Scoliosis is the abnormal curvature of the spine. It can present daily challenges to those who suffer from it. There’s a lot of different treatments for scoliosis ranging from bracing to surgery. A treatment that’s becoming more popular is yoga. Yoga helps to improve your flexibility and strength which can help when combatting scoliosis. Here’s how yoga can benefit you:

• Building Core and Back Strength: Yoga helps to strengthen your core muscles and the muscles that surround your spine. Strengthening these muscles helps to reduce tension and strain on your back. 
• Improving Flexibility: Scoliosis can lead to muscle imbalances where one side of your back becomes tighter than the other. Yoga stretches can help to alleviate the tension and stabilize your spine making daily tasks easier to accomplish.
• Enhancing Posture Awareness: Yoga focuses on the practice and alignment of your mind and body. This can help to fix the spine shifts caused by scoliosis.
