises to mobilize and strengthen the spine and the muscles around the spine! (If you can do it without irritating your spine)
Parla un ottima inglese! English is my first language and I'm studying Italian currently and plan to learn Spanish next! You have very good English, keep learning!
How many time in a day we should do this
What about when you have a steel rod in please?
I'm sorry, but that is a very specific issue. If I gave you advice on that without knowing the full details I would be doing you a disservice.
Hello doctor, I watched your video and I have a question lately I have been having a pain the middle of my back when I wake up from a 6 hour sleep it goes away in about 30 minutes after i get out of bed I have tried different mattress but the problem is still there does it have something related to scoliosis??
The most likely is that you have done restricted joints in your back. Movement loosens them. A lack of movement, like sleeping at night, makes it worse.
Exercise to loosen the joints often are enough for this, but some cases need to see a chiropractor to loosen up the joints. If it persists though, get it checked by a doctor.
If it's in the mid back, try these...

If it's in the lower back try my low back exercises
@@BodyFixExercises thanks a lot for your reply
Hello doctor i have lumbar scoliosis.. which side should i strengthen the concave side or the other one?
Generally we need to strengthen the convex side. But if you do these exercises on both sides they will automatically strengthen the convex side more because there will be more resistance to the movement on that side
Hello..because of sleeping on one side for a long period i got a little right hump on my mid back ..can this exercise will help??
I would have to examine your spine to tell you for sure. Try these... ruclips.net/video/VpFBbxp67lE/видео.html

@@BodyFixExercises thanks sir ....too muchh ...your reply give me strength...I m so warried...about my future..
Sir it is idiopathic lumbar scoliosis..
Any advice for Hip Dips sir.
Hip Dips are part of normal pelvic anatomy. Exercise to reduce Hip Dips are very unlikely to help. You could try exercises to strengthen the outer gluteal muscle, like lateral leg raises, but I don't see a problem with Hip Dips.
i have thoracolumbar scoliosis i dont know if it is dextro or levo but my rib hump is on the right side yet the x ray shows i have 39° left c curve and 1.8cm lumbar (i forgot the term). could you enlighten me please and which is convex/concave and where should i stretch? thank you
I can't remember which kind of scoliosis you said I have but I do most of the exercises you mentioned in the video but I will start doing some of the other exercises you mention too so thank you! I am curious though, are these exercises good for people without scoliosis to do too?
Good question. Actually they are all good for general spinal health, so pretty much anyone would benefit from them.
Can someone has all this types of scoliosis?
Yes I do it's called double scoliosis
Usually when you have lumbar scoliosis your thoracic spine will try to adjust it that will lead thoracic to get curve also ;(
I did this for only 2 days and have 80% less pain. Triple Scoliosis, right shoulder high. Thanks Bro!!!!!

U say really
I have same problem. can we talk?
@@santorinopow5814 sure we can talk. Have you been at a rheuma-doctor and an xray of your spine taken? You need proper diagnosis in the first place.
Im76. As the years go by I’ve gotten shorten & it’s really hard to stand straight. My issues started at a very young age - less than a year old. My baby buggy fell down a steep flight of stairs. Feet turned under & start of back problems. Over the years I’ve had several other back injuries. Was 5.5 & now am 4.11. Chiro has helped some - therapy not much - & I refuse to let rods be put on my spine. Utube has recently had quite a few videos for scoliosis but yours seems to be one of the better ones and I’m going to be using 3 of the stretches .
Thank you for posting them. One is similar to one of the therapy exercises I do but a more advanced way of doing it. Old bones need a lot of care.
That's for sharing, Linda. Sounds like you need to be proactive. Good on you for looking after your spine
Thanks for these exercises. One of my shoulders is higher than the other, and I have lower back pain when I stand for any length of time. These exercises made me feel better immediately and I've decided to do them every day.
Sounds great!
Have your shoulders become normal now? I'm having similar prob

Thank you for those exercises and it's true they really do work. Strengthening your core muscles is so vital for overall improvement.

