These comments make me so happy that I'm not the only one suffering from scoliosis with an S shape or bad hip alignment gives me hope that I will be fixed someday too
Monica Quinones same :(( how old are you? my doctor says when i reach 18, my spine will not go back to normal and it will never decrease its curve :(( i’m 17 btw
Right. It's a relief to know it's not just you. In my community, of small minded people judge hardy, people would judge you just for running, thinking you're above them all, but when in reality, your just trying to get better.
As someone who has had scoliosis all of my life and “normal” stretching exercises are a lot of the time not feasible for me, this helped me so much! Thank you! = )
Your style of instruction is very compelling. My scoliosis is bad and getting worse. Thanks for your sense of concern. You have helped me be hopeful again!
I was doing physio last year, but then kind of stopped exercising after some time and forgot what to do. But these look like the ones I was doing so nice instructions.
So glad I decided to look up videos on how to treat this. Recently in 2019 my car was slammed into by an SUV going 90 mph while I was completely stop and got xrays my back and showed scoliosis big S curve and 2 to stretch disc and herniated discs , these simple workouts feel intense even after a year
I watched this video a month ago, i forgot to comment how blessed i am to come across your video and I thought what a angel 👼🏻 thank you for your video
I usually are very suspicious of "the best x for your x" - videos. But these stretches really works. I haven't had this little pain I a couple of months. You are a lifesaver!
Thank you very much Im suffering from scoliosis since 2019 And I found this video and I just 10 to 30sec stretch of each exercise with one set I feel very good feeling relief on my back God bless u
Your videos are so incredibly informative! I as a physio take always an inspiration from your videos. I think, you have the best physio related channel on TH-cam! Thank you for the amazing job!
I just recently found out about 4 1/2 years ago that I have scoliosis, I had two children and both with epidurals and when I say that I have been in so much pain since then that these are my first stretches for scoliosis and I must say that it is definitely worth it! Thank you so much Doc ❤
I was recently diagnosed with mild curved scoliosis. I get unbearable pain when sitting on my desk, and these are the first stretches that I’ve tried that actually help my pain go away. I am left with mild discomfort, but Tylenol usually helps with that. Thank you!
I struggle with a 40°, that was from 2 years ago, so I’m sure it’s worse, but thank you so much! I just started work and been crying almost every shift because of it! Many doctors can’t prescribe the right meds for sleep, pain etc so this really helped!! physio and chricop, aren’t that helpful.
THANKYOU ❤❤❤❤❤ SOOOOO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS VIDEO!!! I did not realize how tight my muscles are on my left side. I had pain radiating from left thigh to the arch of my foot. After doing these stretches the pain went away. Thankyou Thankyou ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
Thank you Doc.for this scoliosis exercise content for us i'm only 30 yrs old experiencing this unexpected pain at my hipback, founded by my physician its iscoliosis, im nervous ,shocking i have dis 😭
I have had Scoliosis all my life, i had a fusion in 1996, when i was 14, now im almost 39, and i know i need another fusion, i did some of these stretches, a couple i know i'm not ready for and because my spine leans over to my left if feeling pressure on my left thigh, now i feel a little bit better not much, give me a week and hopefuly i can give you a better update
i'm getting my surgery two weeks from now and i really need maximum flexibility or the surgery won't help. this is so helpful and exactly what i needed. thank you so much!
This is helpful. I also want to clarify if I’ll do side stretch for Dextroscoliosis is this correct? - Begin the exercise by standing on your feet about shoulder- width apart and keeping your left hand on your hip. - Now, reach up with your right hand as much as possible and bend over TOWARDS THE LEFT SIDE while keeping the shoulders in line with the hips. Is it towards the left side or towards the side of curvature - right side? Thank you very much!
Thanks, and you're welcome. No, if you have a right sided curve, you want to stretch the tight side (which would be the opposite side), not the curve side. If you can, the best option would be to go see a physical therapist in person for treatment because every curve is different, and at different levels.
Thanks for the video...these stretches are really effective and feel really good. Nice that some of these stretches I have never seen before in other videos.👌🏻👍
I'm not a specialist but as someone who has scoliosis too it depends on how curved ur spine is, sometimes exercise can revert it BUT I'm not exactly sure, you should have that talk w a doctor
Thank you so much!! I’ve been in debilitating pain in my lower back from my scoliosis, but chiropractor services are not covered for me and muscle relaxers do nothing but make me feel weird.. This was the first thing that helped at all, I was able to do all of them, except the tail wagging one hurt too much for me. Anyways thank you for some relief. 😌
Im a nursing student and i need to lift heavy patients, carry things and mostly do lots of bending and some ppl never understand how much im in pain bcs of scoliosis cs they never experience it T_T
pls don't ignore this question if you know the answer, I'm 20 years ols female, can i straighten my back or it's too late for me i can only seek relief and maintain it?
I have diagnosed scoliosis (pretty sure my right hip is also lower than my left one).. but I’m a gymnastic so I’m very flexible. Do you have any advice for how I could correct my scoliosis while stuck in quarantine? (My doctor told me to do swimming, which I did and it helped immensely, but since the lockdown I can’t go)
I'm 14, but I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 9. It has been confirmed that I have not 1, not 2, but 3 curves in my spine. I have a 20 in one of the spots. If it gets to 21 or above, I'll have to wear a brace. Please, wish me luck. I hope the exercises work before my back check up on May 9th.
Everytime when i grip a footbal and train for 1 2 hours my thumb starting to ache, same thing happens when i grip a wide object. Pain is on the first big joint. How can i fix that (the pain lasts for approximately 3 week)
Just found out yesterday I have thoracolumbar levoscoliosis . I really have a pain in may back. My doctor just gave me celecoxib. He says I only need to drink meds. I think this video would help me more.thanks!!!
HI! 🙋💓👏👏 I have S shape scoliosis… and so many questions…. I don’t feel comfortable at all doing any exercise on my knees and hands… I can do the child’s pose, that doesn´t feel bad on my knees.. but I feel like my torso/spine would not elongate and I end up in some extra weird/ extra round position… when trying to do the pose When in all fours, my hands, arms and neck feel like I’m putting too much pressure on them… I don't know how I could exercise safely …😊 Thanks for having this channel… 🙏💓😊

