SCOLIOSIS

- Backache or low-back pain
- Fatigue
- shoulders/hips appear uneven
- Spine curves abnormally to the side
- Congenital (present at birth): scoliosis is due to a problem with the formation of the spine bones (vertebrae) or fused rubs during development in the womb
- Neuromuscular: caused by poor muscle control, muscle weakness, or paralysis due to diseases
- Idiopathic: unknown
- We can help from the curve from getting worse although it won’t reverse the problem.
- If someone has low/mild scoliosis:
  - Work within comfortable range of motion
  - Avoid aggressively rotating pelvis
  - Always ask the client how it feels when adjusting the core especially in plank based moves
