I had scoliosis mid spine that was killing me as it was affecting every part of my body to misalign....I couldn't breathe properly for 2 years because the misalignment was causing my lungs to restricting t out of shape, this meant lack of bloodline n oxygen getting g to my head...I had the most severe type of brain fog...I really thought I was losing my mind big time, every day was agony... Non of my physios or Chiro practitioners, helped me sort this out...They told me I had a bend in my mid back, kept working on me it nothing was changing...The bend in my mid spine was pushing the whole of my spine out of place... About two weeks ago I was getting ready to sleep, I was sick of beer in so much agony not being about to comfortable no matter what position I slept in...I had been suffering from insomnia for 2 years, only sleeping an hour or two a night, causing my body to crash badly...I decided to Liz yen to my body n see if I can push the bend in my spine in the opposite direction...Lying on my left side as the right side was giving me more trouble, I lift up my right hand n arm, slowly maneuvering over my body to dangle my arm towards my back...I could feel the pressure building at around where the bend was...I closed my eyes to direct my pressurel slowly where I wanted to push...I took a deep breath in n as I exhaled I slowly pushed against the bend, I went as far back as I could breathing in to that place to soften up n release back into the position it needs to be in...I remained there for a count of 30, slowly came back to my side position...A couple of mins later did the same again...This time around d I could feel the difference, it felt like it was slipping back into place... About 5 mins later, I slowly turned back into the centre...I assessed the change...I was breathing so much better, there was no pulling n tugging thru my whole body...The e tremendous tightness in my upper neck, head n facial area had simply relaxed...My lower back that was extremely tight, was looser...Though it has not helped my brain fog, my mind is much more clear...Though it hasn't made much difference to my failing eyesight, it has overall given me my life back...Every night I do this same e ercise to maintain the right posture of my spine...As being in one position for so long it tends to start pulling to go back into the position it was in...I know if I carry onto work on it for a few weeks it will start to remain where it needs to...hope it helps anyone in the same situation..
As a runner who is training for a marathon, these foam rollers th-cam.com/users/postUgkx9XSsjzA4f84VmhBCHlyhec7XILIxennL are really good for sore and tight muscles. This one is a good size (mine is the purple, 36 inches) not too big but big enough to work and roll both my legs at the same time - I took a photo holding the roller next to me just to provide a better representation of its size. I noticed some reviewers who complained that this is, “just a foam noodle”… and yes, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a high density foam roller. It is absolutely NOT the same consistency/strength/durability/ or texture as a ‘pool noodle’ thought and I disagree entirely with those that say so. As a former collegiate athlete and marathon runner, I’m comfortably giving this roller 5 stars. It’s lightweight and durable and does just what I need it to do at a budget-friendly price. Overall, I have no complaints and am happy with it!
Pro Tip: If you have kyphosis in addition to scoliosis, focus on fixing that first. It'll increase the tension along your spine, which will make you less susceptible to force imbalances. The tension will also increase your sensitivity along your spine so you'll be better able to feel out for yourself where the imbalances are. From years of futility, I can tell you that trying to correct scoliosis without fixing your posture is like trying to fill a bucket with a gaping hole in it; it can be done, but it's very difficult to do it quickly enough without losing too much progress for much of it to stick.
Breathing is the only key . Remeber you had a great posture and , most importantly , you felt well , without noticing it . You don't have to do countless muscular exercises only for short-time relief.
Thrilled that I saw this! I was already doing this with a "Foam Roller on My Bed". If you think about it, it's somewhere between the Foam Roller on a Hard surface, or using a rolled up towel. It provides the firmness of the Foam, but the bed's mattress gives it some cushion. Only thing is, is that I wish I would have thought of it earlier, or found this great Video. I've been finding this successful. Good luck everyone! Thank you very much for this posting as well!!!
@@jordanpeschek5436 My scoliosis is not an issue anymore, i do roller foam almost every day. But with time i started to lost shoulder mobility. I discovered it was because of thoracic mobility, i also have a cyphosis, so i do bench t spine everyday, with light pull over on a roller foam.
I already did this with a very hard foam roller, and it showed like an immidiate result...when I do the stomach vacuum, the left side of my rib cage always sticks out more than the right side, so I did this on the opposite side, and after 2 "sets" (30 second stretch) I immidiately noticed how my rib cage was more even...So hopefully if I keep doing this every single day, I will correct mi scoliosis...thank you very much for this video
I got a 30min Schroth therapy once. My spine was completely stuck afterwards and I couldn't move for 2 weeks, not even sit down or get up without help. Had a chiropractic treatment and it got way better within 2 days. Don't work too hard against the curve

Very good video and I gave it a thumbs up, but it's a little misleading at the start. The spine curve of the skeleton which is facing the same way we viewers are is to the left. But transposing it to the person facing us puts the curve to the right.
