There are many questions regarding exercise for scoliosis. What is the best scoliosis exercise? Are there certain exercise movements that need to be avoided if you have scoliosis? Which scoliosis exercise that would help improve scoliosis condition?Scoliosis is a condition of the spine that comes with lateral curvature and rotation of the spine, when the spine laterally curve and rotate, then it will cause muscles in the body to laterally curve and twist as well. Muscles that will get the effects of these twisted spine are both extrinsic as well as intrinsic involuntary muscles. The effect are imbalance of the left and right side of the body, brain and body lack of coordination, compensatory posture that affecting activity of daily living.Exercises that are involving rotation of the torso may required understanding and precaution to avoid worsening of the scoliosis curvature. As well as exercise that requires long distance running and jumping may also cause further compensation of the spine.The purpose of scoliosis exercises is to balance as well as strengthen posture and possibly correcting scoliosis curvature without going through invasive treatment such as spinal surgery. Scoliosis exercises has been done in European countries for many years. When these exercises designed as well as monitor by scoliosis expert, the improvement would be substantial. There are scoliosis exercise that effectively to stabilise the curve and there are exercises that enable to correct scoliosis curvature. Stabilizing scoliosis exercise programs for example are The Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (BSPTS), Dobomed, Functional Individual Therapy of Scoliosis (FITS), Methode Lyonaise, Pilates, Scientific Exercises Approach to Scoliosis (SEAS), Side Shift, Voita, Yoga for Scoliosis. These scoliosis exercise programs are design to stabilise scoliosis as well as posture.Scoliosis corrective exercise are program to help reduce the scoliosis curvature of the spine. Corrective exercise are CLEAR scoliosis Institute corrective exercises and Schroth method.CLEAR Institute exercises are divided into 3 phases of Mix-Fix-Set. Mix is increasing spine and intrinsic involuntary muscles flexibility, Fix is specific spinal alignment based of a 3 dimensional X-rays, and Set is specific Sensory Motor Re-integration to change brain and body coordination and correcting its posture.Schroth method is using isometric and breathing exercises to reshape the rib cage and de-rotate the spine. Its function is to reduce progression of scoliosis and reverse the curve. Unfortunately this method has shown difficulty in applying the complex maneuvers and it is hard to perform as home exercises. Scoliosis exercise purpose is to balance, improving flexibility, strengthen deep core muscles and changing body biomechanics to reach improvement of the scoliosis curvature . This can be achieved by customised scoliosis exercise from your scoliosis expert at All Well Scoliosis Centre.
