Scoliosis is a condition that causes an abnormal sideways curve of the spine, often appearing as an S or C shape. The best physical therapy treatment for adults with scoliosis includes exercises to reduce pain. Your physical therapist will show you breathing techniques with exercises to improve your posture. You will also strengthen weak areas around the spine, including the abdominals. You will work on stretches for areas surrounding the spine that have muscle tension, such as the lower back, trunk, and hips. Physical therapists will educate patients on the best ways to relieve pain, modify activities to help achieve goals, and keep up with helpful exercises.
