I discovered this video 12 months ago and since then have followed the routine religiously once a day, missing only two days. I've lived with mild scoliosis for almost 60 years but would estimate reducing about a 15 deg curve to about 10. Jess says that if you're dedicated you will see some changes happening and I've found that to be true. I encourage anyone to follow the routine daily and to be patient. I don't know if you still look in here from time to time, Jess, but I did thank you on your Facebook page earlier. Thankyou once again anyway.
I am glad to hear it. You could decrease your curve with just doing these exercises?
Are you also using brace together with the exercise? Or just exercise alone?
i’ve been doing this video (and the other one on this channel) for two years now. my curve was about 25 degrees and then it progressed to 39ish degrees or like to the point where if it progressed even a little bit i would need surgery. and let me tell you, this video worked. my curve has gone down to like 34 degrees and i’m not in the danger of surgery anymore. so if you are like how i was, very scared and unsure of the future, just have faith
Are you also wearing the brace together with the exercise?
@@ChanyaM nope because when it did get to the point that i needed to consider getting a brace, i had almost stopped growing so a brace would have been almost ineffective
I had been doing this for months along with the more advanced video exercises early this year. My curvature showed improvement, from what my spouse noticed. I later had an arm injury (unrelated to exercise) and had to stop it for the summer, while I did physical therapy (stretching and later weight training) to restore my arms full function. This was successful.
I'm now back doing the Pilate scoliosis exercises again, and have continued also with my upper body work along with long walks.
I'm in my late 60s, and am in pretty good shape for my age despite the above challenges. I intend to continue daily exercise including the ones from your videos.
I'm glad your curvature improved!
really? does your spine back to normal shape?
Hanno the Phoenician I know this is three years old but I just needed to let you know what a great encouragement your comments were! I am nearly 69 and have moderate scoliosis. There is hope for me! I too am in pretty good physical shape but have not addressed the scoliosis til now. I am determined to at least be more flexible and decrease pain in back legs and hips. (Didn’t realize I had scoliosis til about 5 years ago). I was a dental hygienist for 35 years.
Can you please give the links of the more advanced video exercises? I hope you got better btw
Hi, Jessica.I work out in the gym regularly and couple of weeks ago my muscles in the center of my back hurt so much while doing an exercise, I was literally out of breath, I couldn't move or anything. I visited a doctor and was diagnosed (If I can say that) with scoliosis. I have tried your videos, and It helped me a lot even after first try, so I will keep on doing it. Thank you very much and keep up the good work ;)
I'm glad it's helping!
How are you now :)
Thank you, I have scoliosis and I've had pain for over the last few months! These exercises seem to be relieving the pain! Thanks again.
Megan Ty I'm so glad! Thanks so much for reaching out and please keep me updated and how you are feeling in the future!
such a great workout routine! it feels nice, and it matches what my doctor has recommended. I also enjoy the image - pleasant colors and contrast, neat!
I absolutely love your scoliosis videos! Thank you so much!!!
Hi Jessica! I have developed scoliosis in the last year due to neurological issues caused by heavy metal toxicity, fibromyalgia symptoms, combined with my job. I have really been benefitting from your exercises while I go through treatment for the other issues. Thank you. And thank Jehovah! I didn’t have to quit my job yet.
I'm so glad you are benefiting!
thank you for this, i have been doing it for a week and i am feeling my body move in ways i haven't felt for years, can't wait to see long term benefits. thank you
How has the progress been so far?
Thank you. Best exercise for scoliosis on UA-cam, I believe I have tried them all.
Wow! Thank you, Jessica, for this video. I am 27; I was diagnosed with scoliosis just last week after complaining to a doctor about the pain and weakness I'm having for months. A date for exercise is fixed to be 31st March, 2015. This is interesting
Great moves, thanks !
excellent video! Thanks Jessica!
thanks a lot, very helpful exercises for me.
Thank you so much. This is very helpful

I'm so glad your pain was better!
