I discovered this video 12 months ago and since then have followed the routine religiously once a day, missing only two days. I've lived with mild scoliosis for almost 60 years but would estimate reducing about a 15 deg curve to about 10. Jess says that if you're dedicated you will see some changes happening and I've found that to be true. I encourage anyone to follow the routine daily and to be patient. I don't know if you still look in here from time to time, Jess, but I did thank you on your Facebook page earlier. Thankyou once again anyway.

[@arshiaafzali]

I am glad to hear it. You could decrease your curve with just doing these exercises?

[@ChanyaM]

Are you also using brace together with the exercise? Or just exercise alone?

[@yongjunchai7332]

i’ve been doing this video (and the other one on this channel) for two years now. my curve was about 25 degrees and then it progressed to 39ish degrees or like to the point where if it progressed even a little bit i would need surgery. and let me tell you, this video worked. my curve has gone down to like 34 degrees and i’m not in the danger of surgery anymore. so if you are like how i was, very scared and unsure of the future, just have faith

[@ChanyaM]

Are you also wearing the brace together with the exercise?

[@yongjunchai7332]

@@ChanyaM nope because when it did get to the point that i needed to consider getting a brace, i had almost stopped growing so a brace would have been almost ineffective

[@drrealitycheck1]

I had been doing this for months along with the more advanced video exercises early this year. My curvature showed improvement, from what my spouse noticed. I later had an arm injury (unrelated to exercise) and had to stop it for the summer, while I did physical therapy (stretching and later weight training) to restore my arms full function. This was successful. I'm now back doing the Pilate scoliosis exercises again, and have continued also with my upper body work along with long walks. I'm in my late 60s, and am in pretty good shape for my age despite the above challenges. I intend to continue daily exercise including the ones from your videos.

[@JessicaValantPilates]

I'm glad your curvature improved!

[@justsoyouknow2293]

really? does your spine back to normal shape?

[@caroleearslanian7411]

Hanno the Phoenician I know this is three years old but I just needed to let you know what a great encouragement your comments were! I am nearly 69 and have moderate scoliosis. There is hope for me! I too am in pretty good physical shape but have not addressed the scoliosis til now. I am determined to at least be more flexible and decrease pain in back legs and hips. (Didn’t realize I had scoliosis til about 5 years ago). I was a dental hygienist for 35 years.

[@beyzakucuk7589]

Can you please give the links of the more advanced video exercises? I hope you got better btw

[@milivojeraicevic5713]

Hi, Jessica.I work out in the gym regularly and couple of weeks ago my muscles in the center of my back hurt so much while doing an exercise, I was literally out of breath, I couldn't move or anything. I visited a doctor and was diagnosed (If I can say that) with scoliosis. I have tried your videos, and It helped me a lot even after first try, so I will keep on doing it. Thank you very much and keep up the good work ;)

Hi Jessica! I have developed scoliosis in the last year due to neurological issues caused by heavy metal toxicity, fibromyalgia symptoms, combined with my job. I have really been benefitting from your exercises while I go through treatment for the other issues. Thank you. And thank Jehovah! I didn’t have to quit my job yet.

[@chloebanks9453]

Hi there :) I've recently started doing Pilates at home, using your vidoes primarily and then I discovered this video! I have scoliosis. It's not a bad form but it really effects my right shoulder, it slopes down and sticks out quite significantly. I've only been doing this exercise for a couple of days but I really feel the benefits already and if I carry on and i physically see a difference I will be one happy lady! I think your vids are amazing and it's such a benefit that you're a physio therapist so I know that everything I do is going to do wonders for my back and posture! Thanks again!

