If you are experiencing back pain that you might think is early-onset symptoms of scoliosis, then you should start moving your back. Did you know? Doing exercises is being recommended more and more as a treatment of early scoliosis cases in Singapore.
In this article, we would talk about some basic exercises that would improve your condition and of course, decrease the pain you feel as a result of your scoliosis. Here are four exercises that you should proactively do.
Stretches
These round back and flat back work for scoliosis because it helps you to connect your back extensor to your abdominals. Sometimes, your spinal and muscular imbalances which are connecting the back extensors and your core can be challenging and hard. So, these exercises need your core to be stable to avoid a flared rib cage. Also, this exercise is a basic move in Pilates classes in Singapore, so watching tutorial videos can help a lot.
Leg work
Leg press standing is a great leg work exercise for scoliosis as it allows you to work on your balance. Keeping your posture aligned and not leaning forward. It’s also good to elevate your body parts which you need to initiate the movement from your hamstrings. However, keep in mind that scoliosis balance is always a challenge. This movement keeps the body tall and long from the crown of our head which is the lengthening sensation.
Lateral Flexion
This is a wonderful rotational exercise for the upper body part. The twisting or the rotation helps to stretch out the tightness throughout your back and your rib cages. Due to your uneven spine position, it will be much easier to perform on one side than it will be on the other. So, remember that it’s important to stretch intensely on the tight or the short side.
Back Extension
Back extension is really important for scoliosis, the muscles and the back are often very tight and weak. However, some of the back extension exercises are dangerous if the clients are not aware of their body alignment and awareness. Most clients get lower back pain after practising the back-extension exercise, and this is happening because they tend to work on their back and not their back extensor.
