Post by clark »

i found out i had slight scoliosis, and i have to wait a year to get a brace, and the doctor told me scoloiss isnt bad
here problems when i workout
mainly spine is shifted slightly to right so right side is alittle more "out" not really noticeable, and i have a muscle imbalance to, (i always knew it) and a next major factor is when i walk, right foot keep limping and after awhile right calf starts hurting, left is kinda straining but its far better than right.
well thats all problems with scoliosis

You need to be careful not to do anything to aggrevate the scoliosis.

I wouldn't advise any strength conditioning until it's at least braced and given the all-clear, so you have some support for the Back, thne you could possibly if permitted by a medic, do bodyweighted stuff. Hopefully in time the slight listing of the spine to the right, can be corrected, until your spine is vertically normal again.

Have you seen a physio about possible stretching / light flexibility exercises, or maybe something like complimentary options?
