Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves to one side, resulting in an abnormal curvature of the spine. While exercise alone cannot cure scoliosis, it can be helpful in managing the condition by improving posture, strengthening the muscles, and reducing pain.
1.Step Downs Reaching Arm Overhead
Stand up straight on a step. Stand on one leg and move the elevated leg back behind you over the edge of the step. Bend your stance leg a little as though to lower your elevated leg towards the floor. At the same time, raise your arm on the same side as your elevated leg up into the air. You may even like to reach this arm up and over to the opposite side to increase the stretch. Return to the upright position and repeat.
2.Downward Dog
Lie on your front. Place your hands under your shoulders and place your toes on the floor. Move into a push-up position, keeping your body strong with a straight line from your shoulders to your toes. Press through your hands and push down through your heels. Allow your bottom to move upwards until you make an inverted V position. Maintain a straight back, dropping your head between your shoulders. You should feel a stretch down your calf muscles. Hold and steadily return to the start position and repeat.
3.Dynamic Lunge Arms
Start: Start with both feet together and arms stretched upwards. Movement: Move one arm to the side. Step forward with one foot and lower your body towards the floor. Keep your knees and hips facing forward and your body upright. Press out from the foot and return to the start position. Return the arm to the upward position and move the other arm to the side. Repeat the dynamic lunge.
4.Cat And Camel
Start on your hands and knees with your back in a neutral position. Arch your back, lifting your head up and pushing your tail bone out, making a dish with your spine. Hold this position. Next, bend your back up by tucking your head and tail bone in and pulling your belly button in towards your spine, making a curve through your back. Hold this position, and then repeat.
5.Upper Trunk Rotation
Sit upright in a chair and rotate your body round to one side, using your arms on the back of the chair to pull yourself round further. This should feel like a stretch through the torso. Hold this position before your turn to stretch in the other direction.
