SCOLIOSIS back pain RELIEF! | Best exercises for scoliosis spine

Scoliosis is the word that is used to describe a curvature of the spine. In some cases, this curve can result in back discomfort and pain. Fortunately, there’s a lot that the rights stretches and exercises can do to mitigate this pain and help you to feel better. Today I am sharing with you 10 of my best stretches and exercises to minimize the curve in your spine and help you to feel better.

[The principles I’m going to outline in this video are VERY general and include effective stretches and exercises that will benefit MOST people. PLEASE NOTE - I am, in NO WAY, claiming to heal your scoliosis with exercises. In many cases this is a structural or postural issue and, in severe cases, requires much more aggressive treatment. These exercises, however, should help to DECREASE THE PAIN you may be experiencing as a result of your scoliosis problem.]
*As always you are encouraged to consult a local medical professional to determine an individualized plan of care that will be best for your unique circumstances. That said, if anything I demonstrate is painful or uncomfortable to you please stop and consult your medical professional.*
Most people have at least some degree of curve in their spines. This is due to many factors including how we sit/stand to which hand is our dominant side. While some degree of scoliosis is normal and expected, too much curvature in your spine can be painful and limiting.
Scoliosis is usually diagnosed by your doctor, physical therapist, or chiropractor. These healthcare professionals can tell you if you have this curve to your spine and whether or not it’s significant enough to warrant treatment.
Whenever we see scoliosis, it typically presents in a “C-curve” or an “S-curve” depending on the areas affected. These are simply named after the way the curve presents - one curve manifests as a letter “C” as viewed from behind (typically seen in the upper back) while two curves appear to look like a letter “S” (typically manifest as a curve one way in the lower back and the other way in the upper back).
While the presentation for each of these conditions is a little different, the treatment is essentially the same. Treating this condition is solely dependent on one principle - that of soft tissue adaptation. The soft tissue in your body adapts directly to the stresses (or lack thereof) placed on it. That means we can stretch out areas that are tight and we can tighten up (via strength training) areas that are weak.
When treating scoliosis, the muscles and tissue on the convex side of the curve are typically stretched in a lengthened position. A long muscle is typically a loose muscle and therefore we need to “tighten” - or strengthen - this side. Conversely, the muscles in the concavity are shortened and tight. Therefore - a typical course of treatment would be to stretch out these areas.
Stretch where it’s tight (concavity) and strengthen where it’s weak (convexity) and you should see some really good progress.
One more note - scoliosis doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a long time and a lot of consistency to develop a scoliotic curvature and therefore it can be presumed that it takes a long time and a lot of consistency to get rid of this curvature as well. I typically tell people that it will take 8-12 weeks of consistent work to start to minimize the effects of scoliosis on their spine.
Please keep in mind - how you FEEL is infinitely more important than what you SEE. Often the effects of these exercises are manifest as decreased pain/discomfort long before you see their effects on the curvature of your spine. You need to stay consistent (perform these everyday; if not 4-5 times/week) and be patient, but in the end results should come.

Hi I have scoliosis..I am in my 60's..have recently had severe pain across hip area..pinched sciatica right side..recently started yoga exercises.. anti inflammatory tablets..hot cold heat packs..got me on my feet again..on looking at my back in a mirror I realized I have a lot of fat sitting on my right torso side and over hip area..this is where the pain area is..obviously that excess weight must be a part of my problem..how do I get rid of this excess fat on one side..can u recommend specific exercise for this at all?..much appreciated

[@nancyzi5722]

Hi Doc, so I have been doing this vid every night for the past week but on a couple of them only 10 reps or twenty. I can’t believe the difference it is making in my life, I have been able to complete my morning two mile walk without breaking into a limp or having to cut it short due to hip pain and foot pain. The pain is there, but less of it and bearable. I had surgery on my left foot about 4-5 years ago and it was after that that the hip began to hurt and my fused second toe has just become terribly painful and I have always been a hiking walking , multiple dogs, need to move kind of person. Even after 5 mos of pt, I haven’t improved like I have this week. Idk, but this version really is doing something for me so I’m going to keep on this particular set for awhile and I’ll keep you posted.....thanks so much, please keep it up.....

[@toneandtighten]

You are welcome, nancy zi! Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am so glad you are finding relief through these exercises!

[@IrishRushandSmiling]

Thank you so much for this video. I've been to a DC, a Physical Therapist and an Osteopath. The Osteopath shared only 1 stretch to help my curve and you shared that also. The DC didn't show me any and the Physical Therapist has shown me more than I can recall so I REALLY needed this video. WIsh you lived here in Maine. May God bless you abundantly for those you help and who suffer with this painful condition. Can you tell me if there is hope for Scoliosis to be completely corrected for someone who is internally healthy, and a vegetarian, but almost 72 yrs old.

Thanx a ton and God bless you my dear. I have been diagnosed lately and it was overwhelming but your video and the detailed info is encouraging and assuring. Some of them are in our yoga programs like the cat and camel pose and the others seem specific to the curvature. I have not been able to find out whether it is left or to the right side but I intend starting on both sides to strengthen my back on the whole. After trying I will send the changes but am sure undoubtedly it will enormously help anyone especially the seniors.

I kept being told I needed to strengthen the R glute medius but this makes much more sense for my particular case. I can already walk with much less pain today and will continue to follow this routine!