Hi Jessica, thanks so much for these videos. Whenever my scoliosis bugs me, I do these and feel much better. Since practicing these consistently, I've grown 1.5 inches- and I'm an older teen who stopped growing quite a while ago! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad to hear that!
Been doing these exercises for the past couple of day, and my back pain has decreased pretty significantly! Thanks Jess!
Wonderful!

Excellent video
Thank you for your Video, my son has scoliosis, he will try this exercise.
I have just started these exercises and honestly I feel I can move so much better just after 4 days I do it twice a day. I have S curve and a rotation I cant wait to see the outcome in the long term. Thank you x
Wonderful!
Does it work? I doubt.
This exercise helped me alot ..
I just did both of your scoliosis videos. I’ve have scoliosis for 45 years. I feel great! Thanks.
You're so welcome!
Hi there :)
I've recently started doing Pilates at home, using your vidoes primarily and then I discovered this video! I have scoliosis. It's not a bad form but it really effects my right shoulder, it slopes down and sticks out quite significantly. I've only been doing this exercise for a couple of days but I really feel the benefits already and if I carry on and i physically see a difference I will be one happy lady!
I think your vids are amazing and it's such a benefit that you're a physio therapist so I know that everything I do is going to do wonders for my back and posture!
Thanks again!
Chloe - Thank you so much for the feedback and letting me know how the video is helping! I just love hearing stories like that :) Please keep in touch and let me know how it continues to help in the future! I post additional info and physical therapy/Pilates tips at my website www.pilateshappyhour.com, so feel free to pop over and say hi there as well. Take care!
Good day Jessica, Thank you very much this helped me a lot
I'm so glad!
I hate how it makes me feel wish it could just disappear
chungu ngosa I've had scoliosis since 2011 and the best way I've dealt with it was swimming but I moved far away from water so if you have a pool swimming is best
@@madelinetucker7777 can you please tell more about the effect of swimming with you? did it decrease the curvature?
It improved allot I also found what my natural body weight was for my high and tried my best to keep it as to not add stress to my back
I have had scoliosis for my entire life and being consistent with these expertise has helped a lot! She has another video for scoliosis exercise that I absolutely love
@@britt8870 Thank you for sharing this!
I’m loving your Pilates excersizes and particularly ones for scoliosis. I tend to tense up in my neck and shoulders when doing bridges. Can you suggest any tips to stop me going tense!
Thank you for taking the time to create this vid! I have recently been to physio and yoga/pilates was recommended so I was so pleased to come across a video specifically designed for scoliosis! I will do this every morning and fingers crossed for some kind of pain relief :)
I hope it helps!
Super video! You help me so much.
+Ema Kozić I'm so glad!
well first of all i wana say very very thxx to you because i am suffering form scoliosis (s) shape curve and your exercises very helpful for me.if it possible upload more scoliosis (s) shape exercises and once again THXXX.
I did this for a couple of minutes and I feel better. Great job, very informative:) thanks
Tika - I'm so glad you liked it!
thank you mam jessica
Thank you Jessica! I will definitely try this! I have been suffering scoliosis for many years. I did not know that there are actually exercises that will help.
Thanks!
yumi arah Let me know how it goes! A specific exercise program can be fantastic for scoliosis!
yumi arah did it work?
It really feels like I'm in a class I feel like o could do this every morning if I have time ☺️☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️
I haveScoliosis this Exercises is very good thank you
It relieve my aches
I downloaded this video and part two and started using the first to do the exercises. Some are easier than others, and I intend to continue working this system. It seems to affect those areas that need it. So, I'm quite satisfied and pleased with this video. Thank you for posting these on U Tube. I'm old but in good shape for my age, and had ignored my scoliosis for many years but finally saw a doctor who recommended physical therapy. I prefer to do it at home and this will allow me to.
+Hanno the Phoenician I'm so glad it's helping! You are never too "old" to feel better! :)
it really helps me overcoming my back pain thannnnnnnnnk you
Great!
