It's sad that I have to watch this on just 'how to sit' because of my stupid scoliosis.
I feel you.AND i should sit for a long time to study😑
stay strong and just live with it take it easy
Same istg
I feel you 🙄😭
I've lived with it 34years. You're alright.. Choose positivity❤. Tbh, it no longer bother me. Personally, dancing helps and I like it too.
Very helpful! Thank you, Christine!
Glad it was helpful!
My apologies! I just found the current Instagram info in a post below. I'm new to your group, and I'm so excited to have discovered you! Thank you!
Hi can l successful carry pregnancy with scoliosis and deliver safely without making it worse... Thank you
Should we not sit so as to compensate for the curve?
Madam, can it be useful for combine scoliosis.
Thanks you so much 🥰 (from india)
You're welcome 😊
That is the most uncomfortable chair
Would you post your current instagram account information? I can't find you by searching the information printed above. Thank you! 🙏
Best setting posture on bed?
It's better to sit on a firmer surface!
@@MoveWithScoliosis yes I have foam mattress on bed 😅 . Thank you so much for reply
I just wanted to thank you ❤ you're amazing and I'm very happy to find this supportive content about scoliosis 😍
Super helpful...I understand what you mean re. the S curve and collapsing into the larger thoracic curve.. thank you so much for these helpful, simple tips.
Thank you so much for making this channel💖you are helping so many with this , if I slouch my back hurts so bad so correct posture is important with scoliosis
It really is a struggle just to sit, especially holding a mouse just for ten minutes. I can feel my shoulder muscles becoming really tense… i don’t understand how to do my job if I have to sit in front of the computer most of the time. I do stand up and do exercises. But the effect wears off once I sit again. It’s exhausting
God will help us that have scolosis
My son is 16 years pls He's having severe pain because of scoliosis. Pls I need solution.
Back strengthening will be key for him!
Very helpful! Thank you! Do you have a video on how your posture should be when you're walking etc? Sometimes I notice that I slouch or just don't have a good posture when walking, especially if I'm carrying a bag or backpack, but I'm not sure how to improve it when taking my scoliosis into consideration
Walking is probably the most complicated one and depends on your individual curve pattern! Notice if you have any habits of turning one foot out more than the other or carrying the bag always on the same shoulder. That will give you some clues
@@MoveWithScoliosis do you know a good office chair for a scoliosis because I have a $400 gaming chair and it still don't support me a lot.
@@MoveWithScoliosis can you please elaborate.. My foot is always out while walking why is that.? I have a mild scoliosis. 29yrs old. I have no idea whom to approach...
life changing information, thank you.
you're very welcome!
I have a mild Right thoracic curve. lumbar is ok. I tend to get pain on Left mid thoracic just above bra strap line very close to spine, especially with simple things like brushing my teeth, cooking, washing dishes but usually dont get the pain while working out or doing more active/strenuous activities. Any thoughts on anything specific to target this? Imaging has ruled out anything serious to this area
very difficult to recommend anything without seeing you but my instinct would be to release and mobilise gently. Breathing exercises and restorative yoga can be very powerful for this region which is so hard to access!
Mine is also same thoraic scoliosis and feeling sometime pain at left side of chest while taking deep breath. And how you correct your scoliosis? Can you suggest me some tips
Oh my gosh the scarf under my left backside works!. I don't slump so much even when I relax
Love that!
Hi uhm do you also have scoliosis? Because I checked your channel and it's all about scoliosis, thank you!
Yes I do!
Having two massive curves in my spine and working at a desk 8hrs a day, this might prove to be very helpful! Thank you!
I also put some foam under my left hip while sitting, I figured it out one day and it works so I sit more evenly ;) btw, what do you think about those fitness/sitting balls that makes you sit more actively? Do you think it will make the condition even worse or will be like activating those lazy muscles to support the back?