The picture on the right is showing a left convexed scoliosis, and your exercises are for a right convexed one ! The foam roller has to be on the convex side of the scoliosis !
A wonderful video, frankly, the first time that I understand the correct way of treatment without the need to repeat more than once Thank you very much
I was diagnosed with scoliosis (not a serious one, below 30degrees) when I was 15. A specialist ( a super doctor who was also a university professor an expert in postural problems) said that wearing a heel lift could have been useful: the legs had the same length but my pelvis was a bit twisted and one side 15 mm higher than the other. he said it was good practice non to go for a thick heel lift (that a heel lift should be half or less than the real gap since that could have cause the thoracic curve to worsen.He asked me to come back after a few months with new xrays (taken while I was wearing the 5mm heel lift). The lumbar curve was reduced while the thoracic curve was either the same or just slightly worse. I had less pain and he said I should wear it till I was 18 at least and that afterwords it would be useless. I kept wearing it till I was 35 then I thought I would get rid of it. all good, till after 5 months I started to have lots of pain like sciatica in my lower back and down my hip, left knee.. the side where the crest of the pelvis was lower (where I used to have to heel lift). The pain worsened...also, I was doing pilates and other exercises I was taught as a young patient (exercises to help cope with scoliosis I was taught for a few months on a weekly based by an expert when I was 16). I had never had such a terrible pain in my life, I could not stand or alk anymore for more than 20 minutes. I was fine when sitting or laying in bed. My doctor said that I should see a phisiotherapist. I insisted that I wanted to see a more competent person (like a doctor who studied 15 years to become an expert about posture and scoliosis, but he insisted that a physiotherapist was good enough). The physiotherapist told me (after a thorough) assessment) that my scoliosis (actually my lumbar curve) was not there when I lay on the bed, but just when I stood up. That it was a sort of scoliosis cause but postural problems that that even if my legs had the same length I had to wear a heel lift (15 mm). He said a heel lift would be useful if my scoliosis was still there in all sort of positions but that in my case it would do the job. I started wearing a 6mm heel lift since I did not trust him (20 years before the specialist said I should wear a smaller one; half the real gap). I felt better within the following 2 days and I had 2 great months: no pain!!! now some pain is back but on the other side of the pelvis, the hip without the heel lift (the right side) it is not as bad as the pain I had on the left side, not at all, but it is annoying. Now I don't know what to do. If I take the heel lift off )from the left shoe) I will go back having that unbearable pain...I am 40, I do lots of core exercises and have a very strong core, I do lots of exercises all the best ones for scoliosis... any advice?
I know this may sound odd . but have you thought about going to a chiropractor or osteopath that specialises in scoliosis ? Physio therapy and heel lifts are great . However it seems like you are missing direct treatment to the scoliosis . with manual therapy to the issue . Exercises a and stretching can help but direct contact and manual therapy can help too .
Mark J true. i learned this the hard way after my fantastic chiro retired. good grief there are terrible chirps, physics and doctors out there... it is exhausting trying to find one as GREAT as mine who retired.
WARNING: I am not an expert, but I think the illustration at 0:30 is wrong. The picture on the left clearly shows a posterior view of the body/spine. Clearly our model is not placing the foam roller on the convex but on the concave side if that left picture is the representation of his "medical condition". Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
Scroths method = Mobilization without Specific strengthening/ Real addressing So itll MOST likely come back to exactly! How the scoliosis was over the amount of time you were using this method for. This is from my personal Experience, Scoliosis is best addressed with Yoga and becoming aware of your OWN biomechanics and Ergonomics. Goodluck! Just be Healthy, take care
I bought a foam roller at Ross today and I'm going to start doing this exercise daily. I'm 37 and have a decent curve in my lower back that's about 30 degrees.
Mine is beyond correcting with this, but they had me do this in physical therapy and it really helps. I just did it and I can breathe alot better. Not sure if my exact curve, but it's bad... The whole left side of my body sticks out and recently my hips and knees are out of wack bc of it.
@@houakhang8954 Because it won't fix scoliosis. That's why. Those "pops" and "cracks" are just air like cracking your knuckles. Doesn't do anything except make noise to make it seem like they are fixing you. Facts
I have a scoliosis in my upper back, but whenever i'm trying to sleep laying on my right side, that really hurts some of my left ribs (the lower ones), it kind of gives some preasure idk. Could this exercise be helpful?
