“Is physical therapy effective for scoliosis?”

Yes especially initial stage . Accurate exercise can slow down disease progression and effectively control posture and improve function

Hi. It depends on your definition of "effective". Disclaimer: there is a special certification of education that specifically treats scoliosis. You could look into a PT who specializes in Schroth Method. A general orthopedic PT can help guide you on a mobility and strength program to manage symptoms and keep your body moving well. However, in my experience (and I am not certified in Schroth Method), I have not seen physical therapy to 'correct' the curvature of a scoliotic spine. I treat the individual's symptoms and complaints and help them achieve their functional goals, despite their anatomy.
