Remember, if it doesn't make sense then it probably isn't true. In everything.Last edited by Pooka1; 02-18-2013, 08:05 AM.Sharon, mother of identical twin girls with scoliosis

Originally posted by Pooka1 View PostAll measurements are +/- 5* at best. It would be absurd for a brace manufacturer (or anyone) to make claims as if this precision didn't exist. And so they don't.
But anyway it seems that probably they are at least not sure that at least 5° degrees may be reduced in a permanent way, although they may be not claiming that.

When you wear them, you trade pains. The spine feels better at quite a price.
Its hard for me to get exited over bracing.....
I do feel strongly that scolis that are having full fusions wear them so they know what being totally fused is like.
I still have my brace....but my “beach ball” is now too huge to even think about getting it on. LOL

Get outside and walk!

Originally posted by titaniumed View PostAs an athlete all my life, I was always doing physical things that were fun. The only time I “targeted” any muscle group per say was when I would run up and down stairs for skiing training and I didn’t do this much since I would rather be skiing. (smiley face) You can see why it didn’t make all that much sense to me. Why would I use a treadmill when I could simply take a walk and see the sights? Why would I ride an indoor bike when I could go for a ride? I would rather be outdoors in the clean air doing things I enjoyed rather than making it a chore…….

Originally posted by titaniumed View PostFor those that want to target the abdomen, there are a list of exercises listed here. The bicycle crunch gets first place, but can be hard for scolis to do……The exercise ball comes in 3rd place and having one of these balls for exercising really is a must for scolis…..I use mine while watching TV. Just sitting and rolling around on it exercises the abs.
Please note…..
The benefit of focused training on the "deep core" muscles such as the transversus abdominis has been disputed, with some experts advocating a more comprehensive training regimen.[10]
My daughter wants since time ago a fixed bicycle. Today her Pt said her that she not agree so much because is so boring.
I don't know yet if she is afraid for jumps.. and certainly something boring for someone may be very fun for other, why not?
Wich is in 2nd place?
