No, your scoliosis won't get worse from bending down. General exercise is the best long term solution for most scoliotic postures, find a PT near you.
Also, Usain Bolt has scoliosis and is one of, if not the, fastest runner in the world and doesn't seem to complain of pains, that can be you too; maybe not the fastest runner, but pain isn't required!

The progression of scoliosis is not typically affected by your activity. Physical therapy can be very helpful for the back pain aspect of things, but depending on the degree of curvature in your spine, your orthopedic surgeon may have bracing or other recommendations.
Scoliosis progression can be attributed to poor posture. It is important to continue to continue to be active and do your daily activities, however, be mindful of your posture. Please see a PT in your area so you can get information and training on maintaining proper body posture.
Hi, no it will not progress due to bending repetitively. You should be working with a physical therapist to strengthen and stretch specific muscles in your spine and torso to help minimize pain. Message me at 903-751-5499 if you have any more questions.
