Warning: Following his video for your scoliosis might not help you!
You have to consider many factors before trying to correct a scoliosis. For example, how old are you, what degrees do you have (this method works best under 40 degrees), what is happening in the rest of your body that could be making your scoliosis worse?

This works. I wish I would have found this earlier. My spine is straight for the first time in years. I've been going to the gym twice a day trying to fix my back. Now that I have this video I am healed. Jesus led me to this video
How old are you?
what was you curve degree? did you have uneven shoulder or hips?
Jesus didn’t do shit
@@lettucekisses no you didn’t do shit
Before and after x-rays?
Your channel has been more helpful to me than my doctors appointments. Plain and simple, thankyou!
Someone asked if this really works. Until I came across this video, my scoliosis pain had been getting progressively worse, so that I couldn't go shopping or any other outings without undergoing intense and excruciating pain. I wasn't sure which way the scoliosis bent, but I couldn't bend right without pain, so I concluded that it must be a left bent, since that would increase pressure when I bent right. I did the exercises as described, several times and felt such relief of pain, I had no hesitation about doing more repetitions. I have been doing them now for four days, along with hip bursitis exercise, since that had developed also. I have been unable for a year to function without a back brace because of the pain, but today I have not been wearing it at all and doing my normal routine without pain, without pain, praise the Lord. Once an hour or so, I do the routine, which takes only a few minutes, and the intense muscle spasms I had been suffering have stopped. It's hard to believe, and I hope the result continues. I have hope I can go out again without fear of horrible pain overwhelming me. Thank you for this information. Bless you for sharing it on CZcams.
This is actually the only video that address the rotation.... nobody even mention the rotation, they all believe you put a foam roll on your bent side and you're done... thank you Sir.
Anyway I need those thera bands... even though I'm having great progresses without.
I have a very mild scoliosis, not severe enough to perform surgery or anything on, but it was still uncomfortable and it made me self conscious. This video helped a lot, it is significantly less, and it feels way better. Recommend anyone with mild scoliosis to try this.
Izzy V. I’m glad it helps and thanks for the post. Please she were you can.
AmmieForFun ، I also need you to visit me please help me
Did the xray show any improvement?
@@jailanh.4877 i haven’t had a second x ray actually. However my physiologist could see/feel improvement
How often did u do these exercises? :)
My scoliosis was never treated as a child and I'm realizing that's theroot to all my back pain. I'm trying this
ive been a practicing chiropractor for 20 years... this is the best video online that I recommend to my patients with scoliosis
Thank you, I appreciate your support.
Have you considered doing our professional training? edpaget.com/scoliosis-correction-protocol-for-professionals/
I've had scoliosis from a young age and it was first noticed when I was around 10. My scoliosis was very severe and the doctors were wanting me to have surgery right away but thankfully my parents looked for an alternative route. After tons of research and different things I tried such as back braces, electro-therapy, and other chiropractic methods. We finally found a upper cervical chiropractor who does the Blaire Palmer method. Their method is based on the fact that if a vertebra in your neck gets misaligned, interference can occur to the nerve transmissions anywhere in your body, which can cause pain in your lower back, knees, scoliosis etc. You may notice a pain in your neck at first, but years later the pain in your lower back can be a result of this, and no amount of surgeries or physical therapy, although they can provide temporary help, will correct the underlying problem. So they seek to analyze and correct misalignments in your neck (mainly atlas) so that your body's nerve transmissions can flow properly and you heal yourself. When I was born my mom distinctly remembered that the doctor had to turn my head in weird way and she believes may have put my atlas out of place and that was probably what contributed to my body developing scoliosis. I've been getting my atlas adjusted for 20 years now and I've almost never struggled with any pain in my back and do not have issues with misaligned hips or things like that. I've just recently started taking exercises more seriously to help correct the curve however many people who go to the blaire palmer chiropractors have corrected their scoliosis through adjustments alone. However, because mine was so severe, I've had to implement stretching and other exercise in order to correct it but the adjustments alone prevented it from getting any worse. These exercises are great and very helpful but I do recommend anyone who struggles with scoliosis or other ongoing back issues to look into upper cervical chiropractors who do the blaire plamer method. I just want to share what I've learned and experienced over the last 20 years.
