Can exercise actually straighten your spine if you have scoliosis?
If you have scoliosis, you may have wondered whether the right exercises can actually straighten your spine or whether you're stuck with your curve forever. In this episode, I separate fact from fiction and explain the difference between permanently changing a structural scoliosis curve and temporarily creating more length and space in your spine.
You'll learn how traction and decompression can help counter the effects of gravity, why finding length can change how your spine looks and feels, and how movement can decrease discomfort & back pain.
You’ll discover:
- What exercise can and cannot do when it comes to a structural scoliosis curve.
- Simple traction, decompression, and stretching techniques to help release tension and create more space in the spine.
- Exercises that can support spinal mobility, core strength, balance, coordination, and body awareness.
Play the episode to learn practical ways to create length in your spine, counter the effects of gravity, improve posture, and move with more confidence and less scoliosis-related back pain.
