Depending on your angle of scoliosis you have different options. First find out what your angle is then see the various options. Swimming is very good exercise for people who have scoliosis but other options are available
As you probably know, once a person with scoliosis grows to full stature, nobody is going to straighten out the spine, short of surgical insertion of Harrington Rods. Regular chiropractic care can reduce the symptoms, making the parts you have work the best they can, and is safer than either pain pills or surgery.

Depends on magnitude of curves and location.Strengthening and flexibility exercises as well as bracing are good starting considerations.