U r One of the few that shows this method. Am based in the US...I have been thrown around like a pinball shelling money in a "max profit min work"health system. Saw a chiropractic and got diagnosed with 1. Segmental and somatic dysfunction of cervical region 2. Cervicalgia 3. Segmental and somatic dysfunction of lumbar region 4. Lumbar facet syndrome. ... dont think is scoliosis...guy just threw me on machines and never asked me anything else. Have been boxing for 6 years and a history of heavy weight lifitng and sports. Have digestive diacomfort...my left shoulder is up and i feel left shoulder is also rotated forward. When i breath in deep inhales..my left shoulder seems to go up and qhen i exhale it goes down..also inhaling my lower abdomen goes left a bit...hips seem a little shiteed right- smh. .. got medium pain in lower thoracic and upper lumbar region..after the treatmwnt for about 3 months everything seemed to get worse...he told me i was better.. .smh....i have his diagnostic exam..xrays and tests. Feel totally off. Maybe theres a way i can get help from u online and work out something in terms of payment if u r game....i dont know which way the xray he took is from- the front or back- coz ineed ro know in order to treat myself.guy never answered my questions really....i disnt want to get angry..coz hes older. If u can help...let me know my friend..it would help me alot.. Thanks 4 ur time.
just found this channel! amazing! tysm! curious if there are any exercises or stretches to fix head tilt. not sure if it's from scoliosis or strabismus? maybe both? my one hip is a little higher also. Found this out after fracturing foot and having hard cast put on. lasted less than 24 hrs in hard cast bc and was booted AMA bc of severe pain it caused hip. worse than the cractures in foot. i bought myself an inversion table last year; recently, though, my lower back feels like it is squeezed together (i think the decompression videos accurately describes that pain & makes most sense) will be trying those exercises this evening! tysm!!
Hi! I have scoliosis in my lumbar spine (dextro concave scoliosis). Can I use a foam roller in my lumbar area to make the spine straight, or this move is only for a thoracic scoliosis?
Am lucky to find your video, as I have mild scoliosis of spine to the right . I hope that my spine will be back to normal using your method. Do you have a video on fixing cervical region, as mine is on mild scoliosis to the left ? Much thanks
Hi. My name is Sydney. I am 11 years old. I had scoliosis 2 months ago when my OT and my nurse saw that my back were curved into a S curve . Now I have back pain due to my scoliosis and my left leg. I need your help.
David Audette Hi sydney . I really reccomend going to a chiropractor and get x-rayed to see the seriousness of your scoliosis . and get treated properly
You need to go get a brace and wear it!!! Man, I wish I wore mine at your age. Got diagnosed at 13. I'm 40 now and it's 100x worse and I'm in constant pain. Can't even get it to crack anymore. At your age, cracking would release all the pain. Get it and wear it! Go see a specialist and they custom make them for you to prevent it from getting worse! When you take it off, you feel like a limp noodle. Lol
The anatomical pic shows curve towards left and that body moves right correct! (Because the pic shows posterior part of body, you are trying that anterior ) So you have to place roller under left T10 - L5 ( I thing) , is that clear???
Hello guy:) thanks à lot to answer! Ok I Will do both! Thanks for those exercices for sciatic but I use since 3 years to do That and I always stiff in my right bottom and low back and wick in my left leg:) My chiro and ostéophate guy always told me to release my left thoracic spine And left side muscle of the waist first ! If not I Will always have I stiff right bottom and wick left legs! Know I start to anderstand 2 years after :)) I never listen because and I work my bottom and legs :) And after your exercice for sciolose , I fell good from all my body!! Thanks!
I have a 36 for my degree of scoliosis. I have 3 curves but there is one that is the biggest of the 3. Would this technique help me? How long would it take by estimate?
+Alex Ashley this technique will definitely help . but if its at 36 degrees , you should look for a specialist or even scoliosis bracing. speak to your local chiropractor
I have an S shaped scoliosis with the larger curve being on upper right side and the other one being on the lower left side (just above the waist). Should I lay on the foam roller for each of these in sequence?
@@nickbossbg5636 I ended up never doing this, but I really should have. I might consider doing it but I have also been doing stretches from a video by Austin Goh. They relieve all of the pain but I have not noticed any change in my spine yet.
Jason Park yes he showed in the video that if you should put the roller on the opposite side to put the pressure on the curve side and straighten the curve. i have been sleeping with a rolled towel like this and doing this exercise for about a week and i’m slowly but definitely getting results. hope this helped :)
Hello sir:) Great exercice but it helps when you have IT band syndrome as well?! Maybe it´s my small Scoliosis and asymetric back cause of my It band pain?! it´s better to correct the IT band pain first or do you exercice for sciolosis?!! Or both ?! In the past I have seen chiropastors in 'Paris for my back pain but it´s away come back after:)) ( the pain). Thanks you very much for your answer!
+Sabrina Boukhemacha you can always try both . these exercise are pretty safe and can hardly create major damage. th-cam.com/video/PYnx1Hhj04I/w-d-xo.html
Hi sir, ive a right lumbar scoliosis since my sugery of ACL knee. Ive also a Femoral acetabular impegment (FAI). I never pain in my back before the sugery because i do a lots of sports like karate (10 years)... i think the pressure of the right scoliosis make pain in my femoral hips ? thx
+Charles PERSAND please try out the other exercises with foam rolling the lower back and thoracic foam rolling . on this channel it will definitely help you.