Thanks thanks thanks. Its so hard to find Scoliosis stuff on here 😁❤️
You're so welcome!
hi Jessica, I'm 56 years old and I have recently been diagnosed with scoliosis in my lower spine and my neck (so an s shape). I have always been super fit and done a lot of high impact exercise classes which I'm now worried has added to the bends in my spine? I also have frozen shoulder at the moment (which is how I came to find out by chance about the scoliosis) after having some x-rays done. The frozen shoulder obviously limits my movement even more but I want to start trying to work on everything together to get back to being able to exercise properly again as soon as possible. I was unaware that you could improve the bend until coming across your channel on here so I am so pleased to find your exercises. I've started doing them as best i can along side frozen shoulder exercises and hoping that I can maybe even get my hips back in alignment as well as my spine straighter as at the moment they are very uneven. Is there any other things you recommend to do or avoid to speed up recovery please?
nici xx
Jessica I just found you! I was doing yoga to help with my scoliosis pain & found out that what I was doing was making it worse. I think video to strengthen my core is & the proper stretches are beginning to help. I also see a chiropractor for muscle release technique. Thank you so much Wanda
I hope you feel better!
Jessica Valant Pilates I am thank you
Hi Miss/Misis Jessica! I got scoliosis and my curvature is 50 degrees. I am 12 years old. Thanks for this video, I need this a lot, my doctor said I have to do physical therapy. I am wearing yamamoto brace.
I'd also like to thank you for this video! I have a moderate to serious Scoliosis condition and I have been doing Pilates daily for a quite a while, it's the only thing I've found helps. I honestly believe it is a miracle cure! I am only 22 years old and I suffer from quite bad Sciatica as a result of my Scoliosis, do you have any advise on techniques to help with this?
Your videos are fantastic thank you so much for uploading this! You are one of my miracle workers.
:o)
Sarah - that's great to hear and I'm so glad you have been doing Pilates for a while - what a difference it makes! Sciatica can be associated with scoliosis as the nerve becomes pinched from assymetries in the pelvis. The exercises you are doing should help address this as they hopefully decompress the area around the nerve. I of course recommend physical therapy as well! Visit me at www.pilateshappyhour.com for more tips, and you can contact me directly there 😊
Thank you. I can't do that last one my back curves outward like if I was doing a curve towards behind me. How can I do something to help this?
subbed!
I will be 69 next month and didn’t know I had scoliosis (moderate) til about 6 years ago. I have been doing stretches since then but it was simple stretches geared more to seniors and my discomfort was getting worse. I found your videos on Utube and am determined to keep at it! It’s really hard and sometimes I feel worse after the routine than before but I am careful to listen to my body and to know how far I can go. I thank you so very much for your encouragement! You are a lifesaver and I can’t wait to ‘graduate’ to your more difficult routines. Side note: I have been to doctors of every kind and done PT massage chiropractic you name it I have done it! Yet you are the only one that I feel is really helping me.
Which exercises are good for lateral hip tilt and one shoulder down?
I have had a 30 degree curve since I was 14. This video and the second one has helped me a lot. But I don’t understand about keeping the legs active ?
Thank you Jessica. What size ball should I get?
por favor envíen ejercicios para escoliosis, en español
Thank you for your videos! I hate exercising, but these seem to work, I've seen a difference in my posture in the past week. Keep it up! Also, you're gorgeous
i have scoliosis and the last time i checked (2 years ago) my curve is about 46 degrees, and i started doing pilates almost a year ago and i feel amazing and i love doing bridges especially on the reformer bed, i basically love all exercises done on the reformer bed cause i really feel the stretches with it. my instructor also told me to do the child pose whenever i feel tense which i think is good, it's very relaxing.
+Aisya Putri The reformer is wonderful for exercises! It sounds like you have a great instructor!
How u measure it
What video could I watch after this (you said an ABS video), I have a scoliosis, has gotten worse over time. This video helps me, after the first time, I felt my inner thigh muscles working when walking like you said that helps the pelvis in turn helps my back. thank you.
Thank you so much for making these videos because I’m on the break of having to have surgery on my back so I hope this helps a little more because I really dint want to have surgery or have to wear a brace
I hope it helps!
