i have scoliosis but have never really been bother by it…until now. How can i know if i have a lumbosacral scoliosis?
i do the hanging for 1 minute 3 times each day and about 10 other exercises in my therapy gym. push up back stretches, and other really tough ones.i dont think i’ve done anything so tough in my life but the pain in my back is fading. the doc said you gotta back your spine flexible and than work on muscles in your back to take advantage of the spine posture. the exercises are extremely tough my arms feel numb and my palms are scratched up from the metal grip but hey you gotta do what you gotta do
@Kepachodude Surgery also opens you to risks like infection and spinal cord damage. Exercises may be uncomfortable, but they won’t kill you or make you a paraplegic. I highly recommend the Schroth book, which is available on Amazon for $50. If you can’t apply the book on your own (I couldn’t, it’s written for physical therapists!), search out an open-minded orthopedist, physical therapist, doctor of chiropractic, doctor of osteopathy, Rolfer, or other professional bodyworker to help you.
@Kepachodude
This exercise is a part of the Schroth Method, an exercise program created by a scoliotic woman who figured out how to reduce her curvature on her own. I have REDUCED my curvature with the Schroth Method, versus surgery which only promises that it MAY be able to SLOW the progression of a curvature. I am currently working on Schroth exercises with a DPT with no prior knowledge of the method and both of us are very impressed with my progress.
@2NE1FANATICisTAMGAHO My guess is this. When you are exercising you use the muscles of the side you want to strengthen, either right arm or left leg; should be the same with the back. When you move toward the curve you are exercising the muscle on that side of the body, making them more resistant to curvature of the spine keeping it in place. That’s my understanding and i could be wrong.
does it work?
ya i think im gonna stick with the surgery
why should I swing towards the curve? isn’t it I should swing it against? and I was quite confused..how should I determine the curve? my hump is on the right side
Lengthen the spine and free the neck.
Most of the clients I have are not strong enough to pracitce this exercise. Showing modificatons to this exercise would be helpful.
Ironic how I have scoliosis as a fullback.
@erreve1120 A brace no. i dont have any medical equipment
@Gab1Bv Do you have a scoliosis brace? I have one, it was reversed by 1 degree…..
Im trying these exercises but i dont have access to a bar high enough. I am able to hang from a bar but i have to bend my legs a bit. Also, do anyone know if this is reversible after a certain age? or you’ll be fine if your able to keep stretching.
Another question is how long will this time? I have a slight curve going to the right. near my shoulder. Because of that i have developed a slight hump on my right shoulder back area
so im trying to fix it.
