I don't know if this article from the NY Times applies to scoliosis but it caught my eye: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/17/core-myths/?em
Some new research indicates that some exercises that had been thought of as essential for core strength are now thought to be unsafe. I was relieved to see that the exercises my daughter's PT has her doing are the ones that are considered safe. For years, though, she did sit-ups; lots and lots of sit ups; in gym class and dance classes. She was proud that she could do 50 w/o batting an eye. Now I wonder if that has contributed to her pain.
