What are good core exercises for severe scoliosis?!
Question: What are good core exercises for severe scoliosis!?
I have atypical severe scoliosis, and my back hurts every day!. My doctor recommended core exercises, but the only one I know of is sit-ups!. Do you know any core exercises for me to try!?!?
To describe my condition a little better, I'll somewhat say a little about it!.
I have to take painkillers every day!.
I can't sit for more then one hour without it hurting (school is kind of hard it that sense)
I just started doing yoga for one hour once a week again!.
I'm seeing a!.!.!.physiotheripist (sp!?) this Friday!.
It hurts right now (haha)
The pain seems to be in my lower back and shoulders the most!. My doctor says that it's in my shoulder muscles because my back tends to make me lean one way all the time, which has tightened my muscles completly!.
I've gone for a MRI!.!.!.!. and another X-ray test!.!.!. though I'm not sure if that was for my brain or my back (yes!.!.!.this isn't my only condition, just the second most annoying!!)
And!.!.!.er!.!.!.that's all that I can think of right now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The ones I know are walking, swimming, yoga, and pilates!. You can probably get more by talking to a physical therapist!. A PT is also very good in showing you the right way to perform the exercises, such as leg lifts, crunches, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
