“What exercises are best for scoliosis?”

There are several exercises that can help manage scoliosis by improving flexibility, strength, and posture. It’s important to perform these exercises correctly and consistently. Consulting with a physical therapist can ensure you’re doing them safely and effectively.

Core and postural exercises are a great way to improve alignment and stabilization for scoliosis. Depending on the severity of the scoliosis, you may need to see a physical therapist to get specific exercises assigned to best suit your needs.

None! Exercise of any kinds including stretching and strengthening is a wrong thing to do to scoliosis. Scoliosis is derived from soft tissue injury (muscle/fascia strain) which tightens to cause postural changes (kyphosis, scoliosis, thoracic hump). Exercises can only irritate the injured tissue and worsen the condition. To resolve scoliosis and restore normal posture, the tightened tissue must be released by light touch, i.e., Touch-and-Hold of The Precision Method to internally initiate self-healing, but NEVER by exercises.