Great question! I've been talking to physios about this and have come to the conclusion that I won't bother! If you have a certain pattern of sitting then you will just take this onto the cusion as well. Having said that I think a ball can be useful because it makes you get up more often and bounce around :-)
Great explanation. I highly recommend you check out Ed Paget.com He is an osteopath that specializes in scoliosis. He has some great videos explaining scoliosis. He uses the terms S curve and reverse S curve, C curve and reverse C curve. Both very helpful ways to describe scoliotic curves.
Nice tips..certainly I will try to follow you.
Thanking you...for guidance 🙏
You're welcome!
Sitting long hours for exams really causes aching in the back side... Could u pls suggest a solution for this?
make sure that you are well supported with a cushion in your lower back!
@@MoveWithScoliosis Exm halls doesn't allow that😕
@@jollyabraham3740 Disgustingly inhuman
I hope she keeps on posting as this is an older video the channel is so important for us with this Robles….❤❤
Thank you Christine!!!❤️
You are so welcome!
I want to watch tv in my carpeted living room. I have a rare physical hannidicap. The scoliosis has been bothering me lately and making it hard to watch tv. What do i do?
Not sure I understand your question right. What makes it difficult to watch TV? Sitting on a chair?
I am a nail technician..and I have a curve on my right side..I tend to use my right side alot ,cos am right handed.sometimes after work,my body becomes very sore..I want to know if my work is making my scoliosis worse…lemme know what I should do,and if there’s a possible solution or a way I can manage my condition with my work.
for scoliosis it's all about finding balance and resetting! If you use your right hand a lot it probably means your right shoulder is rounded forwards more than your left. If your curve is going to the right you already have a natural tendency for the right shoulder to roll forward. I would start with being aware how you sit at work maybe and then make sure you release the muscles at the front of the right shoulder (pectorials) so they don't shorten even more. It's about resetting after work... Hope this helps?
Is there anything gentle to improve the mod back weakness.
I'm a nurse and I'm just now realizing that my desk is set up completely wrong reinforcing my curve and rotation. (Blue eyed blond with the same curve pattern you have.) I sit on a stool that swivels. I can't move my computer monitor but I can adjust my legs so I unwind my spine rather than making it worse. I've been at this job for two years and wondered why my right hand now rests on the front of my thigh instead of the side of my leg when standing naturally and why it seemed my left leg was shorter than the right! You've been very helpful. I stopped lifting weights last year due to back pain and that really made things even worse. I didn't realize that I was looking in the mirror while lifting and self-correcting my posture and rotation. You may have given me my life back! ❤
I'm so glad the video is helping you! Any exercise including lifting weights is good but you might just have to re-assess HOW you lift the weights and always making sure you adjust which sounds like you're doing so well done!
Thank you madam, it helps my scoliosis left curve
I have 45 degree towards right scoliosis over the past 20yrs+, i had an accident 2 yrs ago and due to long hours of sitting on the wheelchair, now my back muscle seems more weaker and i couldn't breathe properly if i dont lean my back to the left side. Even have difficulty to eat by myself this way. Sometimes, this issue really drains me down so much that i feel life is so miserable for me. All i wish for now is to find a way to sit up straight and to have a proper meal.
Oh .. Im so sorry😢 Allah will help us ! Amin..
Great, Christine!!
Thanks!
Is there a good way to sit while driving?
Hi! Sorry, I’m still a little confused. So if my lumbar curve is curving towards the left, so the left is my convex side, should I be wedging under my left side when sitting? Thanks to much!
yes you can try that. You want to lengthen the right side!
please do it in your office or show by the picture becuse my english language nit good thanks
ok I will try to do another one with an office chair
Thank you, it helps 👌
yo yo yoga yo
My curve is at the bottom of my back bone. I have a S curve but the more curve part is to the end of the back bone right next to my pelvis
I really don't know what's best way to sit cause that's a huge problem
Hi, do you have pelvis or leg pain?
super helpful and eye opening ! thank you so much :)
Is folding leg harmful?
not necessarily! Only if you always do the same side.
Thankyou for sharing this kind of content, really helpfull :D
What if we are in school then what can we do
great question! I might do another video about this
i used to bring a pillow with me whenever i go to school you should do that too
does backjoy or similar products help with sitting properly?