Hi thank you for enlightening. I just found out that my kid 14 year old have scoliosis. Can you please redirect me with a link to the blaire plamer method your referring to. I'm very interested in this but when i goggle it nothing appears? Thank you. And i`m happy that you found a way!
Hi Tiffany
I'm 24 years old and I have scoliosis at upper side.. Kindly tell me easy exercise..
I'm afraid of the surgery.. I can't afford surgery.
I feel pain when I do work hard
@@sscapion2650 Hi there, here's a link that may lead you in the right direction: blairchiropractic.com/blair-chiropractic-technique/ just so you know not every upper cervical chiropractor performs the blair palmer method so just verify when looking for a chiropractor that they do the blair palmer. It really does make a difference. My mom tried going to a upper cervical chiropractor (she moved away from the one we had) but he did not do the blair palmer method so it was not the same effect.
@@tayyaba1490 Hi, I'm not an expert in stretching and it depends on how your curve is, however, I do recommend targeted stretches like the one in this video, or Pilates moves or yoga moves. Pilates is very good because it incorporates stretching with core strengthening which is very important. Kind of like how he explains in this video, you want to build strength in the area opposite to your curve in order to sort of 'pull' your spine back to where it should be. I find the stretching where you lay straight out on your stomach and lift yourself up toward the ceiling as well as the stretch where you have your legs folded in underneath your stomach and face down toward the ground with your arm stretched forward above your head and stretching straight and also veering towards the sides to be very helpful for me
I was able to get a feel cracks from this and actually feel my spine move back in place. thanks a lot!!. So relieved... Funny..I went to three different chiropractors and none of them told me about these movements...Always did the same old adjustments that did nothing for me... Those quacks. Your video and knowledge helped like 85% of me pain and issue. I will continue to work on this.
I've read and been told by people who studied Scroth method that side bending, especially with multiple curves will only make curves worse, never better. Avoid bending and hunching.
my doctor never takes my pain seriously despite having a full-body x-ray showing my s curve of 15 degrees, thank you for helping me
my s curve is 20 degrees and i was told it wasnt that serious by my doctor that i was obviously going to have pain that if it passes 30 degrees that id have to go get surgery. She said she could send me to a specialist but all they would tell me is the same thing she told me exercise and stretching
Mine is 41 degrees
Mine most be around 8-10 degrees, the doctor told me it was so mild that I didn't even needed to take x-rays, she just told me to go home, sit straight and stretch my muscles. It's nice that she realized so soon, because I have plans on joining the military and if this problem had gotten too out of hand my goals would have been absolutely crushed
@@maddie7291 take care if it gets to 50 degrees you would have to perform a surgery and it would be tough.
@@NautilusSSN571 do you have uneven shoulders, hips or flaring rib?
finally someone with a good video on scoliosis. not just some crap on how you have to deal with it or how weight training isn't good for you. iv has been doing this myself for 13 years and I can lift more weight than ever and have very little pain if nothing at all.
Awesome video!! I was diagnosed with an S-curve at age 12. In my 20's I began treating it with advanced yoga, Yamuna body rolling, craniosacral, myofascial and osteopathic treatment. By age 45 my lower spine is completely straight and my upper is only 1" off center. These exercises look excellent. But what I would add is to combine them with loosening and stretching exercises - even between sets - otherwise you may see an increase in pain. I think you also need to mobilize or "unstick" the vertebrae, since most will have entire sections that are "fused" together and just move in a block - another thing that will prevent these exercises from having their full, desired effect. Just my thoughts. Thanks for sharing and I'll pass this along.
thank you for this comment ! i'm so scared my scoliosis isn't treatable by exercises, your comment gave me hope
YOU decide what your body can/will be. Don't give that power away. :)
*****
This is not always true. Aside from the genetic issue, sometimes it's too late to "decide" anything.
Im really happy that you succeded take this off your life, can you please put the links to the major exercises you did to lower the pain
i m 25 u think i get a chance treating the curve i mean look wise
WOW, great video, great great information using basis of coupled movement in a rehab context
Thank you so much. I've been looking for this sort of strategic approach to PT for my scoliosis for 30 years. This is a game-changer. You're the best.
