Been in the dark!

Wow! I never knew there was so much info. out here or so many terms associated with scoliosis. I'm totally lost on a lot of this conversation. I was diagnosed with a 23-degree curvature at age 16, at which point I was told that I was done growing and things should neither progress nor improve for the rest of my life. I was told by the orthopedist that a brace would not help, and that everything was fine. Well, 15 years and 3" of height later, I am not feeling so "fine". With my rib cage beginning to twist and a job that requires an excellent level of physical fitness, I am now looking around for info. on things I can do to help improve my situation and have been really surprised at how much is out here. Seems I've been in the dark for a long time! With my long hours at work I don't have a lot of time to devote to scouring the universe, so if anyone has any advice on one good text or one good source to really get me started, I would be grateful to hear it.
