My body is fucked and I have scoliosis. It's not super severe but it's bad enough that when I try to do certain exercises I feel my spine pinching and it hurts for days. Anyone else have scoliosis? What exercises should I do? I don't really know how to even start even without scoliosis due to being a skeleton.
>>74138786do some of these stretches. the last one where you put one leg against the wall while lying on the floor is a really good stretch. when i did physical therapy for my scoliosis my pt told me about some of these.
>>74138821It's not bad enough normally to hurt, only after trying to exercise.
>>74138786Is it structural or just muscular? I had really bad posture from playing fps games for thousands of hours but after a couple years of lifting with good form it's completely gone.
>>74138845Structural I think? It curves side to side and twists and is genetic unfortunately.
>>74138855Tight and weak muscles can also pull and twist your body in fucked up positions so go to a doctor and get it checked.
>>74138871I did a while ago, it's definitely structural
>>74138786You might have slight scoliosis. I feel it on OHP and bench so I stopped benching desu and so dips and ring push ups.
>>74138786I have it as well, but probably not as severely as you according to the pain you're describing. As the other anon suggested, try to stretch a lot. My hip flexors are indeed tight as hell which surely doesn't help. Try starting very very lightly. Ironically the exercises you're probably most afraid of like I was (back involved movements like deadlift, back squat, row) are what will strengthen your back to support your spine. Done with good form at weights you can control they will begin to alleviate your back pain, not worsen it.
