If your scoliosis is structural, which it almost certainly is, I believe that no amount of postural change will have any permanent affect on your curves. However, I think there may be certain exercises/techniques that can help you look and feel as though your curves have lessened. For example, check out http://www.yogaforscoliosis.com.

Thanks for the advice.My daughter who is 12 and a half was recently said to have sciliosis and is done growing.I notice she sometimes has bad posture when sitting and I always get on her case,and don't want her curves to get worse because of it.

My daughter is a dancer and her ballet teacher stresses good posture. Even with good posture, her curve continued to grow and she had to have surgery. Having good posture and strengthening your back muscles help to slow it sometimes.T12- L5 fusion 1975 - Rochester, NY