Tony Chavez I am! Actually started eating a lot of meat and consistent healthy food, stretching every morning sometimes evenings, and consciously using my “weak” side of my body. Standing on the less favored leg and using my weaker side of upper body at work. Definitely feel a lot better than I did 2mo ago.

@@Range-X - going at it intelligently I see! I'm just being introduced to the carnivore diet myself. Going for the grass fed beef, although haven't yet incorporated any physical exercise. Wanted to begin some where. Didn't think you'd respond. Was I wrong! Going to do this after my shower. Grace and peace.

[@Range-X]

Tony Chavez haha peace be with you! Yeah just the change in diet alone improved a lot of things for me. Cant afford to eat steak all the time but lean ground, chicken, and the occasional fish are 10x better than the burgers and fast food I was eating. Hope your pain goes away!

[@laurentc5453]

I like the first part of the video that addresses lower back [right stiffness]. But at 7:40 you do an exercise that would correct a C-Shape scoliosis. If you have an S-Shape scoliosis you can actually make it worse because you would need the stretch in the other side instead.

[@nisz_zzz]

So these exercises are not good for s-shapes?

[@toneandtighten]

Well it’s such a condensed version of what I have learned in PT, but soo effective and doable at the end of long days. I’m 67 and still cranking 2-4 massages per day . Been an lmt for 33 years. So at the end of the day when I think I can’t do one more thing, I watch and do one of your vids. But this one is particularly excellent....

[@kellyseal2882]

I am a massage therapist and see Scoliosis in my clients all the time. They are often not aware of their condition and contribute their discomfort to stress or working at a desk. My strategy during the session is to stretch the concave side using myofascial techniques and trigger point therapy on the extended weekend side. In terms of self care after the session, I suggest your exercises or send the link to your posting. It has proven to be the winning combination of body work and your video clips. BTW I would never recommend any exercise unless I practice them myself. I perform these exercises and know they work. Whether you have scoliosis or not it’s good to keep the back strong and supple.

Very good information ,. ave a question aren't the muscles on the concave side more stretched and the convex side shortened ? I have a convex on right and my ortho says my right muscles are stronger and hence pulling the spine towards right , left muscles are weaker and hence giving up . So i have to strengthen my left and stretch my right . Its seems exactly opposite to what you said . Could someone please shed some light on this ?

[@minas.a.4393]

This is awesome thanks! One quick question, viewing from the back, my right pelvis is elevated, shifting my lower spine to the left which then causes my upper spine to shift to the right. My left hip is also tight, meaning it will not externally rotate as much as the right. I usually get right low back pain and ALWAYS feel crooked 😢 I have been trying to fix this with left hip stretches and strengthening but no luck, and I am worried I might be damaging my left hip even more. Any suggestions?

[@pammeyers9855]

[@hedgewitch59]

[@justiceisillusion5434]

Thank you so so much for helping people. Your videos are really very informative. Now I have two questions please, if you could. I have recently experienced pain of Sciatica and followed the exercises in your videos and few others from professional channels as well. The result is really good & very noticeable. Q.1- How long should one keep doing those exercises after total relieve of pain. 2 - I n the past, around 3 physiotherapists brought to my attention that my hips look horizontally imbalanced; i.e the right side is further toward the front or twisted to the front. I mean as people look at me from the front side.. Does this case have any future negative outcomes please. Thanks again

[@toneandtighten]

Hi Justice is Illusion! Thank you so much for your kind comment; I'm glad the things I demonstrated are helping! Continue with the exercises as long as they're beneficial ... 6-8 weeks if necessary. The hip issue COULD be a problem, but not always. You can try exercises for "SI Joint Dysfunction" (unfortunately I don't have an SI joint video up yet... sometime soon!). Good luck!

Hi Justice is Illusion! I’d like to add to the great information given here by Tone and Tighten. Regarding Q.1 - if you have had sciatic issues, consider the cause...was it a specific one time injury? Or is the cause from a repetitive motion that your doing at work? If it was from an injury and you are totally pain free, then you can do your exercises as Tone and Tighten recommends 👍🏻😊. If the cause of your sciatic was something that you do repetitively, and is part of your lifestyle (work, sport, hobbies), then I would suggest you incorporate that specific exercise into a short daily routine for PREVENTION of the sciatic issue returning. Q.2 - Imbalances can always have a possibility of a negative effect on the body. Most of us have imbalances, we just try to minimize them. Imbalances mean that one area is usually weaker and one area may be tighter (not necessarily strong). This could lead to other areas of your body becoming the “point of weakness” (kinda like the straw that breaks the camels back). So with your pelvis being forward on one side, it could lead to low back problems, issues at the hip or even knee pain. Just be aware of it, keep engaging strength and mobility in your muscles, see a professional and live your best life! 💪🏼😊 Thanks Tone and Tighten for these fantastic, educational videos!

Wish I could do those excercises on the floor. Can’t due to difficult knee replacement and age. Any alternative to all the floor excercises?

Thank you so much, I've been having more pain than I usually get over the last few days. I watched your video and learned some of these exercises when I was a teenager in a Dublin Hospital. I am now 62. I'm going to add some of the simple extra ones you have so kindly demonstrated. For anyone in pain, I think a waist belt that heats up can be beneficial. I do hope this helps someone ❤️

I hope you find these beneficial, stephanie!
