Some Of The Best Exercises For Scoliosis

By Harold Murphy


Scoliosis basically refers to a problem that commonly affects young girls although the condition is also cited in boys and adults. About eighty percent of identified cases are often referred to as idiopathic scoliosis which implies that the cause of the condition is not actually known. Exercises for scoliosis basically attempt to bring back the balanced muscle tone at the back of the patient as well as promoting healthy spinal curvatures.

Researches regarding the condition have suggested that these back workouts usually do not inhibit curve progression but they rather assist general improvement of the core strength while providing the patient with symptomatic relief. One of the recommended workouts is the stretching up and down. The patient is supposed to stand with his back on the wall while the hands are dangling freely at the sides.

An individual is actually expected to stand with his back leaned on the wall while he is dangling his hands freely on the sides. The placement of the back against the wall basically inhibits you from either bending forward or backward.

If the patients left side is actually the tight side then the patient is expected to lift the left arm so that it is directly pointing to the ceiling. The patient is the required to try reaching out the ceiling using the left hand and using the right hand to touch the floor.

Another form of workout which can be carried out by patients suffering from this kind of condition is the side stretch. This kind of training is basically carried out with the objective of stretching the tight back muscles as well as providing the patient with relief from possible symptomatic complaints of the back.

One of recommendable training is the bird dog stretching. This is a form of training which actually demand the use of a gym ball in order to offer the required support. This is actually one of the best method especially to beginners as it hurts less while at the same time helping in the attainment of correct posture.

Basically if the patients left side is the tight side then you are supposed to lift your left arm just above your head while bending sideways on your right and away from the tight muscles. You are then required to position the right hand on the right hip in order to brace the movements.

You are then required to gently apply pressure on the right hip so that you can argument the stretch. The patient is then required to try reaching the head as far as you are capable off. The patient is expected to feel a very gentle stretch on the tight left sided muscles located at the back as well as the those muscles located between your ribs. You are required to hold the stretch for a duration of about five seconds before going back to the starting position.
