Warning: Following his video for your scoliosis might not help you!
You have to consider many factors before trying to correct a scoliosis. For example, how old are you, what degrees do you have (this method works best under 40 degrees), what is happening in the rest of your body that could be making your scoliosis worse?

[@IcarusII3]

I've had scoliosis from a young age and it was first noticed when I was around 10. My scoliosis was very severe and the doctors were wanting me to have surgery right away but thankfully my parents looked for an alternative route. After tons of research and different things I tried such as back braces, electro-therapy, and other chiropractic methods. We finally found a upper cervical chiropractor who does the Blaire Palmer method. Their method is based on the fact that if a vertebra in your neck gets misaligned, interference can occur to the nerve transmissions anywhere in your body, which can cause pain in your lower back, knees, scoliosis etc. You may notice a pain in your neck at first, but years later the pain in your lower back can be a result of this, and no amount of surgeries or physical therapy, although they can provide temporary help, will correct the underlying problem. So they seek to analyze and correct misalignments in your neck (mainly atlas) so that your body's nerve transmissions can flow properly and you heal yourself. When I was born my mom distinctly remembered that the doctor had to turn my head in weird way and she believes may have put my atlas out of place and that was probably what contributed to my body developing scoliosis. I've been getting my atlas adjusted for 20 years now and I've almost never struggled with any pain in my back and do not have issues with misaligned hips or things like that. I've just recently started taking exercises more seriously to help correct the curve however many people who go to the blaire palmer chiropractors have corrected their scoliosis through adjustments alone. However, because mine was so severe, I've had to implement stretching and other exercise in order to correct it but the adjustments alone prevented it from getting any worse. These exercises are great and very helpful but I do recommend anyone who struggles with scoliosis or other ongoing back issues to look into upper cervical chiropractors who do the blaire plamer method. I just want to share what I've learned and experienced over the last 20 years.

[@sscapion2650]

[@IcarusII3]

@@sscapion2650 Hi there, here's a link that may lead you in the right direction: blairchiropractic.com/blair-chiropractic-technique/ just so you know not every upper cervical chiropractor performs the blair palmer method so just verify when looking for a chiropractor that they do the blair palmer. It really does make a difference. My mom tried going to a upper cervical chiropractor (she moved away from the one we had) but he did not do the blair palmer method so it was not the same effect.

[@IcarusII3]

@@tayyaba1490 Hi, I'm not an expert in stretching and it depends on how your curve is, however, I do recommend targeted stretches like the one in this video, or Pilates moves or yoga moves. Pilates is very good because it incorporates stretching with core strengthening which is very important. Kind of like how he explains in this video, you want to build strength in the area opposite to your curve in order to sort of 'pull' your spine back to where it should be. I find the stretching where you lay straight out on your stomach and lift yourself up toward the ceiling as well as the stretch where you have your legs folded in underneath your stomach and face down toward the ground with your arm stretched forward above your head and stretching straight and also veering towards the sides to be very helpful for me

Someone asked if this really works. Until I came across this video, my scoliosis pain had been getting progressively worse, so that I couldn't go shopping or any other outings without undergoing intense and excruciating pain. I wasn't sure which way the scoliosis bent, but I couldn't bend right without pain, so I concluded that it must be a left bent, since that would increase pressure when I bent right. I did the exercises as described, several times and felt such relief of pain, I had no hesitation about doing more repetitions. I have been doing them now for four days, along with hip bursitis exercise, since that had developed also. I have been unable for a year to function without a back brace because of the pain, but today I have not been wearing it at all and doing my normal routine without pain, without pain, praise the Lord. Once an hour or so, I do the routine, which takes only a few minutes, and the intense muscle spasms I had been suffering have stopped. It's hard to believe, and I hope the result continues. I have hope I can go out again without fear of horrible pain overwhelming me. Thank you for this information. Bless you for sharing it on KZbin.

[@izzyv.6169]

I have a very mild scoliosis, not severe enough to perform surgery or anything on, but it was still uncomfortable and it made me self conscious. This video helped a lot, it is significantly less, and it feels way better. Recommend anyone with mild scoliosis to try this.

God bless osteopathic physicians. You guys are the only helpful doctors out there. The real deal. Thank you so much for this fantastic video.