Yes! I had 2 curves also. One in the top and one in the bottom half of my spine. I would take a memory foam/ hard pillow and sort of fold it in half and lay my straight side on top of it. If you noticeably have one half of your body straight and the other like an ⌛️then lay the straight side on the roller or pillow. You could probably position the roller or whatever you use lower to fit where you need it. Just try placing it in diff spots until you feel the difference, you will feel the pain be relieved lol. I used to do this every night and sleep in that position since it was comfy for me. I ended up getting my spine fused with the surgery from t1-L5 so yea like my whole spine lmao. But my surgeon did get me X-rays of recreating that position and it made my spine straighten out while I was like that! It ofc would go back to the snake shape after but it was cool to see. Hope this works for you!
I have curve same as shown in the picture in this video that means it curves in left and the right part is out. So which side should i use roller left or right. What i think is the curve is on left so it should be used on left but the video is showing on right. Plz help
I am 74, have always been very active until about 4 years ago due to torn tendons which made walking etc painful. I’ve had a tendon reconstruction of the hip which has been successful, waiting to have the other side done. I am really interested in the exercises you show and wondered if it is something someone of my age should try. I have had scoliosis since my early teens but it is much more pronounced now. Would appreciate your advice, I’m pretty flexible but am concerned I might make things worse.
This is not the Schroth method. She makes it clear that you should never lay on the convex (rib hump) side because it can actually further rotate the spine into the direction it is already rotated, making the scoliosis worse. Be careful with TH-cam exercises, anyone with scoliosis should consult a physical therapist, doctor, or other medical professional before attempting.
@@nathanchocomint I know this comment is 1 year old but I really need help. If i do this, and if i strengthen my lover lumbar convex side and if i stretch my right concave side will my scoliosis get fixed? I am 16. Please answer me.
@@senbon751 Not sure about the strengthening and stretching but the foam roller will definitely work. I highly recommend seeing a doctor for an X-ray so you know the exact place to put the foam roller at
@@nathanchocomint I know where to put it, I can feel the spine and see it going to left, but will this work only temporary, let's say 1 hour and then the spine will get worse (back as it was) and if i don't do it 1 fay it will get back as it was or will it actually fix it?
@@senbon751 What? No, if the degree of scoliosis lessens then it will stay that way unless you do something to fuck up your spine. I recommend doing it everyday, you should be able to see good results in a week or two
Shall I have to put the foam roller on concave side or convex side. My left shoulder is higher than the right side so I have pain on my left side rib cage
Hello me again! do you have another good exercice for sciolosis?! I haven ´ t a sciolosis but I have sciolosis position since I have 5 years old! it s nearly the same same thing! Same pain( low back, sacrum, knee, stiff left TFL, neck, shouder, ect ...) :))
There is a serious error. The figure on the left is seen from behind, but the model is from the front, and applying the curve as is is a serious error.
Hello from Paris:)! Thanks, l m very happy to Read you! My pain : sacrum and low back, my shouder, my left ankle, left knee, ( syndrome IT band), left TFL ( inflated, a lot of spam on it. I have some problem of walking with the left leg something. It s difficult to sera and get up from a chair. When the thoracic spine is stiff or miss of mobility, it can do sole sacrum problems and make my left leg weak too?! I do à lot of things with my hips, my sacro illiac with osteophat and chiropratic in France ! But it only a little change. Maybe l should take care first in my thoracic part first?! Aand after to take out the lactic acid in my gluteus minimum and gluteus medium with compression technic ( ball ) Because when l mobilize the thoracic spine et cervical spine, l feel better in my hips and my ankle ! My ankle get more mobility!! It ns very Strange :))!! Why ??! Thanks à lot doctor
Helllo again! I'm Sabrina from Paris! Just to tell you my pain is more in the groin folds, un the sacrum and low back area . And I have a twisted hips , the left leg wicked than the right! I think a lot a people have this problem! But maybe the problem is not come from my hips but from my rib cage ( dorsal spine). What do you thing?!
I’m pretty sure that would be the left side of you haven’t already figure that out lol. Basically the side of your body that is straight is the side you put it on, it could be diff for you but for me one side of my torso was straight and the other side was an hourglass shape.

I started wearing a 6mm heel lift since I did not trust him (20 years before the specialist said I should wear a smaller one; half the real gap). I felt better within the following 2 days and I had 2 great months: no pain!!! now some pain is back but on the other side of the pelvis, the hip without the heel lift (the right side) it is not as bad as the pain I had on the left side, not at all, but it is annoying. Now I don't know what to do. If I take the heel lift off )from the left shoe) I will go back having that unbearable pain...I am 40, I do lots of core exercises and have a very strong core, I do lots of exercises all the best ones for scoliosis... any advice?
