Hello. Here's my scoliosis Xray in March this year. I exercise and manage to keep pain at bay most of the time. Currently I'm having an unusual problem: I´m ok daytime, but have pain at night. I usually sleep on my left side. Perhaps its time to change my mattress? If so, can you recommend a mattress quality that might help? The leading supplier here is Tempur. Thankyou.

Here’s a super gentle exercise you can try on those really painful days — especially if you have scoliosis or recurring low-back pain. You can keep it as a dynamic movement to warm up your spine, or hold it as a soft stretch. If you feel any pinching, try rounding your lower back slightly to reduce the curve and make the stretch more comfortable. What you're basically doing is moving your spine left and right without the pressure of gravity, which makes it way easier and reduces that annoying pinch. Try this whenever your back feels extra sensitive or when you want to gently target one side of your curve. 👉 Want me to show you more easy movements for painful days?

Let’s review this together—this video is definitely worth watching. Almonte Physical Therapy walks through two super effective scoliosis exercises that really show the power of good cueing and technique. The first exercise focuses on a reverse S-shaped curve, using resistance bands to fire up the upper and lower back with an isometric hold. The cues to open the elbows and breathe into specific rib areas make the movement look smooth, intentional, and very Schroth-inspired. Then we move to a second exercise centered on a primary right-side curve. Even though the X-ray shows a smaller compensatory curve, the therapist explains why working on the main curve can improve both. Overall, it’s a great breakdown—and seeing it in motion makes it even clearer. Give it a watch so we can go through it step by step.
