    I have no words thank you but I would want to tell you. From my school days I use to get pain on my right shoulder I never understood why and I grew up with that when I turned 18 started working out not knowing I have scoliosis everyone uses to tell me I did so thing wrong in the gym that's why I have this issue but now 3 days back in my MRI report it came I have scolioses. From the last 1.5 years, my back pain started I never had this issue n now it is intense. I have an issue in sleeping now too. Thank you so much im looking to forwarded everything you say seriously. I saw lots of videos but only you made the sense out of it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    I have never been diagnosed with scoliosis (I'm 38 years old) but a few years ago I had an acute back episode. Since then I have been very "aware" of the things going on in my spine. I have been in physical therapy for my back (I lacked a great deal of functional rotation) and no one observed or mentioned scoliosis. Lately, I've been with a trainer for which I do weekly check ins with pictures. I noticed that my waistline on the right is more hourglass while the left side is straighter. I filmed my self doing the bend over test and while I look level through the thoracic spine my left lumbar area set up a bit higher than the left. In one picture however my left shoulder set up higher while the right sloped downward some. Im self diagnosing but Im guessing I have a left lumbar curve as well. Im hoping mine however is partly due to muscle imbalances and previous injury as I had no obvious history of it before. Nor have any doctors or physical therapists made comment about possible scoliosis. I have been checked for leg length discrepency and everything looks level. I have had severe muscle spasms in my left side though compared to right.
    I would assume what is needed is to open up the right side (say a lateral stretch to the left) and anything like a foam roll or bolster to lay over- left side lying to passively open up the right side and push in the left side? Does that sound about right?

      @MoveWithScoliosis  6 лет назад

      Hi and sorry for the late reply! I completely missed your comment. There is a difference between a functional scoliosis (due to for example overuse of muscles for years on one side) and a structural scoliosis (where the bones have actually changed shape. The good thing with a functional scoliosis is that it's much easier to work with and you can see improvements quickly! I would get it properly diagnosed by a doctor or maybe even just talk to a physical therapist. Lateral opening sounds as if it might be beneficial for you. Probably on both sides from what you say.

      Have a little browse around this channel! It might not be anything to worry about but of course getting a diagnosis like that is always concerning! As you're an adult doctors are not very concerned about it as it's during growth where it can get worse. It's more about managing the discomfort if you get any.

    • @MoveWithScoliosis
      @MoveWithScoliosis  6 лет назад

      Anything is possible really with scoliosis. It depends on where the rotation is and also you might have a slight compensating curve in the cervical spine? Also are your legs the same length? There are lots of different factors. I kind of went through the "typical" pattern in the video but there are many others...

    I am 41 and was diagnosed last Friday (Jan 25,2022) with scoliosis, the doctor did not specify what kind but my chiropractor showed me my x-rays on Monday which shows right lumbar scoliosis. My entire left side is drooped down and I am pretty slumped to the left side. I've been doing yoga for awhile now and came across your videos which have been helping while I'm at home. I'm in such excruciating pain and discomfort, I cannot sit without tears 😢. My spine also shows a twist in the vertebrate and I was born with spinal stenosis and have bulging discs in my L4/L5. Chiropractor also said there looks to be some degeneration. From my mid back down to my tailbone and to my feet all I feel is fire and shooting pain which is really messing with me. I also work on my feet but have time off till Monday coming up.
    Any suggestions on what else I should do? Please do not suggest an appointment with you. I'm currently paying off a 2200$ bill from having my car fixed recently 😕

    Hi I was diagnosed in 2013 with left convexity scoliosis, with that, they also said I had Degenerative Disc Disease, Haemangiomas on my Vertebra at the thoracic which they said are tumors, they said I had Osteoarthritis I was 37 yrs old I had another MRI in 2017 which detected more degenerative issues 2020 my latest MRI shows a huge change I now have Spinal Stenosis, Bulging discs left side and disc lesions, Osteoarthritis, DDD, Tumors, Further degeneration in my Spine. I am in excruciating pain I have had nerve blocks, spinal blocks but unfortunately, in 2019 I had a major operation for Prolapses Bladder and Uterus I had a hysterectomy and few repairs I was also diagnosed with a Tachycardia heart. I have Chondromalacia patella in my right knee. I have not started with extreme pain in my neck left side, I get paralysis some nights lose the feeling in my hands, arms, legs, feet. I am crooked my alignment is out I don't need to do anything it is noticeable especially with no top on. My hips hurt my lumbar itches and burns I can't walk very far or stand up for long, sitting hurts sleeping I have a memory foam cushion between my knees I can't lie on the left side I sleep on my back, mostly. I am being referred to a Musculoskeletal specialist and back to Pain management as the morphine patches are not helping and with my other meds on top. I have been told there is no cure and that I will end up in a wheelchair. I was knocked down when I was 10 a car reversed into me and knocked me front impact into a fence and ran over me I fractured my Femur, my ankle and ruptured my spine I was 2-3 cm off from being paralysed from the waist down. I have been in pain all my life but as I have got older things progressed and it wasn't until 2013 that I found out why. Exercise puts me in so much pain I struggle to move the next day for a week or two. Is Left Convexity bad as I have read Levoscoliosis is dangerous?

    • @MoveWithScoliosis
      @MoveWithScoliosis  5 лет назад

      Yes the poses would be the same. Structural means that the bones themselves are shaped differently and create the curve. The muscles around the bones will adapt eventually and they can contribute to making is worse but they can also act as support system to prevent the curve from getting worse or making it better!

      muscles can be short and tight and they can be long and tight! So really both sides need to be able to release. We strengthen the convex side more than the concave side but if you feel strengthening at this stage would just make it worse start with releasing. Here is a good one to start with ruclips.net/video/7iRaig6h1Bo/видео.html

    I was diagnosed with mild curvature of the spine to the left and the left waist is curved. My doctor saidI did not have to undergo a physical therapy because the curvature is only 10 degrees. What exercise do I need to do?