I know this may sound odd . but have you thought about going to a chiropractor or osteopath that specialises in scoliosis ?
Physio therapy and heel lifts are great . However it seems like you are missing direct treatment to the scoliosis . with manual therapy to the issue .
Exercises a and stretching can help but direct contact and manual therapy can help too .
danlovesnan if u answer this, then i ll dig up the name of a guy who could help you. Many, many of physio and chiros are throwing darts in the dark...
Mark J true. i learned this the hard way after my fantastic chiro retired. good grief there are terrible chirps, physics and doctors out there... it is exhausting trying to find one as GREAT as mine who retired.
Get treated with these techniques www.GoodBack.co.uk
I heard that an overcorrection of the curve is not recommendable. So you would have to choose the right size of the foamroller/towel.
WARNING: I am not an expert, but I think the illustration at 0:30 is wrong. The picture on the left clearly shows a posterior view of the body/spine. Clearly our model is not placing the foam roller on the convex but on the concave side if that left picture is the representation of his "medical condition". Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
Ur right.
You have to assume that in the picture you are looking at the spine as though it is an x-ray taken from the front.
Scroths method = Mobilization without Specific strengthening/ Real addressing So itll MOST likely come back to exactly! How the scoliosis was over the amount of time you were using this method for. This is from my personal Experience, Scoliosis is best addressed with Yoga and becoming aware of your OWN biomechanics and Ergonomics. Goodluck! Just be Healthy, take care
I bought a foam roller at Ross today and I'm going to start doing this exercise daily. I'm 37 and have a decent curve in my lower back that's about 30 degrees.
any updates?
Mine is beyond correcting with this, but they had me do this in physical therapy and it really helps. I just did it and I can breathe alot better. Not sure if my exact curve, but it's bad... The whole left side of my body sticks out and recently my hips and knees are out of wack bc of it.
How frequently should I do this?
thanks alot, this exercise relives me of my pain. I hope u can do more schliosis exercises to strengthen the lower back
+ABDULLAHI IBRAHIM im glad this has helped you
any update?
Do you a video for uneven hips?
I hope this works I'm going to try this tomorrow.
Pro tip: If a chiropractor cracks your back and tells you that will help with your scoliosis. Leave and never go back :)
Yeah so true, those guys tell you so many BS, I’ll fixe your scoliosis only with trusting your back. LMAO
Wait why?
@@houakhang8954 Because it won't fix scoliosis. That's why. Those "pops" and "cracks" are just air like cracking your knuckles. Doesn't do anything except make noise to make it seem like they are fixing you. Facts
@@MoD3RnHD they can definitely fix the pain
@A. S Nope, based on experience working in rehab and researching outcomes of treatment for scoliosis :) Anything else?
I have that same G-Shock watch! Love the black and gold
My curve is to the left so I should put the towl on the left side or right side ?
I have a scoliosis in my upper back, but whenever i'm trying to sleep laying on my right side, that really hurts some of my left ribs (the lower ones), it kind of gives some preasure idk. Could this exercise be helpful?
Samehere !
Left hand side sleep feels good
U r One of the few that shows this method. Am based in the US...I have been thrown around like a pinball shelling money in a "max profit min work"health system. Saw a chiropractic and got diagnosed with
1. Segmental and somatic dysfunction of cervical region
2. Cervicalgia
3. Segmental and somatic dysfunction of lumbar region
4. Lumbar facet syndrome.
... dont think is scoliosis...guy just threw me on machines and never asked me anything else. Have been boxing for 6 years and a history of heavy weight lifitng and sports. Have digestive diacomfort...my left shoulder is up and i feel left shoulder is also rotated forward. When i breath in deep inhales..my left shoulder seems to go up and qhen i exhale it goes down..also inhaling my lower abdomen goes left a bit...hips seem a little shiteed right- smh. .. got medium pain in lower thoracic and upper lumbar region..after the treatmwnt for about 3 months everything seemed to get worse...he told me i was better..
.smh....i have his diagnostic exam..xrays and tests. Feel totally off. Maybe theres a way i can get help from u online and work out something in terms of payment if u r game....i dont know which way the xray he took is from- the front or back- coz ineed ro know in order to treat myself.guy never answered my questions really....i disnt want to get angry..coz hes older. If u can help...let me know my friend..it would help me alot.. Thanks 4 ur time.
Finally something that's helped! and it's Australian which is even better 👌🏻
Fabulous video!! Thank you!!
you forgot to mention how many minutes a day??????????
How many times a week to do do the foam roller technique?