[@marvellousegunubi4470]

Hi, Jessica. Thank you for taking out time to create life-changing videos. I have a question. If scoliosis creates a curve, why are the exercises done in left and right directions and not on the opposite side of the curve? Doesn't exercising on the side of the curve kinda worsens it? Really looking forward to your reply. Thanks❤

[@SarahBoucharde]

I'd also like to thank you for this video! I have a moderate to serious Scoliosis condition and I have been doing Pilates daily for a quite a while, it's the only thing I've found helps. I honestly believe it is a miracle cure! I am only 22 years old and I suffer from quite bad Sciatica as a result of my Scoliosis, do you have any advise on techniques to help with this? Your videos are fantastic thank you so much for uploading this! You are one of my miracle workers. :o)

[@JessicaValantPilates]

Sarah - that's great to hear and I'm so glad you have been doing Pilates for a while - what a difference it makes! Sciatica can be associated with scoliosis as the nerve becomes pinched from assymetries in the pelvis. The exercises you are doing should help address this as they hopefully decompress the area around the nerve. I of course recommend physical therapy as well! Visit me at www.pilateshappyhour.com for more tips, and you can contact me directly there 😊

[@aisyaputri2338]

i have scoliosis and the last time i checked (2 years ago) my curve is about 46 degrees, and i started doing pilates almost a year ago and i feel amazing and i love doing bridges especially on the reformer bed, i basically love all exercises done on the reformer bed cause i really feel the stretches with it. my instructor also told me to do the child pose whenever i feel tense which i think is good, it's very relaxing.

It seems to affect those areas that need it. So, I'm quite satisfied and pleased with this video. Thank you for posting these on U Tube. I'm old but in good shape for my age, and had ignored my scoliosis for many years but finally saw a doctor who recommended physical therapy. I prefer to do it at home and this will allow me to.

hi Jessica, I'm 56 years old and I have recently been diagnosed with scoliosis in my lower spine and my neck (so an s shape). I have always been super fit and done a lot of high impact exercise classes which I'm now worried has added to the bends in my spine? I also have frozen shoulder at the moment (which is how I came to find out by chance about the scoliosis) after having some x-rays done. The frozen shoulder obviously limits my movement even more but I want to start trying to work on everything together to get back to being able to exercise properly again as soon as possible. I was unaware that you could improve the bend until coming across your channel on here so I am so pleased to find your exercises. I've started doing them as best i can along side frozen shoulder exercises and hoping that I can maybe even get my hips back in alignment as well as my spine straighter as at the moment they are very uneven. Is there any other things you recommend to do or avoid to speed up recovery please? nici xx

I have been doing stretches since then but it was simple stretches geared more to seniors and my discomfort was getting worse. I found your videos on Utube and am determined to keep at it! It’s really hard and sometimes I feel worse after the routine than before but I am careful to listen to my body and to know how far I can go. I thank you so very much for your encouragement! You are a lifesaver and I can’t wait to ‘graduate’ to your more difficult routines. Side note: I have been to doctors of every kind and done PT massage chiropractic you name it I have done it! Yet you are the only one that I feel is really helping me.

[@ViolinStimme]

Hello Jessica, This looks very good. I did a course of Pilates once but the teacher was an ex-ballet dancer. I had difficulty keeping up! You pace this nicely, thank you. One question - why do you 'inhale' when compressing the diaphragm e.g. bring the head forward? Logically one would do this the other way round. Does this put extra 'squeeze' on the muscles? Or is there another reason?

[@okaykatee]

I not only want to improve my scaliosis but I just want to get rid of it completely!!! Does this help to make scaliosis disappear with time and a lot of consistency? Someone please answer

[@JessicaValantPilates]

It depends on many things such as the severity of your curve. I would just start trying it and see how it goes over time!

[@truusvandenhoek8484]

Dear Kate, if you have a structural scoliosis you can not get rid of it. You have to be aware not to improve your curve(s) by hanging in them siting, standing and all your daily movements. Try to move against them if possible. But find yourseld a good specialist and if possible a Schroth therapist. And if you want to see a few more scoliosis specific Pilates video's you could google fot Katherina Thek and scoliopilates. For most people with scoliosis it is better to start exercises with someone checking what you are doing, because first you have te develop body awareness and be aware of what you are doing, before you will be able to correct as much as possible!

