There are
several alternatives to cure Scoliosis including surgery, medicinal treatment,
bracing, physical exercises and lot more. Among all, physical exercises combined
with bracing treatment are rated the best alternative to kick-off this spine
deformity. An exercise therapy for scoliosis deserves some merit because they aim
to correct the cause by retraining the body instead of forcing it to be
straighter. Exercises for scoliosis attempt to restore better muscle tone, promote
healthy spinal curvature, improves the core strength and provides symptomatic
relief. These are the most powerful and effective exercises that helps cutting
down the shooting pains popping out from different parts of body especially the
neck and the back area.

and stretch opposite arm to front, hold for few seconds and switch to another
side. Repeat this for few sets and until you achieve the stability. Performing

and aids in maintaining correct posture.

Lie down
back on the back, extend your arms to the sides, bend your knees towards the

opposite side and repeat the same for few sets. This exercise will strengthen
both the hip and spine as well as lower the pain in these areas.