Yoga doesn't work. I had scoliosis for 13 years.
Hello @Jessica Valent Pilates, I have a question, I have uneven shoulders (one hip is higher). Would you still recommend me doing these exercises? Or will it make my shoulders worse? Since I don't think my spine is the problem... Thank you, I would appreciate a short reply :)
hi i have a mild scoliosis do you think i can recover from this? i just recently know that i have this and it breaks my heart to hear this i have an "s-spine" now said by the doctor.. i feel pain at my back already..
Hi Jessica I had scoliosis since I'm in college. It was not treated right away. So now I'm 52 years old I fell the pain in my right shoulder down to my right pelvis. It's so uncomfortable that I cannot sit longer especially that I work in the office from 8-5pm. Appreciate very much if you could help right exercise to ease the pain and to correct the curvature even if am old already. Thank you very much.
I am sorry about your pain and I hope the video helps!
Hey ny name is sareen. A week ago i was diagnosed with mild scoliosis. I already have bilateral cervial ribs. And now beacause of scoliosis. Also ive gained alot of weight becausr of all the pain killers. I have been looking for exersises for my condition and i came across your video. It would be great help if u suggest something!
Hi Jessica, I have geriatric scoliosis and love your workout. I have one major problem with it: I can't get close to doing the "mermaid" pose. It's just impossible for me. I suspect that I have some tight areas in my hips. Perhaps you could suggest different workouts to target this area. It would be most appreciated. Mark
Hi jessica i am following this excercise for scoliosis and how many times do i have to do this in a day? And also,i am following your another video for scoliosis.Please reply,it would be very kind of you cause i have been suffering since 2007.
i have two type of scoliosis can i do this mouvement !!
Hi there do you have any other workouts focussing on back?
Yes! Scoliosis exercises part two and also a Pilates for low back pain.
Can I correct my 10° scoliosis with these exercises?
I am developing mild arthritis in my lower back because of my scoliosis (real scoliosis, with surgeries and everything but still a severe curve, not "I have scoliosis and I have a 5 degree curve bs), do these exercises help with lower back arthritis or are those different exercises? Does yoga help improve arthritis or helps prevent it?
Hi, I have a set of scolio exercises my therapist gave me. I always bend on one side only so I'm a little confused if I should do bending exercises on both sides as shown in your video...
+izzamga Some therapists do teach only bending on your limited side. I tend to teach my patients and clients to do both for various reasons, but you can definitely modify this to only do one side! Click the link in the video and you can purchase my full length home workout for scoliosis. In that I talk about why I teach both sides. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. It's really great and easy to follow for a beginner like me. I don't know if it will fix my scoliosis but it did relieve my back pain when I tried it. Will definitely be doing this daily. 🙂
Hi Jessica, I understand this is an old video but I really hope that you reply me. What is the adequate workout period for people with scoliosis? For instance, can I do a full one hour with the exercises you have taught us in both of your 'Improve Scoliosis' videos ? Or is that too much for my back? I HOPE YOU REPLY!! THANK YOU :)
It really depends on your back and your body! Stop if you feel pain and listen to what feels good :)
Hi Jessica, I had been diagnosed with scoliosis for over 8 years now. I have been doing very minor exercises till now. I want to reduce my abdominal fat so that it puts less pressure on my spine. Will these exercises help reduce abdominal fat? Also, I go to the gym for treadmill and cross-trainer. Is that okay?
Could these excersizes if done for a long period of time end up avoiding surgery? Please reply im only 13 so im still growing ive got a 42 degree curve and i do swimming and im also about to get a back brace so could my back be straighter?
Thanks. X
Hello,Jessica! I asked you under your another video but you haven`t answered me yet. Lets`hope you can do that here, please! Are these exercises and in your other video good for ppl with pain from Scoliosis? I have first degree Scoliosis but as i feel pain and shacking my legs and arms... I have been doing physical therapy but doesnt help much. Doing another of ur video exercises for 2 weeks but i think maybe needs more time like 2 months. So are these exercises improve pain reliefing also?
what kind of ball are you using there? is it beneficial to get one?