[@JessicaValantPilates]

I know Karena Thek personally and she is a wonderful therapist and Pilates instructor. The Schroth method is great, along with many other methods that work for different people. I always recommend trying to see someone individually, but we know that isn't always realistic :). Try different workouts and videos and see what works best for you! This is what I use as a physical therapist and Pilates instructor for my clients.

[@truusvandenhoek8484]

And they are for sure good general exercises. But especially scolioses patients should not try to do things on their own without supervision of a trained professional, unless they have already done that and have a good body- and scoliosis awareness. Otherwise they will probably move into the scoliotic curves without noticing it. And the awareness part is one of the most important things of scoliosis therapy!!

So frustrating. I'm not overweight, but the curve of my spine and how badly my belly is distended because of it makes it nearly impossible for me to sit up with my legs straight out in front of me, let alone do any of the stretches that involve leaning forward. God I was hoping this stuff could help me but I'm wondering if it's even gonna make a difference if I can't even come close to doing most of these exercises.

hi! I was taught that rolling up (at minute 12.:50) without bending your knees can be dangerous for the lover back.

Is this routine helpful towards deep lower back scoliosis? (40 degrees) or is there another video or routine I should be using for my situation?

[@JessicaValantPilates]

I think it can most likely be helpful!

[@taramae9869]

Is both left and right for S curve scolio?

[@justenhansen]

If you're working both sides of your torso, how will that fix scoliosis? Shouldn't we just work one side?

[@versannetteblackman506]

Jess, can I do these exercises if I've had surgery for scoliosis? I have hardware in my back, so just wondering if it's safe. (herrington rods on both sides of the spine, done in 1992)

[@JessicaValantPilates]

Versannette Blackman Hi! Without doing an evaluation on your back I couldn't specifically say and would recommend you discuss with your doctor. I have worked with clients with hardware and Herrington Rods in the past and I usually work on stabilizing through the hips and pelvis and upper body, as well as the core. The hardware will prevent a client from moving the spine segmentally, but they can commonly still do exercises in a neutral spine position. I hope that helps!

Have you seen a reduction of the curve in adult patients as well?

[@donkeykickpunch1263]

I have severe scoliosis and I went undiagnosed for 10 years and by the time I saw a chiropractor he said even with rehab it would never be cured unless by a medical device like a back brace :( I don't want a back brace lol Are these very effective? I'd like to start these work outs

[@JessicaValantPilates]

+Maighdean Gemini You can read through the comments below to get an idea of how they have helped people, but I do believe they can be effective! Good luck!

[@QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

+Maighdean Gemini If you can wear a back brace while you're still young, that's not so bad. Other people don't have that option, unfortunately.

[@MrBarryallstar]

+Maighdean Gemini i have it too .. and make my back really pain :( im 22 now .. is this good for me do exercise ?

[@donkeykickpunch1263]

+Baz Maz well I'm turning 21 in may I don't consider myself young enough for a back brace anymore. I'd never wear one it's too much of a hassle honestly and I've found workouts at my college that an instructor teaches for scoliosis and it's helped a lot with the pain

[@MrBarryallstar]

thanks alot. you okay now ? how long u have scolio? me i notice it like i was 10 or 8 can't remember and im afraid coz i dont do exrcse.

[@ikramsoltani6578]

what if I had a surgery , can I do that , I also wanna lose weight , help me please

[@DeLightToDeLirium]

Surgery is very risky and you're only eligible if your curve is 45 degrees anyway. Only consider surgery if therapy doesn't help over time. Consistent yoga and physio helps me, though sometimes the pain is just immobilizing.

[@ikramsoltani6578]

+Η βαρόνη I already did the surgery there is one year now . it was 48 degrees

[@luckymei683]

+Ikram Soltani same it was one year for me too my angle was 50° and honestly I still see a little bulge and it's bugging me XD

[@LeaBieber9]

my Scoliosis is very little, I haven't seen the doctor yet, I just learned about it a couple of days ago. The curvier side for me is my right. should I stretch from the left; right arm up to the left? :)

[@khadijamamouni5976]

you should do swimming and see a doctor because scoliosis grows very fast and you wanna take it off before it's worse