[@ListenToYourGut1st]

Awesome video!! I was diagnosed with an S-curve at age 12. In my 20's I began treating it with advanced yoga, Yamuna body rolling, craniosacral, myofascial and osteopathic treatment. By age 45 my lower spine is completely straight and my upper is only 1" off center. These exercises look excellent. But what I would add is to combine them with loosening and stretching exercises - even between sets - otherwise you may see an increase in pain. I think you also need to mobilize or "unstick" the vertebrae, since most will have entire sections that are "fused" together and just move in a block - another thing that will prevent these exercises from having their full, desired effect. Just my thoughts. Thanks for sharing and I'll pass this along.

So again, thank you!

Hi KZbinrs. I am an osteopath ( 24 yrs experience ) and have just watched this video. It is clear, short and, imho, very good. I happen to have a mid 20s female patient who, coincidentally, has the exact scoliosis that Ed P is describing above. Her 2nd treatment is this week. I will be going through this video with her and encouraging her to do these exercises daily for the next 30+ years. One thing that people should realise is, very often, these bends of the spine CANNOT be totally corrected: they can often be improved to a certain degree but MOST IMPORTANTLY, they can be stopped from becoming worse. If people have reasonable expectations from the get go, they will end up not being too disappointed. Nice one Ed...great vid. :-)

[@EdPaget]

Thank you Jonny, I appreciate that. And you’re right in adults it’s more about slowing or stopping the progression, and in teens it can be about correcting it, but each case is different.

[@EdPaget]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

[@vijayksrinivasan]

This is an excellent and useful video. I have got into this problem twice in the last two years and fought my way out using these exercises. I am glad I saved it to my favorites the first time I got into this problem. Note for other patients: 1. pain killers and muscle relaxants help. But don't overuse those. 2. To get out of this crooked shape, loosen your body with stretching. Progress bit by bit. 3. When I took rest, I lied down on floor with my legs extended against the wall with my glutes close by the wall. That helped stretch my glutes. At other times, I lied down flat on the floor without any pillow. If you had been doing a desk job working long hours to get into this problem, you will find it difficult to lie down on the floor with your legs stretched. But this is exactly what you need. And lastly, when you get out of this problem, remember to never fall into this problem again. Exercise regularly. Prevention is better than cure.

Hi. ..whats your age ? I am currently 33...will these stretches going to work in this age ?

[@vijayksrinivasan]

This will work regardless of your age. These exercise \ stretches undo the mistake you did in the first place. The second time, I got into this, I tried the exercises the entire day in full pain. And you will get your mobility slowly and the freedom from pain. The whole process can take 3 days to be 80% pain free.

[@mightypenguin4559]

vijay how bad was your curve, and how much time did it take to heal?

[@vijayksrinivasan]

It was terrible that I could but move an inch. turning any direction was severely pinching my nerves. one week to recovery 90 or 95%. I took 3 days off when I did these exercises throughout the day. I worked from home the next two days partially working and partially exercising. Now more than a year from that incident, my back is its peak performance ever. This is because I am practicing Surya Kriya. This is a fantastic whole body exercise that I learnt from Isha Institute of Inner Science, Tennessee. Doing it consistently is the key. You can't learn it now when you are in pain. Follow this video to get it off the sidewise S curve... and then when you are normal join that Surya Kriya class near your home.

I'm a Physiotheraphist and that really helped me to understand better off mechanism of scoliosis

[@EdPaget]

Great news. I find that scoliosis management is not taught well in most manual therapy courses, chiropractic, physiotherapy, osteopathy included. If you want to see how I teach it go to scoliosispro.com

[@CanadianMang]

Amazing video. Well spoken, no time wasted. Very helpful thank you.

[@nfigueroa808]

Great, I think if I do these every day my spine will get back where it belongs. Thank you. The chiropractic dr wasn't working because they don't tell me about physical therapy. Thank you.

[@EdPaget]

Nita Figueroa yes that is very common with a lot of hands on therapy, not just chiropractic.

[@c492]

These exercises were difficult for me. I had to listen multiple times and draw and redraw pictures, but I believe they are some of the best.

[@EdPaget]

Evey Siu thank you.

