Benefits Of A Scoliosis Stretching Routine Can Give You

By Stephanie Butler


Physical conditions such as scoliosis come in levels of severity. These can result different levels of pain that can be experienced while doing certain kinds of activities. Depending on how bad the situation is, treatment can vary. Exercising the affected area and muscles always help, but these need to be done properly for the effort not to result to something counter productive.

Apart from bad posture, the causes may even be genetic or a birth defect. Exercise is said to help but always only when done right. There are basic patterns that can determine which scoliosis stretching routine is right for your condition. These types will be further discussed later on. The main goal of these routines is to make daily movements easier to achieve and help avoid the condition from getting worse.

While these stretching poses may not magically cure the disease, they can help with the effects and symptoms. Some yoga positions are especially useful for relieving pain and making it easier to perform certain movements in time. While pain during exercise may be experienced at the beginning, constant practice will help alter this.

There have been a substantial amount of information online saying that Pilates have great warm ups that ease you into a routine. The focus of Pilates is on free movement, mobility and joint stability. For non structural types, stretching may greatly help. For those that are born with it, sadly this may not be solved through exercise anymore. At least the stretching helps straighten and strengthen posture along with a back brace.

Routines can vary depending on the severeness of the condition. The matter has been debated and studied by physical therapy professionals and they have many possible routines to offer their clients. There is one called the Klapp which was stopped for a while due to its counter productive effects. It turns out this method only worked for certain cases.

There are four basic types of scoliosis and for these there are different stretches that need to be done. The first one is when the mid back is curved, called the right thoracic curve. The one affecting lower back called the Lumbar curve. The one that creates a C shaped one is called the thoracolumbar curve. Lastly, the S formation also called the Double or S shape.

Pilates in particular is very comfortable to scoliosis patients since they are performed slowly and at the same time focuses on their breathing. This is one reason why it also make sense that yoga stretches are popular among scoliotic people. Other methods also include exercises known by therapists as the Mckenzie extension and Williams Flexion exercises.

There have been some debate about which one would be more effective. It is said that the William Flexion ones are a safe choice since it is used when there has been no exact diagnosis about the specifics of the condition. These are relatively simple like positions where you lie down on your back with both knees up, a partial sit up, pelvic tilts and many more.

Many exercised based treatments are available for this disease. Finding the best ones to use depend on what works best for your condition. To know this, make sure that you have checked with your physical therapist as to make sure that your methods are safe and would not cause more pain.