If i have scoliosis in right position of my body, whaat direction i must do to place the roller? In left or right side of my body?
just found this channel! amazing! tysm! curious if there are any exercises or stretches to fix head tilt. not sure if it's from scoliosis or strabismus? maybe both? my one hip is a little higher also. Found this out after fracturing foot and having hard cast put on. lasted less than 24 hrs in hard cast bc and was booted AMA bc of severe pain it caused hip. worse than the cractures in foot.
i bought myself an inversion table last year; recently, though, my lower back feels like it is squeezed together (i think the decompression videos accurately describes that pain & makes most sense) will be trying those exercises this evening! tysm!!
Hello mister Activ:)
Thanks for answers but what is the vidéo you talk about for my pains:)?!
I whish you a good day.
+Sabrina Boukhemacha whats pains do you have?
Hi! if the thoracic curve is a secondary curve to compensate for the lumbar one, why would you do this exercise? shouldn't you tackle the lumbar one?
Hi! I have scoliosis in my lumbar spine (dextro concave scoliosis). Can I use a foam roller in my lumbar area to make the spine straight, or this move is only for a thoracic scoliosis?
Hello, I have lumbar scoliosis too. Did your scolios get better?
i have thoracic scoliosis where the curve is on the upper part of my spine going to neck. i'm wondering if this method would help me correct my spine
Uhmm I ask what Happened?
Yours tshirt very nice ...what is the name of Company of this tshirt sir...kindly tell me?
Oh thank you. I got it at a budget store. Haha
Thank you
I have mid scoliosis hopes this works
Can you do this on the floor or do you have to be on top of something?
I have 11 degrees Levoscoliosis in the thoracic spine. Will this help me? What side do I try this on?
Am lucky to find your video, as I have mild scoliosis of spine to the right . I hope that my spine will be back to normal using your method. Do you have a video on fixing cervical region, as mine is on mild scoliosis to the left ? Much thanks
I have mild too man. Hope you get better. I'm 19 so I'm hoping my spine corrects itself
FUCK well it definitely won't correct itself without ur help 😔 only exercises for midl ones
Andy Kristanto this comment was 10 month ago so how are you now ?
JoeDaPro7 GT bro ur comment is one month ago
your comment is about a year ago, how it goes with you now ?
Thank you!!!
Hi how can i get it this roller and others, pls give us contact details
Hi. My name is Sydney. I am 11 years old. I had scoliosis 2 months ago when my OT and my nurse saw that my back were curved into a S curve . Now I have back pain due to my scoliosis and my left leg. I need your help.
David Audette Hi sydney . I really reccomend going to a chiropractor and get x-rayed to see the seriousness of your scoliosis . and get treated properly
Great tips 😍
Can it reduce mild scoliosis? (I'm 14 btw)
You need to go get a brace and wear it!!! Man, I wish I wore mine at your age. Got diagnosed at 13. I'm 40 now and it's 100x worse and I'm in constant pain. Can't even get it to crack anymore. At your age, cracking would release all the pain. Get it and wear it! Go see a specialist and they custom make them for you to prevent it from getting worse! When you take it off, you feel like a limp noodle. Lol
The anatomical pic shows curve towards left and that body moves right correct! (Because the pic shows posterior part of body, you are trying that anterior )
So you have to place roller under left T10 - L5 ( I thing) , is that clear???
Very well explained ! 👍
Hello guy:) thanks à lot to answer! Ok I Will do both!
Thanks for those exercices for sciatic but I use since 3 years to do That and I always stiff in my right bottom and low back and wick in my left leg:)
My chiro and ostéophate guy always told me to release my left thoracic spine And left side muscle of the waist first ! If not I Will always have I stiff right bottom and wick left legs!
Know I start to anderstand 2 years after :)) I never listen because and I work my bottom and legs :)
And after your exercice for sciolose , I fell good from all my body!!
Thanks!
+Sabrina Boukhemacha thank you . im glad this video has helped you
I have a 36 for my degree of scoliosis. I have 3 curves but there is one that is the biggest of the 3. Would this technique help me? How long would it take by estimate?
+Alex Ashley this technique will definitely help . but if its at 36 degrees , you should look for a specialist or even scoliosis bracing. speak to your local chiropractor
I have scoliosis and I don't like it. I really want a cure to get rid of it
Beautiful!
How long the time i doing that exercise?
Fitrah Narska like 3-4 mins I think
I have an S shaped scoliosis with the larger curve being on upper right side and the other one being on the lower left side (just above the waist). Should I lay on the foam roller for each of these in sequence?
Can anyone confirm this actually works?
hey how long it will take to recover
Guled Uchiha it depends on the severity of your scoliosis and where it is as well .
