Plank for Scoliosis Treatment: Proper Form and Common Mistakes

Описание: Treatment for scoliosis involves strengthening of the spine and core muscles as well as maintaining good alignment during the exercise. In this video we demonstrate how to do a plank with good form for someone who has scoliosis. This is a common exercise in the treatment of scoliosis and we discuss how to do it properly.

One of our scoliosis patients helps us demonstrate correct form in doing a front plank. With scoliosis, there tends to be hip rotation or rotation in the thoracic spine. Controlling this rotation or arching of the low back is essential to maintaining as much symmetry as possible. Strengthening the muscles while keeping good alignment is helpful in treating scoliosis.

This video is a great one for anyone who has scoliosis and wants to begin strengthening to either reduce back pain or reduce the risk of progression. A strong core will definitely help with back pain, as well as improve postural control and strength. Make sure to stop if you are having pain or any specific questions if this exercise is right for you.
