1. Can Yoga improve scoliosis
If scoliosis is found, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment, and carefully choose yoga. If you don’t practice properly for a long time, excessive bending and stretching of some yoga movements will be harmful to scoliosis.
Yoga mainly focuses on shaping. Most coaches do not have professional medical knowledge. If they blindly choose to practice yoga to correct scoliosis, excessive flexion and extension will be harmful to scoliosis.
In addition, if you suffer from mild scoliosis, you can do the following exercises. Stand and rotate, feet shoulder wide, arms held flat on both sides, twist the upper body, repeat on both sides. Lie prone and stretch one arm forward with all your strength, and stretch the other arm backward. At the same time, lift your head and straighten your chest. Repeat on both sides. You can also do pull ups, side bends and stretches to alleviate the disease.

If you practice this action too much, it is easy to cause damage to the lamina and ligaments behind the spinal canal. In serious cases, it may also damage the spinal cord, which is called hyperextension injury in medicine.

Improper practice is more likely to cause damage and leave sequelae.

When doing each posture, adhere to 5 complete breaths to ensure that the length of your inhalation and exhalation is equal. When doing this series of movements, you use one leg to do it first, then change the other leg, bend and relax, and breathe deeply. If you still want to do it, you can repeat it;
To make balance easier, you can find a point on the floor, about three or four feet in front of you. Relax your eyes. When you slowly enter the position, concentrate on that point, maintain a balanced posture and breathe deeply;
Exercise 3-4 times a week. Although many movements seem simple, some postures, especially balance movements, are not easy for a beginner, so don’t be afraid of these movements and correct your plan in time.
