What should patients with scoliosis pay attention to when exercising?
The most important thing to pay attention to: avoid the aggravation of scoliosis. Although fitness has many benefits, you can:

1. Promote heart health: Strong muscles will reduce the need for the heart in daily activities.

2. Increase bone density: As muscles become stronger, bone density will naturally increase to support the extra weight they bring, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

3. Weight control: It's not just a matter of appearance. Obesity is a high risk factor for diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

However, because of the imbalance of muscle strength on both sides of the back of scoliosis patients. Once the fitness method is improper, it will aggravate this imbalance and lead to the aggravation of scoliosis. So I hope to do the following before fitness: know your scoliosis. The etiology of scoliosis, although the etiology of more than 80% cases of scoliosis is not clear (called primary scoliosis), can be divided into functional scoliosis and structural scoliosis according to the changes of bone structure, especially scoliosis with certain clear reasons. Functional scoliosis: normal bone structure, no pathological changes in muscle ligaments.

(1) Common judgment: when lying flat, the lateral bending phenomenon disappears; When the body bends forward and bends to the convex side, the protruding phenomenon disappears; I know there is a side bend, but I can correct it by adjusting my posture.

(2) Possible reasons: muscle imbalance on both sides of the spine; Short legs and long legs caused by pathological or developmental factors; Abnormal action patterns, such as low back pain, lead to incorrect posture and posture in daily life. When this problem is solved by treatment, this scoliosis usually disappears. Therefore, it is necessary to seek professional treatment as soon as possible, and then exercise according to professional advice.