Monica Quinones same :(( how old are you? my doctor says when i reach 18, my spine will not go back to normal and it will never decrease its curve :(( i’m 17 btw
Can we reduce the curve I am 26. Wil the curve still increase?

Vicky i am 20 and doctor says my spine will not go back and i did exercise for a year now its better and they say it will go back to normal

What do you think about hanging for scoliosis? I hope you answer 🙏
Lots of great ideas. Some worked better for me than others but all info is helpful!
Thanks for the video...these stretches are really effective and feel really good. Nice that some of these stretches I have never seen before in other videos.👌🏻👍
You're welcome.
Very nice exercises, thanks
Thanks, and you're welcome.
i needed this. i did go to a therapy for few months but my back still feel that crumpled feeling and mothings really happening.
🙏🙏🙏for the most helpful tips!Be Blessed!!!👍❤
This made my back feel incredible thank you
You're welcome.
I didnt know I had mild scoliosis till I was in my late 30's. I think it can be caused by muscles or tendons being shorter on one side of the back.
Me too. I'm currently seeking help. Mines is mild also but it causes hip displacement. These stretches help
I just have one question, I’m 19 so does these stretches work or does the spine get permanently curved?
I'm not a specialist but as someone who has scoliosis too it depends on how curved ur spine is, sometimes exercise can revert it BUT I'm not exactly sure, you should have that talk w a doctor
Thank you Dr. Jo, you are the best!

Hi! Can i do this exercise even i had my scoliosis surgery? I had my surgery last 2007. But now i experience back pains. Thanks for the info! 😊
You're welcome. You will need to be cleared by your doctor first.

What is the best way to correct your spine or is it possibly. Just turned 24 now im diagnosed :(

My favourite doctor, Are These Exercises for both s & c curve scoliosis?
Iam suffering mild c shape lumber scoliosis. Could I follow these 10 exercises
They are for both.
thank you so much
You're welcome.
Everytime when i grip a footbal and train for 1 2 hours my thumb starting to ache, same thing happens when i grip a wide object. Pain is on the first big joint. How can i fix that (the pain lasts for approximately 3 week)
The best thing to do would be to go see a physical therapist. I don't know what that could be since I can't evaluate you.
How do we know what side to stretch on?
im late to reply but i think which one of your shoulders is lower, thats where the curve goes? im not sure
Tnx, these are gold
You're welcome :-)
I have a question doc. Is it effective for proper lane again to my spinal?
Doctor Jo is this a general exercise for scoliosis ? Do you also have videos for levoscoliosis
My back feel great ❤️
Just found out yesterday I have thoracolumbar levoscoliosis . I really have a pain in may back. My doctor just gave me celecoxib. He says I only need to drink meds. I think this video would help me more.thanks!!!

Can scoliosis corrected through these excercises? If we're doing these excercises daily then for how much duration we should do them?
HI! 🙋💓👏👏
I have S shape scoliosis…
and so many questions…. I don’t feel comfortable at all doing any exercise on my knees and hands… I can do the child’s pose, that doesn´t feel bad on my knees.. but I feel like my torso/spine would not elongate and I end up in some extra weird/ extra round position… when trying to do the pose
When in all fours, my hands, arms and neck feel like I’m putting too much pressure on them…
I don't know how I could exercise safely …😊
Thanks for having this channel… 🙏💓😊
You're welcome! Have you been to a physical therapist for treatment yet? There are definitely some specific treatments that can be done. This is a more general video since anything specific depends on your particular curve. A physical therapist can help with a program specifically for you.

Omigosh you’re the best.
Hi, I'd like to ask if these exercises also works for people with levoscoliosis
