I do believe there is something to the torso rotational strength training - and for that matter Clear. I also believe that the successes we see in each, as well as many other therapies should be studied in depth to help determine who would do best with what. The reason such studies are not available is a simple lack of funding - grant money simply does not exist, nor is there a specific scoliosis entity under NIH that would allow for such funded studies. Please someone correct me if I am wrong about that.
I too lived most of my life pain free but found that by my late 50's that pain was becoming an ever increasing companion. That led me to Spinecor for adults seven months ago and life has been vastly improved ever since. Along with Spinecor I am using some Schroth exercises which seem to strengthen the torso. So, yes I agree that weakened torso muscles may be largely responsible for curvature increase as someone with scoliosis ages.
