[quote=Anonymous]Regarding exercise to help with scoliosis, I think it can help with a small (<10 degree) curve. My DD had a curve between 5 and 10 degrees when she was 12. We saw 2 specialists who didn't recommend bracing, just monitoring. DD started rowing (crew) and her coach suggested PT since she had little back or arm strength. The therapist identified back and shoulder muscles my DD wasn't using, and gave her exercises to specifically work on those muscles. DD has continued rowing throughout high school, continues to do the exercises and now at 17 her curve is gone. Not saying this'll work for everyone but it did for my DD.[/quote]
