Exercises in case of scoliosis of 1 degree: children and adults video

The first degree of scoliosis is a primary, treatable form of the disease that does not affect the organic degeneration of the tissue. Exercises in case of scoliosis of 1 degree act as the most effective method of conservative treatment. The effect achieved by targeting the physical development and strengthening of the back muscles lining the spine.

When the 2nd severity predictions vaguely. Ordinary physical correction in this case is completely will not help. Need complex treatment. 3rd and 4th degree scoliosis — it is primarily a surgical case. Thus, only gymnastics in scoliosis of the 1st degree gives hope for an absolute recovery.

Selection of exercises

Physical therapy in scoliosis of 1 degree should be focused on this stage of the disease. It is important to take into account the clinical manifestations of scoliosis, which are individual to each. The main of them is forms of spinal curvature:

• With shaped arc in the same plane ("hump");
• S shaped — dogdurova strain ("snake");
• Z shaped — curvature in three planes of space ("spin").

Each of these deformations requires specific approach in development of set of exercises for scoliosis. Without consulting a podiatrist is not necessary. Self-medication can have harmful service and only provoke the progression of the disease.

In addition, you should follow certain methodological rules. Conduct classes in a well ventilated area to facilitate breathing during exercise. Themselves load on the spine (the degree of its bending) to increase gradually: start with lighter and just as adaptation to heavier tasks.

Important regular training, their aspiration for a positive result. Any failure in lessons slows down the process of recovery. When pain in the spine we need to reduce the intensity of the movements, and showed the symptom. In extreme cases, to choose the less painful option. The use of painkillers to eliminate. They will not give the opportunity to test their own physical potential.
