Pilates – How to Correct Spinal Curvature
Hello everyone, I'm Coach Guo.
Today I'm going to share with you:Exercises to Avoid for Scoliosis Patients
First, we need to understand scoliosis.
Spine consists of the cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and coccyx. The four parts are like two S shapes joined together, forming 4 physiological curves (neck curve, chest curve, waist curve, sacral curve).
The four physiological curves of the spine have an important function: damping. If the physiological curve is gone, the damping and buffering ability will decrease, and the spine will run sideways. Therefore, in exercise, some movements are prohibited for scoliosis patients:
cobra pose
downward-facing dog
bow pose
triangle pose
hero pose
plank pose
seated twist
shoulder stand
Note: The above are exercises to avoid for scoliosis patients, as scoliosis patients have difficulty controlling the intensity and angle of the movements, so it is not recommended to do them, especially forward-bending poses are prohibited.
