I thought I would try to get a thread going that might be beneficial to each of us. Over the years we have all tried differeent strategies to manage the various pains associated with scoliosis. So what what works best for you?
For me it would be swimming. I took swimming lessons 5 years ago to learn the proper way, but I was never able to build up the endurance to swim any period of time. Over the summer my back was so bad I needed to try something different so I went to the pool daily to swim. My endurance increased and now I swim laps 5 times a week. I find the swimming stretches the paraspinal muscles and keeps them from limber and strong. While not a cure it helps me get through the week.
What about you?