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
This guy is great. I lost his channel and now I found it again. I'm so happy, and of course, start doing these exercises every day
Thank you, make sure you subscribe.
been doing the side bend stretch youve shown here for about 6 months now (without the other stretches or the book) and my back ha already shown improvement from just that one stretch. thank you for posting this, i'll be back in 6 months when my back is straight for your address so i can send you some flowers :)
how is it ??
I have this exact curve. I started these exercises last week and have an appointment with Dr. Nalda chiropractor in 2 weeks. I’m 62 and not giving up since I’ve seen your video after being told my whole life there is nothing more to do. I wore a Milwaukee brace as a teenager to keep it from getting too bad. But gravity aways wins! Ouch
Gravity is 24/7….
God bless osteopathic physicians. You guys are the only helpful doctors out there. The real deal. Thank you so much for this fantastic video.
Finally, stretching that takes into account the rotational aspect of scoliosis! Thank you! VERY helpful 👍
This has helped more than any doctor i've ever been to. Nice job!
Glad you liked it! - did you know we also have a FB support group for people with scoliosis?
It would be great to have you there: facebook.com/groups/351414238781617/
I have the exact same scoliosis as the guy on the blackboard. This is the bext scoliosis explanation and easy moves to help engage the muscles, which should be engaged.
Thanks man!
Thank you. If you want my personal help with your scoliosis let me know - ed@scoliosiscorrectionprotocol.com
THANK YOU! I did these exercises with my friend who was having intestinal pains for a few months after her scoliosis got worse and she could not eat anything without pain. It took about a week for her symptoms to go away when we did this every day and we continued for about a month and she has since quit her exercises and had no food pains.
Brilliant Ed, exactly what I was looking for
Thank you very much. I had to try it already while watching the video and I immediately felt it should be working. This is my type of scoliosis and last two years I started to experience back pain as I stopped taking regular exercise. After some time now I feel my back is relaxed and doesn't hurt. So again, thank you!
Thank you for the information. I'm 55 and have had an active life despite my scoliosis. Mine is congenital but identical to what you address in the video. My focus now is to correct as much as I can while I'm still active. You have given me a great plan to start with. Cheers.
Mrmel64 if you want me in your corner, helping you on the way let me know.
Fantastic instruction and video! Thank you.
Thank you so much - I've had this all my life but at 55 it is only the last five years that I've suffered. Your program is the first clear explanation I've seen - thank you.
OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!!!!!
I am watching this video again and again. Thank you very much Ed for sharing your knowledge.
Antonis Pistofidis no problem. Check out my Instagram as well. Lots of info on there.
Thanks so much for posting this video! Great info. I have added these exercises to my workout. Going to start doing the stretches a few times a day. Hope I can finally start seeing some results using this! All the chiropractors have done for me over the years is tell me to stop cracking my own back and hand out an ice packs with their number on it.
Probably the best video on youtube about scoliosis treatment. Thanks so much! I felt instant relief after doing these exercises!
How old are you? How much degrees was the curve before you start doing the exercises? and how is it now?
Tired of being in pain and I’m glad I found this info!
This is the most sensible approach I've seen. I'll give this a try. Thank you!
You are welcome.
Great video with detailed explanation for each movement technique.
Very good explanation ! Maybe the best I have seen yet.
what can ı say you'r amazing dear Ed! GOD BLESSING ON YOU ! I am 50 age and just found rıght person rıght exercıses for my scolıosis rıgt thoracal - left lumbar . Every day when ı study on your this exercise video ı being happy . Really god help for us ..thank you thak you very much .
geçmiş olsun Nagehan hanım. videoda tam anlayamadım da. her hareketi 15 defa mı yapacağız, örneğin 5.01 de ki stretching hareketi 30 saniye tutup, 15 defa mı tekrarlayacağız? yardımcı olursanız sevinirim.
Extremely nicely explained ! My spine matches exactly what you have described in the video . I will be starting tomorrow to exercise . Thank you so much !
Hey! How are you now? Any improvements?
Dude you are my hero! Thanks for the great information. I have been looking for this!
A million times, thank you! I will try a thin blanket while sitting and will definitely check out the webinar.
