@@TSCConnect so should i be sleeping on the concave side? so if I'm a levoscolioss then sleep on my right?

It may help decrease some symptoms, depends on what is causing your issues in the first place though

Yes, shoes can definitely impact our posture and spine as their shape and structure affect how our feet and leg muscles move and work. For shoes, there's no recommendation for types specifically FOR scoliosis or kyphosis. High heels have cons for many reasons; aside from squishing the toes, it transfers the body weight into the balls of the foot and the pelvis often tips forward to accommodate the changes in weight distribution. That can result in increase lumbar lordosis (scoop of lower back) which is also typically over emphasized in hyperkyphosis, so we wouldn't recommend high heels FOR any specific condition. Barefoot / minimalistic shoes have their benefits but would require a thoughtful adjustment period to minimize risk of injury. Please seek guidance from a Physiotherapist if you're going to transition to these shoes, especially if you're planning to train/run/workout in them.

@@TSCConnect Thank you so much for the elaborate answer! You're amazing! ❤️

There are hundreds of exercises that you can do in the gym, including all the ones we have in our workouts on our channel, the technique for any exercise matters more than the choice of the exercise. You can add weights to any of these. Bodybuilding is about choosing the right weights/sets/reps/breaks + diet if you want to build muscle and lean out. On this channel we focus on general strength and encouraging people with scoliosis to feel safe when exercising, and don’t focus so much on esthetics goals like size or composition.

In a brace, sleeping position doesn't matter as much since the brace maintains the corrective alignment of the spine throughout the night.

Couch cushion? Folded blanket or towel?

Definitely a relief when you realize you don't have to change your sleeping position! "Properly" is subjective though, because we still really emphasize sleep quality, regardless of sleeping position, as it impacts so many aspects of our general health. So if you have to move around, it's okay.

I thought lying on your back is not a good position…

I've been sleeping mostly wrong

Hello! That's a fairly specific question so we can't give medical advice on KZfaq, and your chiropractor may have had specific reasons for recommending the floor. What we say to our clients here in our clinics is to sleep on a firmer mattress which is typically supportive enough while still being comfortable.

If you have scoliosis: Put pillows under your curve so it goes the opposite direction atleast thats what I do:)

Yes that's fine for scoliosis!

thanks for watching!!

Actually if you watch the full the video, it shows what not to do AND then recommended sleeping positions to do instead of those. Look at: - 2:36 - 4:35 - 5:49 - 6:12

High heels change your postural alignment, most notably by increasing anterior pelvic tilt, which increases lumbar lordosis.

Try sleeping with your head, neck, and back elevated. So the trunk is leaning back but not lying all the way flat. However, please see a medical professional if symptoms persist

Not necessarily, please see a healthcare professional to get a proper assessment and diagnosis.

@@TSCConnect thank you i am still consulting physiotherapist actually I am in the field of IT.

💙

Likely supine (on your back) as it doesn't lean into either lumbar or thoracic curve

@@TSCConnect Thanks!

No, they’re different conditions. Some people have both but they’re not necessarily related.

Yes many! We're still in the process in making more kyphosis-specific videos, however have you checked out our kyphosis-friendly workout playlist? kzfaq.info/sun/PLpr1aOXw16nrFC5tbgAHDz8NsMa8iNGyZ

@@TSCConnect I have! although I meant specifically for sleeping positions, with scheuermann's lying on my back is more or less impossible without a large stack of pillows

It depends on what type of scoliosis someone has. If the curve is due to a muscle imbalance, then significant improvements can be made. If it’s a structural scoliosis where the vertebrae change shape, you may slow the progress or even improve it a bit, but unlikely to correct 100%

You can work with a healthcare provider who’s trained in scoliosis to determine the nature of your curve. If they have access to your X-rays, that would be ideal

@@TSCConnectplease tell me what direction is my curve and is it structural or postural scoliosis? I don’t know

@@ridhamsoni7197 unless we see you in-person, we can't provide any medical advice or diagnosis. Where are you located?

Incline is fine as long as it's not just your head and neck that are lifted (which would cause rounding of the upper back)

If you have pain when you wake up or in the middle of the night, please see a medical professional because there are many possible reasons for discomfort.

Depending on how big the curve is and if it is getting bigger, it may be serious but maybe if it’s stable it’s not a problem

@@TSCConnect thank you so much ...

If it feels comfortable for your neck and head then it’s typically fine, but since that’s a personal question you may benefit from asking a physiotherapist near you who can assess your spine alignment

Although pillows may help with comfort and alleviating symptoms, they're unlikely to reduce your curve because curve-specific exercises and treatment are generally required to make changes to your spine's alignment

We can’t provide medical advice over KZfaq so please find a healthcare provider close to you who can assess your condition.

Many people with scoliosis have very normal pregnancy and childbirth, however some people experience different symptoms. We encourage you to find a physiotherapist in your area who can support you throughout pregnancy and to prepare for childbirth.

@@TSCConnect Thank you....

Yes for many people the prone position is uncomfortable. Short times in that position are generally ok, sometimes your body needs a change in position.

Haha! ❤️
