Anyone here have scoliosis or know someone who does? If so, anyone want to share their experiences in exercise programs, treatments, special physio, personal training?
I was born with scoliosis and considered mild in the average case (about 20 degrees), but now that I'm getting older, I'd like to mitigate the problems with training or exercise to improve my body's imbalances before I have a tougher time later down the road.
My one side of my back (around the trap/shoulder area) is always pretty tight and one side of my body is generally a bit stronger than the other. I try and be a bit active and also do yoga about 3-4 times/week, it helps a bit. I also use the roller to work out the knots but its a very slow and gradual improvement, if not at all improving. I read from a few sources that the curve may or may not get worse as I get older, but I've read that certain strength and exercise programs and unilateral exercise/training programs can mitigate my condition and prevent it from happening and generally have improvements in terms of strength and mobility.
I've done a bunch of Google searches but there are lots of conflicting information. Some say regular strength training or say see a specialist for certain types of exercise. Alot of the articles are case by case, so I'd like to see a professional for some guidance.
Can anyone recommend a place to go to or who to see for special back/scoliosis assessments?