Hi CZcamsrs. I am an osteopath ( 24 yrs experience ) and have just watched this video. It is clear, short and, imho, very good. I happen to have a mid 20s female patient who, coincidentally, has the exact scoliosis that Ed P is describing above. Her 2nd treatment is this week. I will be going through this video with her and encouraging her to do these exercises daily for the next 30+ years. One thing that people should realise is, very often, these bends of the spine CANNOT be totally corrected: they can often be improved to a certain degree but MOST IMPORTANTLY, they can be stopped from becoming worse. If people have reasonable expectations from the get go, they will end up not being too disappointed.
Nice one Ed...great vid.
:-)
Thank you Jonny, I appreciate that. And you’re right in adults it’s more about slowing or stopping the progression, and in teens it can be about correcting it, but each case is different.
did it work
Can'y say as I haven't seen her since I went through the exercises with her 3 months ago. I'm pretty sure it will have helped a lot as she was keen to help herself out. If / when I see her again I'll pass on any results.
@@EdPaget why can’t it be corrected in adults ? I just recently was diagnosed with levo, I’ve never had this before. I’ve been having lots of thoracic muscular issues. Ribcage is a major problem, it feels torqued/twisted.
WOW sincerely, thank you so much!!
Greetings from Poland ! You're the merely man who make such a good videos on scoliosis on yt . I hope it'll help me. Thanks :)
This guy is the rock and roll man. I can see into the exercise prescription and the future progressions here. Thank you, just what I was looking for... I don't want to say I knew it all along... but I kind of did.
i’m gonna start doing this, finally found something that explains what i need to know. thank you!
You are welcome.
This is an excellent and useful video.
I have got into this problem twice in the last two years and fought my way out using these exercises. I am glad I saved it to my favorites the first time I got into this problem.
Note for other patients:
1. pain killers and muscle relaxants help. But don't overuse those.
2. To get out of this crooked shape, loosen your body with stretching. Progress bit by bit.
3. When I took rest, I lied down on floor with my legs extended against the wall with my glutes close by the wall. That helped stretch my glutes. At other times, I lied down flat on the floor without any pillow. If you had been doing a desk job working long hours to get into this problem, you will find it difficult to lie down on the floor with your legs stretched. But this is exactly what you need.
And lastly, when you get out of this problem, remember to never fall into this problem again.
Exercise regularly. Prevention is better than cure.
Vijay Srinivasan
Hi. ..whats your age ? I am currently 33...will these stretches going to work in this age ?
This will work regardless of your age. These exercise \ stretches undo the mistake you did in the first place.
The second time, I got into this, I tried the exercises the entire day in full pain. And you will get your mobility slowly and the freedom from pain. The whole process can take 3 days to be 80% pain free.
vijay how bad was your curve, and how much time did it take to heal?
It was terrible that I could but move an inch. turning any direction was severely pinching my nerves. one week to recovery 90 or 95%. I took 3 days off when I did these exercises throughout the day. I worked from home the next two days partially working and partially exercising. Now more than a year from that incident, my back is its peak performance ever. This is because I am practicing Surya Kriya. This is a fantastic whole body exercise that I learnt from Isha Institute of Inner Science, Tennessee. Doing it consistently is the key. You can't learn it now when you are in pain. Follow this video to get it off the sidewise S curve... and then when you are normal join that Surya Kriya class near your home.
The explanation of the exercise is excellent; looking forward to trying this
Sure helped me to understand my scoliosis...very useful video.
I know this is an older video but I thank you deeply for it. Many blessings!
You are most welcome
I had undergone scoliosis fusion surgery when I was 14...Thks to Almighty God that I had consulted an Olthopeadic Surgeon who holds a record of conducting most number of successful scoliosis not only in India but across the world ..His name was Dr.Krishnaswamy Sriram from Chennai..He had many patients not only from India but from other countries like Srilanka too..A very down to earth person who was famous for his dedication towards his profession ......
Is this information legit?
Thanks so much for this info - very useful
I'm an Osteopath and I love this simple and very true explanation, every Patient with Scoliosis shoould see this video, trank you
Pawel Gnosdorf I have a program for professions to learn this approach. Maybe you’re interested. Right now it is on sale. edpaget.com/professional_training
Im a S&C coach and have been lifting for years. So my back is quite strong. I took a photo of my back noticed i had a curve in my spine, with a dropped shoulder and pelvice.the owwww sh*t moment came.
I have had some back pain since i was 16 but never thought anything of it hhahah.
I attribute the reasons why it never got worse or really effected me to the shear amount of gym i do. My back is not weak. However, a structual issue is still a structual issue.
