Trial and error and recognizing which ones load the spine

@@dutch4066 my scoliosis masterclass is the blueprint I use for all of my clients. Everything I teach is in the masterclass. People sign up for my coaching to get the 1-on-1 accountability to maximize results

@@bhadranti I released my Scoliosis Masterclass on my website - It will help you tons!

@erikthomasfitness yes I saw it. Though I like the exercise video better cos it's inspire me of the exercises I need to do! U did great!!! By helping urself & others. I can't complaint because my body looks better than 25y ago😊 I accept that because of shifted center of gravity (due to scoliosis) I got utarian prolapse often. I accept that my spine start protest when my BMI reach 21.What a demanding body! 🤣 My clients & colleagues always say why u do a diet?U r not fat! Then I need to explain my spine can't hold it,I will have sciatica. I also accept: aah maybe that's why I got miscarriage. The older I get, the weaker my spine, the more exercises I need. Having the pain for >40 y ( I remember my body uneven & pain since around 5yo but really getting worse after 20), I'm thankful that due to it, I have a 'sexy' body. Also meditation has reducing my curve. Since they're uneven by birth, it will never be straight, but I'm ok. I actually don't understand why people want to suicide. But I think it's also depends how u r growing up. i know that the society is focusing on negative sides. Sure it pain n don't look good...but we have lots of great things we can focus. We can see for sure! Otherwise we're not in TH-cam... Realised how many greatness u have n work with what u lack of. And Erik you already did just that! Great job! 👏🏼 Thank you for sharing

@ love the positivity you live with! Never stop working on yourself 🙏🏻

@@k1ngskully969 add it to your cart and it’ll tell you. It’s a tiered pricing structure so once the first threshold is hit, the price will increase. It’s a small investment in yourself to solve the problems you’re facing right now. I trial and errored for 10 years to find the answers… it has all the answers I was looking for 10 years ago. Save yourself the time and struggle. My Masterclass has changed lives. You can DM me and I’ll show you screenshots of people who have reached out and thanked me for putting it together. They’ve experienced instant pain relief and mind-muscle connection like they’ve never felt before. It’s life-changing. 10 years of knowledge packed into 2 hrs of instructional walk-throughs 🤝🏻

@@riquestrong9496 check out my website for my ebook and scoliosis masterclass. It’ll save you years

@@2P2G5C Without a trainer, I wouldn’t recommend something so advanced for people who are experiencing pain. I’ve always been a proponent of slow and controlled to gain mind-muscle connection

Are you experiencing any pain? Is your spine fully developed? Is your spine changing/is it progressive?

@@erikthomasfitness I always have a pain, It has been two years and the degree of curvature is still the same because I wear the brace, but during this whole time I have not carried any weight, even 1 kg. However, this year I want to join a club and lift weights, but I am afraid that the condition will deteriorate to the worst.

@@gogo-lf8wv it would be best to work with someone who knows what they’re doing. I trial and errored for 10 years before I figured out how to train properly and build a physique with scoliosis. I would suggest you watch the full balanced body masterclass to learn everything you need to know… if you still feel like you need help, I can coach you. My client testimonials are in the BB Masterclass. (Incredible 5 week transformations)

Thank you❤

I am 33 been lifting with scoliosis since I was 29. I was advised by the doctors not to lift anything overhead to avoid making it worse. Before lifting, I had pain in my back and couldn't stand for a long. I am currently lifting really heavy weight and literally don't feel any pain from my scoliosis. It wasn't so easy at the beginning, I had to push through the pain. Defying the Doctors and facing my fear has been one of the best decisions of my life. I have videos of some of my recent lifts in my channel..

TRX bands would be great

I'm crying rn

@@-fl1ckz198 send me some ideas 💡 would love to answer some questions

@@ufd working out feels amazing…. But be careful of the exercises you’re doing. There are certain exercises you should avoid. If you’re ever experiencing a “pinch”, STOP THE EXERCISE! With time, you’ll figure out what works for you!

@@danielbustamante2015 scoliosis is the lateral curvature of the spine so doing a plank/push up facing the floor won’t help too much. A side plank would be better. It’s important to recognize which side is convex and which is concave - you have to target certain areas the correct way (stretch vs strengthen)

@@erikthomasfitnessok thanks. How about isometric exercises in general. Specifically compound isometrics exercises like isometric bench and squats. Are they effective for correcting muscle imbalances, and therefore can help with scoliosis?

