There is no best exercise method to correct scoliosis. Common exercise methods include soft tissue release, rotational breathing, core training, muscular endurance exercises, plyometric exercises, and balance training.
1. Soft Tissue Release: The tension of the soft tissues is relieved mainly through manipulation and myofascial relaxation.
2. Rotational breathing: the patient turns the convex side of the thoracic segment to the ventral side during inhalation, and by applying force to rotate the trunk to pull up the concave side tissues, so that the breath is directed towards the concave side of the lungs, thus improving the air intake on the concave side.
3. Core training: Hip bridge exercises, “swallow fly” exercises, prone position “four-point support” exercises and other exercises can be carried out, and attention should be paid to the coordination of respiratory function training in the training.
4. Muscle endurance exercise: Use the maximum load in the patient’s active self-correction, make the patient perform an active self-correction movement and keep it in the whole isometric contraction process for a period of time.
5. Plyometric exercises: Roman chair exercises, barbell bending exercises, pull down exercises, thoracic spine exercises, etc. can be performed.
6. Balance training: can be in the balance mat or Bosu ball and other unstable plane for standing, touching things, throwing and catching the ball and other training.
There are many ways to exercise scoliosis, each person’s specific situation is different, there is no best way to exercise, it is recommended that the patient in the guidance of professionals to carry out the correct exercise, to avoid their own blind exercise, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