Most firms of scoliosis cannot be straightened with exercises
I'm 71 YO, Male, now retired and a sufferer of a number of Spinal Conditions including Dextroscoliosis of 25 degrees (up from 22 degrees in the past 10+ years). I have had a few doctor opinions about the cause (Idiopathioc). In 1966, at 15 yo, I fractured my right Femur playing HS Football (not Soccer). It took over 4 months for the healing process which included being in a full Body Cast for 10 weeks after 6 weeks in traction in the hospital. When the cast came off, the doctor was "surprised" to find that my right leg was 1 inch Shorter(the femur was shorter). Other than measuring both my parents' legs (finding my mother was 1/4" short on the right), he left that Unaddressed. After about 15 years, the lower back pains and stiffness started affecting me. It's been downhill ever since. The Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD) is my Ground ZERO, despite one doctor opining otherwise?? Now, I have OA in my spinal vertebrae & Facet Joints; Stenosis at various sites in the spine, DDD throughout, C3-C7 disc bulges & stenosis, T9, T10, L2 L3 and L5-S1 disc buges (and Sponylioethisis ) and OA in both Hips and Knees. I never hit the 8-10 Pain Markers, but generally around 4-6 (It Varies), with constant Stiffness and chronic pains daily. I have seen 6 different Spinal and Neuro Surgeons since 2018 - all said NO Surgery on the Lumbar spine , far too much Arthritis. Acpuncture did very litle to help with the Pains, 6 different Chiros including Upper Cervical Chiropractic did little to help after many sessions. Many people fail to realize that Stenosis and Scoliosic curves affect the Nerves which in turn contributes to a high Misery Index. I will try these exercises, but the Stiffness in my spine limits me. FWW, I have ben taking many supplements to combat the Inflammation, spending lots of $$$$$ in that effort. I learned a few months ago from my Pain Management Doctor that my initial Cervical MRI done in 2012, revealed that I have a More Narrow Than Normal Spinal Canal. Common Sense to this Layman would indicate that would be a contributing factor to the heightened Misery and Anxiety.
Man, that's quite the list, Aldo. I feel for you.
Sounds like you're best bet is gentle exercise, like the ones on this video, to mobilize the joints and loosen the muscles.
Start really gently, just do the exercises that feel good. Maybe try my lower back exercise video and one or two others too.
You might be surprised how much you can do for yourself.
Good luck.
I’m always looking for stretches and exercises on the internet that help scoliosis. I have AIS since 13, left lumbar curve, or Levoscoliosis. Here in the UK there are not many professionals with much knowledge of scoliosis.
These exercises are brilliant for keeping the back supple and flexible, which of course reduces pain.
Interestingly, I notice Usain Bolt has scoliosis too- lumbar and thoracic in an S shaped. He is the fastest man in the world and works hard on building up his back muscles so you can hardly tell he suffers from it. I wonder, I have started using the gym now at age 42, as I have looser stomach muscles from having children. Is it possible do you think to build up the concave muscles to reduce the rib hump and support the spine better?
It’s only recently my rib cage has started irritating me on the left side, it feels like something digging in sometimes, I wonder if it’s because my stomach muscles are not very strong?
Thank You for the videos, I’m so happy I found this channel to use!
The Schroth technique aims at reducing the curve and rib hump. You might have some luck with that, but it's more likely to help in teenagers, it's a lot of work, and I'm not convinced it can do much. The issue is that with AIS the bones change shape as you grow in the teenage years. Now that the bones have matured and formed their final shape (at 18 years old or so) you can't alter their shape.
The rib cage pain could be rib restriction, muscle tightness, or arthritic joint degeneration. The exercises on this video are the best I know to help with the first two. But do them on both sides. I don't really think working the abs will make much of a difference to your rib irritation.
This video may help too. ruclips.net/video/T8vKCXP7OSc/видео.html
Good luck!
Sir can these exercise fix my uneven shoulder, flared ribs which cause due to scoliosis
What are benefits of doing this exercise?
Sir I am very scared and this problem(scoliosis) depress me lot
Hence,I ask you these question.
Sur how can I correct/straighten my scoliosis
If I perform this exercise for long term will it correct my scoliosis
You can't straighten a scoliosis if the bones have changed shape
Mine is Thoracic so it felt amazing doing each if the stretches, I'm gonna continue these for a few days and let you know how it's going for me. My degree is 43.3 and I have a 15° in my neck, ;_; I use to have a third one but it's gone now :) I'm 19 years old but I'm not sure if it progressed or not since I haven't been able to find anyone to do xrays for me that will accept the card I have. Mom keeps saying I'll be fine but they diagnosed me with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, even though she keeps saying no but how would I not remember something this important to me when it's not important to her? Honestly. Thanks for sharing this video.❤
Good on you Ming
Yoo budy i have thoracic scoliosis too will you go under surgery or remain the way you are
Can these routines be applied to pedia? for my 9 yrs old daughter with scoliosis
Yes, but don't rely on these exercises to limit curve progression. If the curve is progressing you need to see a doctor.
Thanks a lot😊
I just went to the doctor because of horrible pain in all of my right side, front neck, arm rib cage hip and foot. He took an x ray and said that my scoliosis was mild with some rotation, about10 degrees. He said that my scoliosis cant be posisible causing all of those pains in my right side.... yet, he didnt find any other cause for my pain and said those pains are not related with each other!!!
I do not believe it.
What is your opinion.
Scoliosis predisposes you to spinal joint restriction and rib joint restriction. So I would say that in your case this is the likely cause of the pain
I am doing these and your other scoliosis exercises! I wonder if one of my leg is shorter also. Believe it or not, the doctor didnt check that or my rib with is sticking out as well as a hump in my right side of my back when i bend over... ever breathing this hurts my rib, back and chest😢
I work as a furniture refinisher, sanding and painting. Do I need to stop doing my job? Thanks doctor! I am sharing your videos with all of my friends.

