Scoliosis Stretching Routine Good For Those With Back Pain

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.

This can either be genetic, or structural or acquired. There are many methods to treat ones that are not acquired by default. The right stretching exercises is part of this apart from braces and some even have surgery. A Scoliosis stretching routine should be practiced to help avoid the condition from going really bad. A mild case can be treated with the right routine and habits.

For those who are structurally scoliotic, exercise would not be able to solve the problem, but it can relieve the pain substantially. Exercises that involve a lot of breathing like yoga is a great option. It may cause a lot of pain at the very beginning but making it a habit can alleviate the pain as your muscles start to get used to the activity.

Pilates is also a widely endorsed method for those with the condition. Just like yoga the transitions are easy to get into and the breathing helps a lot. The exercise emphasizes on improvement and better mobility, movement and joint stability. It can substantially strengthen general posture and straighten the spine especially when assisted with a spine brace.

Physical therapists utilize klapp as a form of exercise but this has been met with a certain level of skepticism. Before going through a certain set of exercises, the stretches must be selected based on the findings of the condition. There are many things to consider before getting a set of stretching exercises so that the condition actually does not get worse.

Scoliosis come in 4 basic forms which is identified by the area and the shape of the curvature. The areas are located varying from the mid back, lower back or both. The affected areas are called the lumbar, thoracolumbar, thoracic and are shapes in Cs or Ss.

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.

Many PT professionals suggest the William Flexion stretches and routines when they are not exactly sure about the specifics of the scoliosis. The exercises are relatively simple to do. Some positions require you to like on your back or stay on your feet. A part of this routine is the pelvic tilts which helps with lower back pains and issues.

Before settling for a set of exercises or signing up for a gym program, it may be best to consult the doctor first. Having sets that are to rigorous may worsen the condition and cause more harm than good. Get an appointment or a check up with the doctor if you are starting to feel the symptoms.