Im now doing the exercises to see if it changes. Will come back in few months to let you all know
We have the same situation, response for ur result pls
Connor Games I look forward to it.
Really an update a year later would help
Hi Conner how did it go?
I started with it! I have been doing it for six days so far, and I don’t know if it’s placebo but I think I have already seen a slightly change!
Been recording everyday and will come back with pictures when it completes a month!
Keep us updated

yo what happened? do you think its effective?
@@javier.alvarez764 It’s been 18 days today since I started.. I have only missed 1 day until now.. When it completes 30 days I’ll post a before/after pic. But I highly recommend it.

Amazing video. Well spoken, no time wasted. Very helpful thank you.
so happy to come across your video, it coincidentally matches my spine curve direction so this was really assuring to watch, thank you!
Great to hear!
Incredible, I’ve done these exercises for a few days now and I feel and see results. I’ve been dealing with scoliosis for a long time and had corrections but hit a wall and these exercises have really taken my body to another level of straightening.
That’s great news
James Dean I’m dealing with the exact curvature he is showing in the video. Constantly feeling movement in my body. Arms, legs , ribs. I’ve learned you have to constantly be stretching to get more and more movement.
Hlo sir
May I please know what you were dealing with (left shoulder high or the right one)
Thank you
i'll try this, and ally it with a better posture while sleeping. hope it helps me with my scoliosis
This exercise mean a lot to me, it helps me a lot.
What a pain relief!
Wow! Thank you, excellent advice, just what I was looking for! I will certainly try this.
Best video on youtube with actual explanation using anatomy. All the other videos on here are highly anecdotal. Great work!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
I am also a yoga teacher who has lost some strength and balance due to this condition I have experimented with theses stances and I have so much balance success!
Lisa Michelin will this reduce my curvature ?
best one I seen yet!
As a dressage rider I have been trying to figure out how to manage my s curve and its effect on the biomechanics of my horse. This is so helpful and I cannot wait to get to work on it. Thank you!
PS There are obviously many other exercise/stretches that are useful. The vid "How to relieve scoliotic back pain in 30 secs" is also very good. Ignore the 30 secs nonsense. Some good stretches and use of a foam roller are well described.

Great, I think if I do these every day my spine will get back where it belongs. Thank you. The chiropractic dr wasn't working because they don't tell me about physical therapy. Thank you.
Nita Figueroa yes that is very common with a lot of hands on therapy, not just chiropractic.
Sir you have the most "Yeah man, shit happens, here's the solution" kinda energy ever haha I felt very at ease while watching this video, I didn't feel like there's something wrong with me. I felt very understood. I used to be a taekwondo player and then suddenly I found out I had this thing going on, the doctors told me they had no idea what was causing it to happen. I left taekwondo a while back and I've been trying to find ways to help this become atleast better. Thank you so much for the video, you explained it so easily and simply.
Thank you, I really appreciate your comments. I try and be that way!
Wow thank you so much....I had pain in between my shoulders in the back pinching under the right shoulder blade.............I did this stretch and the PAIN WAS GONE IMMEDIATLY.....you are a blessing!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. I HAVE THIS EXACT TYPE OF SCOLIOSIS. THIS WAS SO HELPFUL! YOU ROCK!!!
I watched this video about 7 years ago. I'm back full circle and I'm going to consistently do these exercises 2 to 3 times daily for a month. I will get back to you guys. I have a severe scoliosis. I'm not sure the degree. I will ask my chiropractor, but last week when he took x-rays, his reaction was "holy cow", you do have scoliosis for sure. This was after he explained that most people come in and say they have scoliosis but it's minimal. I kept my mouth shut and let him x-ray. Let's begin the journey.
You could always enroll in my course if you want me to help you personally.
how did you go? did it improve?
So where are you?
any update
WoW!! This is life changing for me!! I can already feel it working after only a short time! I will be doing these exercises faithfully, five days a week (I do believe the body needs some rest). Thank you isn't powerful enough to express my gratitude!
I’m glad you like it. Thank you for the kind words.
how do u feel it did ur curve decrease?
@@systematic3550 I haven't had new x-rays, but I can tell a difference in how I feel already, and I believe that, if I am faithful in the exercises, I will get a new x-ray next year and I imagine it will show a reduction!
