I usually finish my workouts in the matted area for some abs, stretching and mingling. The other day, I was talking with this member and she said something really interesting.
Jkim: Love that stretch. Intense but good!
Lady: Yeah, my pilates trainer showed me. Love ’em. I have scoliosis, so I have to make sure I stretch.
Jkim: Oh, really.
Lady: Actually, everybody has scoliosis. Some worse than others, but everyone has it slightly.
I’m not sure if that statement is true, but I think that it is wise to prepare for the worst. Use the fear of having scoliosis to train your back properly.
Breakdown
The spine is made up of 3 segments: cervical, thoracic and lumbar. We’re going to focus on their main movements- rotation, flexion and extension-and work to get full ROM.
– Cervical: Slightly mobile.
– Thoracic: Highly mobile
– Lumbar: Slightly mobile
– Hips: Highly mobile
Strengthening: DEADLIFTS
There’s a lot of things going on in a deadlift. The key is to get the hip hinge down. Once you have that, all the other components will come together.
– Cervial: Neutral, Upper traps depressed. “Look 3 feet infront of you”
– Thoracic: Extension. scaps retracted. Shoulders externally rotated. “Tall chest. Pinch shoulder blades. Twist elbows clockwise.”
– Lumbar: Neutral. “Abs tight.”
– Hips: Hinged, externally rotated. “Booty pop. Drive your knees out.”
• Work within your ROM. Go to the point where your form begins to breakdown. For example, start with rack pulls—> risers—->floor
—->
—->
Bottom-line: Start deadlifts.
The Brain Behind The Muscle 
Are you sure one can do deadlifts when one has scoliosis? Other sites say it could possibly make your scoliosis worse. I am confused.
It’s definitely worth asking your chiropractor about. With proper form and proper amount of load, deadlifts can strengthen your functional stabilizing muscles.