It's best to be managed by a chiropractor or a specialist.
the thing is i don’t have scoliosis on my lower back I only have scoliosis on my upper back so I don’t know if the appendix point is different
If I have my concave side on the left, where should I put the towel, on the right or on the left?
on the right side :) it’ll make u look more symmetrical as well. im doing this so i can be more confident in a crop top/bathing suit. good luxk
My scoliosis is 31 degrees, previously 29. How long do you think it will take until it gets to around 10? Is it possible?
Any Results?
@@nickbossbg5636 I ended up never doing this, but I really should have. I might consider doing it but I have also been doing stretches from a video by Austin Goh. They relieve all of the pain but I have not noticed any change in my spine yet.
Please don’t wait. It will worsen much i think… because you started curving so early. If it gets too severe it could require surgery.
Anyone get any positive results from this?
Okay quick question, so when I do the exercise with the foam roller, my rib literally starts to stick out. Is that normal?
So if I my left rib is sticking out, do I lay on right side on the foam roller?
I have the same question, not sure if someone can clarify. thanks in advance
Jason Park yes he showed in the video that if you should put the roller on the opposite side to put the pressure on the curve side and straighten the curve. i have been sleeping with a rolled towel like this and doing this exercise for about a week and i’m slowly but definitely getting results. hope this helped :)
Miquel Sanahuja ^^^
@@semyt3781 have you seen a difference in the curve or is it just relief from the pain?
I will try this I have mild scoliosis idiopathic but I can still straight my body but it hurt my self....
No reply😂😂😂😂
What size foam roller?
I have scoliosis stage 2-3 will this help
Hello sir:)
Great exercice but it helps when you have IT band syndrome as well?! Maybe it´s my small Scoliosis and asymetric back cause of my It band pain?!
it´s better to correct the IT band pain first or do you exercice for sciolosis?!! Or both ?!
In the past I have seen chiropastors in 'Paris for my back pain but it´s away come back after:)) ( the pain).
Thanks you very much for your answer!
+Sabrina Boukhemacha you can always try both . these exercise are pretty safe and can hardly create major damage.
th-cam.com/video/PYnx1Hhj04I/w-d-xo.html
Could i pinch a nerve by doing this exercise?
does it work if you do it on the floor without the ball?
Michelle Tomerlin No
I do not have a box, can I do that on the bed?
Hi sir, ive a right lumbar scoliosis since my sugery of ACL knee. Ive also a Femoral acetabular impegment (FAI). I never pain in my back before the sugery because i do a lots of sports like karate (10 years)... i think the pressure of the right scoliosis make pain in my femoral hips ? thx
+Charles PERSAND please try out the other exercises with foam rolling the lower back and thoracic foam rolling .
on this channel it will definitely help you.
Would this still help if I have a double curve but my bottom curve is a lot worse than the top
Yes! I had 2 curves also. One in the top and one in the bottom half of my spine. I would take a memory foam/ hard pillow and sort of fold it in half and lay my straight side on top of it. If you noticeably have one half of your body straight and the other like an ⌛️then lay the straight side on the roller or pillow.
You could probably position the roller or whatever you use lower to fit where you need it. Just try placing it in diff spots until you feel the difference, you will feel the pain be relieved lol.
I used to do this every night and sleep in that position since it was comfy for me. I ended up getting my spine fused with the surgery from t1-L5 so yea like my whole spine lmao.
But my surgeon did get me X-rays of recreating that position and it made my spine straighten out while I was like that! It ofc would go back to the snake shape after but it was cool to see.
Hope this works for you!
does it make a difference if i lay there for an hour
+CreepaFTW try not to do it for too long u may cause spasming which may make it worst
What is the perfect amount of time for this workout
Vibe 18 minutes
I have an s curve and am fused t9 to pelvis. Would it be effective to do this on my unfused thoracic curve?
My scoliosis is an S curve type.Should I position my foam roller somewhere at the side of my oblique?
I also have an s curve, just means we gotta do both sides for the rib and lower back
so basically your stretching the opposite side???
I have curve same as shown in the picture in this video that means it curves in left and the right part is out. So which side should i use roller left or right. What i think is the curve is on left so it should be used on left but the video is showing on right. Plz help
Can I do this on a flat surface using a foam roller?
+Ish Da God yes definitely . I only did it on a box for camera angle purposes
Man would this really help me out for my levoconvex scoliosis to straightened out to my normal balanced body ?
If you are consistent and also exercise to strengthen and stabilize your muscles, and making sure you keep an erect posture, yup! Worked for me!
Charlamagnes Lip Twitch you don’t have scoliosis anymore?
i have 26 degree of curvature... i have serious lower back pain n pain on right leg... i have spinal bifida .. plz give any suggestions..
I am 74, have always been very active until about 4 years ago due to torn tendons which made walking etc painful. I’ve had a tendon reconstruction of the hip which has been successful, waiting to have the other side done. I am really interested in the exercises you show and wondered if it is something someone of my age should try. I have had scoliosis since my early teens but it is much more pronounced now. Would appreciate your advice, I’m pretty flexible but am concerned I might make things worse.