@@danielbustamante2015 definitely not. I’ve tried to reincorporate those movements into my workout routine multiple times. Barbells create problems when you’re imbalanced. Squatting with a barbell on your back loads your spine and leads to a lot of compensation. There are better exercises to target those muscle groups. The incline dumbbell chest press is the best exercise for chest growth. For legs, I’ve found the leg press/bulgarian split squat to be the best.

@@wiktorb6846 that’s amazing! Keep wearing that brace. You’re supposed to wear the brace until your spine stops growing/maturing. Im assuming you have a progressive case? Do you do any exercises?

I do some schroth exercises and PE in school but i also found "somatic stretching" online, do you know if it works?

@@harshitmishra5343 I’ve realized that consistency is the most important factor. 1) avoid the things that’re making things worse 2) train your mind-muscle connection (in the gym) to correct your posture

My freinds are all super athletic as well, my mind is with them but I body just can match. I'm working with a (46 degree) bend which has been getting worse. I'm 6,4 and have always wanted to get into great shape

@@lifestyleofthearts1205 i never gave up. It took 10 years to figure everything out. I’ve been pain-free for 5 and built the physique I always wanted. I’m releasing my masterclass this week!

What exercise that can help me grow muscle and strength shall I do?? I also have scoliosis smilliar to your which is lumbar spine

@@manal516 yes you can! I’m releasing my masterclass this Sunday. The first hour is completely free and discusses all of your available options for treatments. Message me on Instagram and I’ll give you a discount on the recovery techniques section. Thanks for commenting 🤝🏻

@@erikthomasfitness oh thank u 💘💘💘

@@-fl1ckz198 I cover this in my masterclass I’m releasing. It’ll be available on 9/19. 1) Lower the weight 2) Start in the “flexed” position and MAINTAIN tension as you allow it to stretch to the “open” position 3) Squeeze the flex for 1-2 seconds 4) After your set, flex the muscle to improve mind-muscle connection

@@eagle5818 Hey, I know how it feels to think that things will never get better… but they will. I promise. I’ve been through the mental battles you’re currently facing. Join a few Facebook groups and connect with people, there’s so much help out there and so many ways to feel connected to people who are going through similar situations. Don’t ever give up on yourself. There will be a day somewhere down the road where you can look back on all of this and say, “I made it”. It took me 10 years of trial and error to fix myself. I wrote a book on it, you can download it for free on my website. It will definitely help. Try out the muscle releases - they’re a life-changer!

@@erikthomasfitness I've tried some of that but its just... yeah, i'm worried even when i get a girlfriend that she'll look at me and just be dissapointed because of my upper body genetics. But i won't give up. I'll go for as long as possible.

@@eagle5818 the right girl will love you for who you are, not how you look. You can always change the way you look. I was all messed up a few years ago and I’ve built the body I’ve always dreamed of. Look at the transformation on my instagram page. I was all sorts of imbalanced with my scapula winging like crazy. It can be fixed! It takes work, but you can absolutely change the way you look. You’re thinking very short term - think long term. Invest in yourself, put in the work, and make yourself proud. You got this 💪🏻

@@erikthomasfitness Thank you man... you're a good guy. I'll schedule an appointment with my doctor tomorrow.

Hello eagle bro i got the same issue with asymmetrical face and legs...

@@coletonk1401 it’s important to have a structured workout plan that addresses YOUR imbalances. Send me an email or reach out to me on insta

@@jibirocksyou2 the pain doesn’t get better until you fix the problem. Fuel your body. Strengthen it and the endorphins will overcome your pain

just going to start

@@postelb8046 absolutely. I trained unilaterally for 2 years to correct my compensations, reduce muscle imbalance, and build muscle. My pain disappeared and I’m feeling the best I’ve ever felt. I train with a mix of unilateral movement and bilateral movements now

@@EuodiaMedia I had just figured things out in my first video. Now, 4 years later, I know FOR SURE that my methods work 😂🙏🏻

@@enzokuwamoto I’ve been doing chest/tri, back/bi, legs, shoulders, rest, repeat

I’d do unilateral exercises till you balance out and have the mind-muscle connection to perform them correctly