[@mikecgiardino]

Hey! It's awesome seeing videos like this, amongst all the others. I know when I was first diagnosed with scoliosis and I visited the physiotherapist who was recommended to me, they didn't treat it seriously at all, was no help, and turned me off from going to physio for this, which would have been a good idea at the time (10 years ago). I have a mild idiopathic scoliosis, most likely from bad sitting/lifting/posture habits as a teenager during growth spurts. I've done the stretch in this video periodically over the past few years and am at the gym 5x a week bodybuilding and stretching (I've worked hard to try and cover up my imbalances). However, I've always stopped your exercises after about two weeks. When I reach the two-week mark of doing these exercises daily, I always notice that my rotation gets worse. My lower ribcage on the right side begins protruding in the front even more than before. That is, the lower back left rotation seems to continue rotating left, getting worse. (I've had x-rays done and the curve in your video is identical to mine - my upper left rib cage/pec protrudes, while my lower right ribcage protrudes). Now, whenever I do the exercises my lower back starts to feel amazing as it's most likely opening up the area, releasing tension, and activating those seldom used muscles. So, my question is, in your experience, is this one of those things that may get worse before it gets better, as my spine, ribcage and pelvis work themselves out? I should also note that when I'm consistently doing the exercises I can definitely feel subtle changes/movements in my upper back/shoulder area as well as lower back. I'm just worried that it might be making things worse rather than correcting. I'm sure it's the latter.

[@user-qb7kw6pn4z]

Let me know if you find out, since I have an identical problem myself.

[@systematic3550]

hello so is it good or bad

[@xhuliaz4698]

This is the most scientific explanation that I have found on the internet. Makes perfect sense. Thank you so so much. I have only one question. I have a mild scoliosis, just like the curve you showed, around 10 degrees. I understood that the exercises you show here must take around 15 min daily. Is it recommended I do more than that in a day though? I have searched and found other types of exercises that I can do beside these in a day, but I don't know what is the optimal way of following along.

[@EdPaget]

There is no set answer to your question. Optimal for you might not be optimal for someone else you could add more slowly and see what happens.

[@rajeevkulariya6101]

Sure helped me to understand my scoliosis...very useful video.

[@eagandolan2631]

I’m just blown away rightnow.. this worked for me!!

[@otoko7306]

[@ItsNishaLaurenWest]

This does relieve pain but u have to keep doing it everytime I stop doing this exercise for a long period of time the pain comes back

[@stephaniesmith8840]

To everyone here, please don't just jump right into doing these exercises exactly as described here. It's possible your spine could be curved or rotated the opposite direction than the example shown in the video and if you do the stretches the wrong way you can do more harm than good. Go to a chiropractor and ask for an xray to see if your spine has problems. Most chiropractors aren't that expensive even without insurance. The one I went to was $50 for a visit with xray, $20 for a visit without an xray. When shown your xray, take a picture of it on your phone for your own reference and base your exercises around how YOUR spine is having problems. The chiropractor can also do adjustments and massages and show you stretches to help correct your condition if it is indeed something that can be improved without surgery.

[@muhammadikramsadiq3610]

yes

[@YourLifestyleIsYourMedicine]

+Teglas Arnold These exercises don't generally cause pain. Try decreasing the size of the movements and focusing on great technique or form. Really focus the movement to target the area where there is the apex of your curves.

[@QuietStorrm860]

+Ed Paget I have the exact same scoliosis curves shown in the video, except that (looking from the back) my right hip is lower than my left hip. Does that mean instead of doing right foot forward left foot back onto a elevated platform..I'm suppose to do right foot forward and left back onto a lower platform?

[@elijahmaeabad2795]

+TeglasArnold me too.. i want to correct my spine but i'm scared it might get worst :( everyday when i wake up my back hurts. is that because of my sleeping position? i'm so confuse :(

[@elijahmaeabad2795]

[@TheRobsTV1]

Thank you very much for this video my friend! I did them tonight before going to bed, and I felt some relief on my back, I had been struck with my back feeling weird for the last couple of years, I went to the doctor and surprise I had scoliosis, I was unaware of this i was surprised cause I worked out a lot my highschool years even did parkour never a problem (I am now 25) again thanks very much!

Sir you have the most "Yeah man, shit happens, here's the solution" kinda energy ever haha I felt very at ease while watching this video, I didn't feel like there's something wrong with me. I felt very understood. I used to be a taekwondo player and then suddenly I found out I had this thing going on, the doctors told me they had no idea what was causing it to happen. I left taekwondo a while back and I've been trying to find ways to help this become atleast better. Thank you so much for the video, you explained it so easily and simply.

I have started these today and plan to do them everyday. I have had x-rays done 1 year apart, with slight improvement of the neck curvature after many visits to the chiropractor, but not much improvement with the scoliosis and rotation. I will update here in a year, when I'll get more x-rays to check if this has helped improve the alignment of my spine ✌🏻