Hello,I have lumbar scoliosis and I am 20 now.I got scoliosis when I was 11,but at that time I never knew about scoliosis and thought that it was just my bad posture,yesterday I visited the doctor and he told me that since I am an adult,surgery is the only treatment.I only have a small curve .Can these exercises help me to reduce my curve?Sir, please reply
I have functional scoliosis. Have had it for the past 7 months. I tried 3 physiotherapists. I'm on my 3rd and they are helping me improve my posture and strengthen muscles around it but I still get back pain when I have to walk to school with a heavy bag. Or help my parents move houses with furniture. And it's very expensive. There's been improvement but very little. Im now 16 years and 3 months old. My scoliosis was a cause of 3 previous lower back injuries and muscle imbalances and weightlifting strain being my bulged disc, bruised tail bone and then generally sore lower back muscles from the nervous systems' trauma. ------ My question: at what age will my spine stop growing? I have a short torso by the way. Also I haven't tried doing the back brace to straighten my spine but everyone tells me because mine is functional it shouldn't be addressed with a brace. I wish I could figure this out without it costing so much money and time
I’ve had a hard time figuring out why I was having pain around my ribs so often. But after being scanned by a chiro, it makes sense. I have a minor S shape scoliosis, and notice that my back muscles are always tight. Whether my pain comes from the muscle or cartilage, im not sure, but it seems that every time my spine gets Re-aligned, I feel significant improvements.
If you get relief from chiropractic you must have some restricted joints in there. Spinal or costovertebral joints. So some of these mobilising exercises should help too

Hello.my daughter was diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis shes 13yrs old.with 32 degrees.shes advice to take therapy and wear braces..is there any chance to decrease that curve if she do the therapy and wear brace?
Every case is different, so it's hard to say without examining her. If she has only just started growing it is more likely that you can influence the curves. If she has already done most of her growing it is harder. In most cases the aim is to stop it from curving more as she grows. You can look for a specialist in the Schroth technique, and they should be able to advise you on any bracing required too. Do what you can while she is still growing because her bones have not matured fully yet, but make sure you get professional advice for her specific case. Good luck!
Hi. My 3-year-old son has a scoliosis with Thoracic hemivertebra defects no12. How old can he start to do this exercise? And this exercise can help to get rid of scoliosis completely (or how much can improve)? Please give me advice. Thanks you so much and wish all luck & health to you.
I’m so grateful to have found your channel. I have learnt so much from your videos, easy to understand the underlying reasons, simple exercises to follow! Look forward to your upcoming videos!! :)
Hey SY C. I really appreciate the support and encouragement. Thank you very much.

Why is everything on the floor!!! Seniors with knee problems can't do any of these exercises. The bed is too soft. I don't even sleep in a bed because of hips. I have to sleep in a recliner to take pressure off my pelvis for other organ issues.
You can sit on your bum on the floor or use a yoga mat. When you sit down you lift one arm to the side and lean to the other side. Standing up is difficult for seniors but try. The cobra slowly increases flexibility instead if doing the cow exercise
People, scoliosis can be fixed. Maybe not when the curve is really bad, but there’s a man he manipulates the bone. I’ve chatted with him and he’s showed me how he’s done it. There’s people with curves and I’m not sure what he does but with his hands their spine gets less curved and becomes straighter.
I am 35 year old I have two children.... After few week I have severe pain m scoliosis please guide mee... My left shoulder is high... I have troubIe standing up straight and have been leaning forward.. I can not understand what should I do...
Can these help if i am 19 years old? My thorasic curve is 36.1°
They can help maintain good movement in the spine which is the secret to minimising the impact of a scoliosis. As long as they don't hurt, I would definitely recommend that you do them regularly
How can I increase my height if i have scoliosis
I am 18 yes old
Please help 🙏🙏
Hey Yashasvi. To increase your height you would need to change the shape of your bones, so I don't know of any way you could do that, sorry.
Mine is in Lumbar,I will start doing this exercise .from now on..thank you doc..
I found your job the most relevant and well-presented, thank you for that. I have mild Scoliosis between my shoulders, so my right shoulder is a little lower, and my right collarbone has more gap compared to the left side at the Sternoclavicular Joint (clicks with particular movements). I was wondering if the collarbone issue as I described is a common symptom in such a condition or not?
Differences in the SC joint is not something that is related to scoliosis. Or at least I've never noticed that, or read about it in relationship to Scoliosis
@@BodyFixExercises I appreciate your kind reply. Thanks Again.

I have scoliosis,very painful hip and my back! I do yoga,pilates cycling and i start weights ,my question is do I have anything to avoid just because the scoliosis? Thank you!
Most people can do anything. If you've got a very painful hip and back, you may have more inflammation or degeneration than normal, so just go easy the first time and see how your body responds
My right upper side between my spine and shoulder blade hurts every time I inhale/exhale deeply. Does anyone know what is causing the pain and how to fix it?