Is both left and right for S curve scolio?
Does this work for S shaped scoliosis? P,ease answer
Hello Jessica, This looks very good. I did a course of Pilates once but the teacher was an ex-ballet dancer. I had difficulty keeping up! You pace this nicely, thank you. One question - why do you 'inhale' when compressing the diaphragm e.g. bring the head forward? Logically one would do this the other way round. Does this put extra 'squeeze' on the muscles? Or is there another reason?
You can breathe here wherever it feels best to you :)
Hi Jessica, I would like to know if my scoliosis can produce a potbelly. I am not a fat person, but my belly really sticks out and is very hard.
Will Fixing scoliosis will make you taller? I mean,alot of people can tell am bent.
Son Goku I had the surgery and I only grew an inch
It depends on how bad or how the curvature(s) are
Can you do spinal rotation in scoliosis? I can see in this video that some exercises involve some rotation like that one that targets the obliques. My doc said not to do rotation as it further worsens the curve because of the movement itself? hope u'll address my concern nevertheless great video thanks xxx :)
Each curve is different so you may want to consult your doctor about your specific curve and if this workout would be effective!
Jessica do we need surgical treatment for 60 degree curve
plZ plz help me I also have same problem
I’ve had scoliosis for 70 years and my doctors always tell me not to rotate. I have a severe s curve that’s still changing & rotating.
my favorite tally hall sonf
So frustrating. I'm not overweight, but the curve of my spine and how badly my belly is distended because of it makes it nearly impossible for me to sit up with my legs straight out in front of me, let alone do any of the stretches that involve leaning forward.
God I was hoping this stuff could help me but I'm wondering if it's even gonna make a difference if I can't even come close to doing most of these exercises.
Doesn't feel like I'm doing good stretches.. just feels like I'm moving in ways that are going to pop things out of place. :/
Please teach us the exact exercises we need to do everyday in order to perform the splits in the future.PleaaSeeee! All people from youtube just show us how to the splits but not all the exercises we can do everyday to get there.
To perform the split we need hip and hamstrings exercises?There's something more?
I actually can't do the splits and don't do it in this video, so I don't teach it to others :).
Is this routine helpful towards deep lower back scoliosis? (40 degrees) or is there another video or routine I should be using for my situation?
I think it can most likely be helpful!
I have minor upper right thoracic scoliosis what excercise is applicable for me
You should do specific side shifts to the left in the upper part of your body. See scoliopilates of Katherina Thek on UA-cam or find a trained therapist. And then integrate this into all general exercises.
Jess, can I do these exercises if I've had surgery for scoliosis? I have hardware in my back, so just wondering if it's safe. (herrington rods on both sides of the spine, done in 1992)
Versannette Blackman Hi! Without doing an evaluation on your back I couldn't specifically say and would recommend you discuss with your doctor. I have worked with clients with hardware and Herrington Rods in the past and I usually work on stabilizing through the hips and pelvis and upper body, as well as the core. The hardware will prevent a client from moving the spine segmentally, but they can commonly still do exercises in a neutral spine position. I hope that helps!
This is the exercise of the upper back or the lower back
I'm from India
Please tell me
hi! I was taught that rolling up (at minute 12.:50) without bending your knees can be dangerous for the lover back.
It depends on the person and the abdominal strength and the way it's done. At the gym with a heavy medicine ball maybe, but with control and no pain it can be helpful.
ok, thanks
at the wide straddle position I literally cannot bend my body forward, I try stretching and pushing as far as I can (without causing too much pain) - a lot of the positions where you have to sit up right with your legs forward/stretched out I can barely hold myself up. I've actually had surgery on my scoliosis with a titanium rod bolted into my spine though so I try not to push myself too much. I'm thinking of seeing an actual physiotherapist though, but I do pilates and yoga a few times a week, do you think it's worth going into see an actual physio?
Leigh Dorei Yes I definitely would recommend seeing a physiotherapist! Good luck!
