Yes, but you must do exercises that will strengthen not inflame the curvature.
Yes. You can go to the gym if you have scoliosis. The question is what is your degree of curvature? Are you managing your scoliosis effectively so that certain movements will not exasperate the discomfort? How old are you? Scoliosis can be just about completely fixed if the growth plates have not closed yet. Meaning if my patient is 11 years old I can adjust the spine and correct the curvature because the patient is still growing.
short answer yes. Long answer: the more you move the better, but the individual bones need to move freely as well or they can wear out and become a problem.
