Scoliosis Treatment

Scoliosis is a lateral deviation of the spine. Practicing asymmetrical asanas is of great help in working with misalignments in the spine. The appropriate asymmetrical movements can prevent the development of spinal misalignments and to correct existing ones.

In adults, a cure may not be possible, however yoga postures can help reduce the extent of the problem, thereby decreasing the symptoms and minimizing or relieving associated functional problems.

When developing a specialized yoga therapy for scoliosis, we take into consideration the following:

• The position of the misalignment in the spine
• The direction & extent of the deviation
• What other symptoms are present?
• What is the person’s strength, flexibility, age, and general fitness?
