So many good channels out there I have to say your explanations, progressions and choice of movements, length of clips, even camera placement is best I've seen.
Definitely don’t disagree brother 🤝 I guess the real question is is someone training to be a world record holder for deadlift, or training for longevity and to get out of pain
Totally agree movement helps, my clients has improved so much through movement and myoskeletal kinetics chair release and massage.. wish I took photos at the start.

More information in my channel’s profile bio I’m not saying someone has to necessary address their scoliosis, especially if it’s not painful, but since it’s so common - I wanted to document my experience. A main motivator for addressing my scoliosis was to get out of pain All exercises work best once a week when done in addition to a normal training program. If this is your only training, you can of course get faster results with 2x a week - while always aiming to find pain free ability. Working through pain will do more harm than good. I try my best to show possible regressions that are accessible to beginner levels 1. QL Extension - Start with body weight holds on the floor before adding motion. Only once the floor version is comfortable do I recommend the back extension version. Sets of 20 work well up until using weight, which is when I switch to sets of 10-12 2. Jefferson Curl - 3x5 slow controlled reps. Elephant walk works great if bodyweight jefferson curls aren’t possible pain free 3. One Arm Carry - 60-90 seconds of walking per side for 4 sets 4. Trap 3 Raise - 3-4 sets of 10. If bodyweight, Superman holds work incredible for 3-4 sets of 10, with long pauses on each hold Lastly - I do think deep breathing is particularly important during all these exercises Muscleandmotion was kind enough to allow me to use their beautiful graphics to show the layers of the core muscles
This is really interesting. I've been told I have scoliosis but not serious enough for surgery, I still wonder if it affects me day to day. Gonna try these movements out. Thanks and glad you were able to improve your alignment!
@@beefortytree idek it was so long ago lol. I think I did some kind of weird crunches but not to correct posture and instead to reinforce abs so that they can resist spine movement in the future
I have very similar scoliosis. Did you do any "traction" treatment that some chiropractors do? Essentially holding in positions the opposite of your scoliosis curve.
Do you not care if your rib flares when doing trap 3? Cause it looks like your ribs weren’t down, and from my knowledge, it’s important to be able to have ribs down whilst extending the thoracic spine when bringing arms overhead.
“Accepted to be impossible by the medical community” is telling that you’re not in that community. Statements like that make me fume. I’ve helped at least 20 people with their scoliosis including one that was 45 degrees. After treatment it was at 9 degrees. It’s about understanding biomechanics, anatomy and especially explanation for the patient to understand the mechanics and mind some of the movements throughout the day. If you don’t the patient won’t have much progress. You did a great job with yours, just don’t say untrue things like that.
as someone with scheuermann’s, the consensus in the medical community is that once the vertebrae in the spine wedge, it’s irreversible… that’s what every medical professional has said online, then they either push conservative PT to manage the pain or surgery if the curve is bad enough
@@leggomaheggo If you address the muscle imbalances and spasms properly you can positively influence the weight distribution over the discs, decrease their load and nerve pain. Pushing vertebrae into place won’t be effective if the surrounding tissues are too tight or too pathological, as they are in your case. Professionals have to be more resourceful than the basic PT education.
