Managing Scoliosis

The attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with sound mind, fully capable of naturally performing our many daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure. J. Pilates

While exercise may not be a primary cure for scoliosis, it can certainly be very helpful when it comes to conditioning the body to deal with the effects of scoliosis. Exercise for people with scoliosis will strengthen back muscles, which can be very helpful in preventing, as well as relieving, back pain frequently associated with the condition. It will also help to maintain good posture, which is very important for scoliosis patients because it can decrease the chance of scoliosis returning after successful treatment.
