    this is my favourite UA-cam video no joke. I have struggled with scoliosis. Each month I did x-rays for about 5 months and it kept getting worse. To a point which I was going to put a corse on! I had 20 degrees of curve ness and when you reached 21 it meant they had to put it. So basically I was in the limit. I was then very scared and searched many yt videos until I found this one. I did the exercises about 1 time per week for about 2 months. I can’t even explain how thankful I am seriously! I did and x-ray again, this was the one how would determine if I would wear a corse or not! My spine was practically perfect! From 20 degrees to 6! In only a couple of months. I couldn’t believe it. Thank you so much seriously💛💛

    These exercises worked for me. My story is long but I felt I need to share it to the new ones clicking on the video.
    I had been dealing with scoliosis since the age of 12 due to a back injury. My doctor gave me exercises to strengthen and align my back. I followed them for over a year but felt no improvement whatsoever. I still had terrible pain, even turning my back slightly was painful. I would crouch on the floor not knowing what to do. To be honest, I gave up on the exercises and on my doctor and began doing my own stretches once in a while (not smart of me). Later, at 17 yrs of age, it got worse and was told that I should take medication or pain injections for my back. But I couldn’t do it because of the terrible side effects and after effects. I needed help, but not this kind. I went online looking for scoliosis exercise videos and came across this UA-cam video. I gave it a shot for a month and felt great improvements on my spine. For the first time, I cracked my back and it was amazing! So I continued for 6 months and I no longer had the constant pain. Now I was able to follow this video along with other somewhat intense workouts. Two years later of following this video, I had no more back pain. I went to my doctor and had her run an ex ray of my back and as it turns out, I no longer have scoliosis. Today, five years later, I am still persistent with my exercise and I feel so strong.
    Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart
    ❤️ I understand that there are different kinds of scoliosis and different levels of scoliosis. The process is slow but the benefits are great.
    Even if your scoliosis doesn’t go away, Stretches and moderate twisting on the spine will help with some of the back pain and most likely align, stop or slow down the curving of the spine. I highly suggest this video. Thank you ✌🏻

    I have been doing part one and two by memory 5 times a week for the last 5 weeks, this begins the sixth week. Once a week I use the videos as a refresher to correct any mistakes I'm making in form. My wife, who had me get evaluated by a doctor for scolosis, commented a few days ago that I'm standing straighter and more even now. I'm in my late 60s, but am still flexible enough to do these (and this helps keep that flexibility). So again, thanks for these videos. I find doing this at home is more enjoyable then going somewhere for physical therapy (my doctors okay with this).

So i went to different theraphy my whole life and it never have helped much. I am now 25 and i tried doing this exercise for only 4 months and ive seen results and now going on to 7 months and my back has never been straighter lol. No joke though. It really works!!!

    I was diagnosed with scoliosis as a 13 year old in 1995 and had slight back pain. I did many of the same exercises in this video as taught by my physical therapist, within a year my back was straighten and back pain was gone! I did the exercises until 18. I decided to look up the scoliosis exercises again because of slight back pain in the lower area. Thank you for this great video!

    I soooo love this video and this help me a lot with my dextroscoliosis. I have a very mild scoliosis but have greatly cause pain on a daily basis. I get migraine often as well as pain on my trapezoid muscles but after a week of this exercise on an every other day basis this helped me a lot!!!!!! Even my husband who usually give me a back massage said that whenever he traced my spine it's not like before that the curve of my spine is very obvious. Now, he can't even tell where the curve was. Thank you so much for this video Jessica :D

    Finally a video I can follow along completely! I have no muscle strength at all so many videos that include tons of different planks etc. are impossible for me to do yet, so this video is great.
    Also, the bending at the end really went a bit smoother and farther on my trouble side than it did at the beginning.

The first time I did these stretches I just cried and cried out of relief because I let out so much tension in my spine, which I had no idea I could do! Thank you so, so, so much

    This video is such a help! Especially when one side of my back is feeling tense, it kind of evens your back out and loosens you out.

This pain is the result of scoliosis and wasnt relieved by either a chiro or osteo. I'd turn from side to tummy to side to back to side, doing circles all night long and wake up in a lot of pain. I havent slept so well in months. Thank you 🙌

    I am very impressed! I did all sorts of difficult exercises and I could still feel a lot of tightness on my right side which pulls my upper spine and also hikes my right hip. The first few exercises which I call: recalibration, although extremely gentle and simple, I feel they started to retrain my spine. I no longer feel my pelvis twisted, or at least not as bad. I think the key is consistency and I'm very tempted to do all sorts of other fun exercises or dances which surely will deepen my imbalances but I'll try to do this for a whole month and see what happens. Thanks a lot for sharing 🤗

    if you’re just stumbling past this video, and you have scoliosis like me, and you’re past the age where you can get a brace, so around 16+, then don’t give up hope. While these exercises may not realign your back, you will definitely notice an increase in mobility and a decrease in discomfort. It’s just 17minutes of your day to feel better and possible see improvement in your curve. I’m 17 and have a relatively mild curve, but it bothered me and made me feel lopsided, and I want to try my best to avoid having to get back surgery in the future.
    What I’m getting is that this is totally worth your time, please try these exercises or other exercises. Just please don’t do nothing about it. I feel much better and more mobile after doing these exercises, and i’m sure if i do these in combination with other exercises and stretches, I will see improvements in my curve. Consistency is key

    I am 12 and I have scoliosis and I found out about it 2 years ago , the first doctor I went to really wanted to do a surgery but it was too early , my scoliosis is not very bad , I went to another doctor and helped me under stand more , I am so close to 40on the curve of my spine , but this doctor is not rushing for the surgery. I recently started following this video , my doctor says exercise won’t do any thing . But I have hope that I can get better before my next appointment.
    I can feel some difference when I am wearing my brace after following this video for a about a week or more .
    Wish me luck😊

    It's been about 6 months since I started doing this I do this exercise about 3-6 times every week depending on the week. And it 100% helped. I have a shoulder drop and hip hike cause 1 side is extremely tight cause due to my scoliosis my spine caused me to always tilt to my right side the last 19 years of my life. I'm currently 20 and been doing this and noticed a lot of improvement my right side isn't tight basically at all anymore and my hips actually feel strong and look even. My shoulder drop is still there but Its improved slightly. And I don't feel paint in my back anymore. But I also do about 4 more stretches with this 1 to improve more of my muscles. I also stopped using weights and now only do band workouts and body weight workouts. I also strictly try to sleep on my back for better posture and I try to always sit straight.

    Thanks Jessica! I felt so stiff when I did the side stretches to begin with (I always find them very difficult) but they were a lot easier at the end! I'm going to try doing these everyday and see if I can get less stiffness/pain. Just one question - when we do the bringing the knee over to the right/left side stretch at the end, is it more important to get the knee all the way over or to keep the shoulders on the ground? When i bring my knee over more, I can't keep my shoulder on the floor and wasn't sure which I should be aiming for?

    • @JessicaValantPilates