Try to see a chiropractor. Especially at your age, it might be the less risky option besides trying these exercises.
This is not the Schroth method. She makes it clear that you should never lay on the convex (rib hump) side because it can actually further rotate the spine into the direction it is already rotated, making the scoliosis worse. Be careful with TH-cam exercises, anyone with scoliosis should consult a physical therapist, doctor, or other medical professional before attempting.
what happen if i do that for years?
lets say i have a right convex scorliosis
then it will get back to normal and turn later into a left convex?
I did the foam roller. It literally took like a week to see results. Just keep track and do it everydau
@@nathanchocomint I know this comment is 1 year old but I really need help. If i do this, and if i strengthen my lover lumbar convex side and if i stretch my right concave side will my scoliosis get fixed? I am 16. Please answer me.
@@senbon751 Not sure about the strengthening and stretching but the foam roller will definitely work. I highly recommend seeing a doctor for an X-ray so you know the exact place to put the foam roller at
@@nathanchocomint I know where to put it, I can feel the spine and see it going to left, but will this work only temporary, let's say 1 hour and then the spine will get worse (back as it was) and if i don't do it 1 fay it will get back as it was or will it actually fix it?
@@senbon751 What? No, if the degree of scoliosis lessens then it will stay that way unless you do something to fuck up your spine. I recommend doing it everyday, you should be able to see good results in a week or two
Shall I have to put the foam roller on concave side or convex side. My left shoulder is higher than the right side so I have pain on my left side rib cage
Place it on the side that is straight, not the side that is curved from the spine . So convex I think
Hello me again!
do you have another good exercice for sciolosis?!
I haven ´ t a sciolosis but I have sciolosis position since I have 5 years old! it s nearly the same same thing! Same pain( low back, sacrum, knee, stiff left TFL, neck, shouder, ect ...) :))
+Sabrina Boukhemacha thats incredible . i will try to make a better video in the future . please try my other videos for your aches and pains
There is a serious error. The figure on the left is seen from behind, but the model is from the front, and applying the curve as is is a serious error.
Its not an error as long as the point where the spine curves is the side you are placing the roller.
my right side is higher to I lay on that side with foam roller
Hi just to clarify, so if my right back is higher than my left, my right side will go on the foam roller right?
Yes
Would you know if you had scoliosis?
Hello from Paris:)!
Thanks, l m very happy to Read you!
My pain : sacrum and low back, my shouder, my left ankle, left knee, ( syndrome IT band), left TFL ( inflated, a lot of spam on it. I have some problem of walking with the left leg something.
It s difficult to sera and get up from a chair.
When the thoracic spine is stiff or miss of mobility, it can do sole sacrum problems and make my left leg weak too?!
I do à lot of things with my hips, my sacro illiac with osteophat and chiropratic in France ! But it only a little change.
Maybe l should take care first in my thoracic part first?! Aand after to take out the lactic acid in my gluteus minimum and gluteus medium with compression technic ( ball )
Because when l mobilize the thoracic spine et cervical spine, l feel better in my hips and my ankle ! My ankle get more mobility!! It ns very Strange :))!! Why ??!
Thanks à lot doctor
+Sabrina Boukhemacha try this video . th-cam.com/video/aQ565ee0DrE/w-d-xo.html
The lack of a massive wooden cube stops me from doing this
Can this method fix my thoracic spine. I have scolio upper body to the chest region.?
Mark Yap I am also trying to find a solution for an upper thoracic scoliosis :(
Thank you very match
So can this help make the degree of your curve not as bad? I know not all the way but will it help
+Hallie Bradshaw this will help moderately , however not cure.
I have my kids step on my back anytime it hurt and I get a great pop. :)
The side which is outer is were I should put the foam roller rght ?
Yes
Helllo again! I'm Sabrina from Paris! Just to tell you my pain is more in the groin folds, un the sacrum and low back area . And I have a twisted hips , the left leg wicked than the right! I think a lot a people have this problem! But maybe the problem is not come from my hips but from my rib cage ( dorsal spine). What do you thing?!

im confused if i have levoscoliosis(curved to the left) should i put the foam roller under my left or right side?
I’m pretty sure that would be the left side of you haven’t already figure that out lol. Basically the side of your body that is straight is the side you put it on, it could be diff for you but for me one side of my torso was straight and the other side was an hourglass shape.
under the left side - the “convex” side refers to the side the spine is curved towards, and concave is the hollow side
i have a S curvature so if i bend like this my lumbar curve will worsen as i fix thoracic curve . what can i do
+Dallas Dalton I dont think the s curves get worst as you fix your thoracic. u can do these exercises try it with a foam roller first
Have you tried it? Any changes?
