I've just been diagnosed with a 30 degree curve, along with two compensatory curves. I'm 28 years old, enjoy sports, working out, etc. The surgeon said I've had this since I was a teenager, but I didn't notice anything until a few years ago. He also said that there was nothing that I can do to make it worse or better...I found this hard to believe.
So, I was wondering if lifting weights will make things worse. I've been noticing the rotational effect of scoliosis over the last year or two, and it seems to be getting worse. I've been modifying my workouts, etc.
I guess that I realize that there's no way to improve this, but I would at least like to stop the curve from progressing. I've really been trying to strengthen the muscles in my upper and lower back, as well as my stomach. However, they were already pretty strong, so I'm not sure if this will do any good. Ultimately, I just don't want to make things worse.
Thanks
