I love your channel! I am 15 and I suffer from grade 3 scoliosis. I cried a lot because of this, but your channel motivates me. I'm glad that I'm not the only one. I wish everyone good luck with this

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

Glad it was helpful and hope you managed to sleep well for the rest of the night!

[@flywings111]

Thanks for the tip. I have right thoratic left lumbar scoliosis. I always sleep on my back. When I take a nap and just lay on bed it feels better being on my right side though. :)

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

Sleeping on the back is definitely the best position!

[@milkrabbits]

Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate your videos. I suffer from scoliosis and videos like this help me stay on top of things. :) Much love!

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

Thank you! So glad that you find my videos helpful 😊

[@milkrabbits]

@Move With Scoliosis of course! I actually have a question about the cushion you're using in your video. The dimensions and firmness seem great for me. Do you have a link to it, or any personal tips for finding good pillows?

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

@@milkrabbits it’s a Tempur memory foam pillow

Thank you🌺

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

You’re welcome 😊

Thank you for your sharing ❤

[@blueeyedsoulman]

I also have painful facet jamming. Should I sleep with a brace as well (which is like a corset with strings)??

[@oussamaih1194]

I have on curve on my right side so i can’t sleep on my right i feel like my right’s abs start to annoying me that’t why i sleep all night on my stomach and sometimes on my back is this normal doctor ???

[@sbkir]

I can no longer sleep on my left side. It causes extreme pain and soreness in my actual vertebrae and the muscles around it mostly on the left side. This video makes sense. My convex side is on the left around l5 s1. I have s shaped due to congenital hemi vertebrae that is getting worse with age, gravity and such.

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

so sorry to hear that you're in pain... 😔

[@arterynosferatu672]

Thanks doctor love you 💜️

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

not a doctor but thank you nevertheless :-)

[@CFSUnravelled1]

Hope you can give some tips Christine as I am very sleep deprived. I have a reverse S curve and can't sleep on my back or ride side (due to shoulder). I sleep with a pillow between knees, but the issue is that lying on my side causes the tight muscles in my lumber side to be over-stretched leading to pain and spasms. I have tried different mattresses and pillow support but can't relieve this (except to lie on the other side, but this causes nerve pain in my arm due to the shoulder issue). What can you suggest? PLEASE HELP!

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

Hi, so sorry to hear that you're struggling. It might be worth getting to the bottom of the pain itself and investigating. Do you support your convex side with a rolled up blanket? Do you find it difficult getting to sleep or staying asleep? Do you wake up with pain? Might be worth digging a little deeper.

[@CFSUnravelled1]

Thank you for your reply@@MoveWithScoliosis I have tried countless pillows etc, but not under the convex side as I feel it would allow the hip to drop more causing more pulling on the concave side. I will try but I am not sure that it will do the trick.

[@lauramarcora7451]

Currently I am getting up in the mornings with waist pain...I sleep usually on my back and sometimes on my concave side...may be the mattress is ready to be changed ..🤔

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

Yes maybe a different mattress or more support under the knees!

[@ching2211]

I have 45 degree towards right scoliosis. So which side should i sleep and i am on a wheelchair for 2 years, my back muscle seems weaker than before, i have to sit with leaning to the left with same arm supporting on the restarm. Otherwise i can not breathe properly or even feed myself on meals. 😢

[@hajardaghmi5049]

Hope you are better ❤

[@hajardaghmi5049]

Sorry but I didn’t fully get it! I have an S scoliosis

[@drexgarcia6234]

I have mild dextroscoliosis. Which side should I face left or right?

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

dextro means it's going to the right! It really depends on your exact pattern to be honest and where exactly the curve is.

[@nrnb6957]

Sola doğru,boynumla beraber yana eğildiysem ! Sağ taraf üzerine yatmam mı doğru ❓

[@raviaba2875]

i have left rib cage popped out, i know i have scoliosis but dont know if its curved on right or left. can i consider that i have left curved because of left rib popped out ?

[@raviaba2875]

i have also left shoulder longer than right

[@flywings111]

It is curved on the left then if the left rib cage is popped out and your left shoulder is longer. It is thoratic. But if your spine is also curved on the lumbar you have an S scoliosis. Best to do it do an X ray.

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

Do you mean at the front popped out or the side?? Check out my video about curve patterns!

[@sylviaslat]

i developed functional tilt as a teen. i am 22, I caught it on my own while its still mild. It happened all because I sat with crossed legs. There may not be any research..but your habits do cause scoliosis.

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

We don't know the exact cause of scoliosis but yes, habits do matter for sure!

[@chinniworld4737]

I have back left side curve now i am how to sleep by turing which side please tell me 😢

[@MoveWithScoliosis]

if it's convex to the left, sleep on the right side