You are amazing! I have had a rotation issue and Your example is my curvature. This has helped me tremendously. My rotation was causing other issues in the upper and lower body. I was working on stretching and strengthening those areas but it never stayed. I knew I had not identified the root cause yet. Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. I am standing and sitting up straight by just walking thorough your video once. I will definitely keep doing the stretches and exercises to maintain this position. Thank you again!
Amy Hoop great news.
I am sooo excited for the solid advice, thank you for a great video.
You’re welcome
i just did all of those things and i think i will start doing it every day, my back feels kinda good after doing the exercises

This does relieve pain but u have to keep doing it everytime I stop doing this exercise for a long period of time the pain comes back
I appreciate this video !! Really instructive
THank you :)
This definitely helped me slightly thank you!
This is the most scientific explanation that I have found on the internet. Makes perfect sense. Thank you so so much. I have only one question. I have a mild scoliosis, just like the curve you showed, around 10 degrees. I understood that the exercises you show here must take around 15 min daily. Is it recommended I do more than that in a day though? I have searched and found other types of exercises that I can do beside these in a day, but I don't know what is the optimal way of following along.
There is no set answer to your question. Optimal for you might not be optimal for someone else you could add more slowly and see what happens.
To everyone here, please don't just jump right into doing these exercises exactly as described here. It's possible your spine could be curved or rotated the opposite direction than the example shown in the video and if you do the stretches the wrong way you can do more harm than good. Go to a chiropractor and ask for an xray to see if your spine has problems. Most chiropractors aren't that expensive even without insurance. The one I went to was $50 for a visit with xray, $20 for a visit without an xray. When shown your xray, take a picture of it on your phone for your own reference and base your exercises around how YOUR spine is having problems. The chiropractor can also do adjustments and massages and show you stretches to help correct your condition if it is indeed something that can be improved without surgery.
yes
+Teglas Arnold These exercises don't generally cause pain. Try decreasing the size of the movements and focusing on great technique or form. Really focus the movement to target the area where there is the apex of your curves.
+Ed Paget I have the exact same scoliosis curves shown in the video, except that (looking from the back) my right hip is lower than my left hip. Does that mean instead of doing right foot forward left foot back onto a elevated platform..I'm suppose to do right foot forward and left back onto a lower platform?
+TeglasArnold me too.. i want to correct my spine but i'm scared it might get worst :(
everyday when i wake up my back hurts. is that because of my sleeping position? i'm so confuse :(
Intrinsi, Osteopathic Clinic thank you i appreciate your reply! my x ray describes my spine exactly just like in the video but when i tried to do it my back did hurt a little is that normal?
Thanks again in Advance :)
Finally someone who works vs the dissonance (instead of stretching and strengthen bouth sides the same way ... which does not effect the balance.)
Thank you very much for my new dayli!
TraumWandler you are welcome
I’m just blown away rightnow.. this worked for me!!
Dude it takes at least 6 months to notice a difference if not years
Hey! It's awesome seeing videos like this, amongst all the others. I know when I was first diagnosed with scoliosis and I visited the physiotherapist who was recommended to me, they didn't treat it seriously at all, was no help, and turned me off from going to physio for this, which would have been a good idea at the time (10 years ago). I have a mild idiopathic scoliosis, most likely from bad sitting/lifting/posture habits as a teenager during growth spurts. I've done the stretch in this video periodically over the past few years and am at the gym 5x a week bodybuilding and stretching (I've worked hard to try and cover up my imbalances). However, I've always stopped your exercises after about two weeks. When I reach the two-week mark of doing these exercises daily, I always notice that my rotation gets worse. My lower ribcage on the right side begins protruding in the front even more than before. That is, the lower back left rotation seems to continue rotating left, getting worse. (I've had x-rays done and the curve in your video is identical to mine - my upper left rib cage/pec protrudes, while my lower right ribcage protrudes). Now, whenever I do the exercises my lower back starts to feel amazing as it's most likely opening up the area, releasing tension, and activating those seldom used muscles. So, my question is, in your experience, is this one of those things that may get worse before it gets better, as my spine, ribcage and pelvis work themselves out? I should also note that when I'm consistently doing the exercises I can definitely feel subtle changes/movements in my upper back/shoulder area as well as lower back. I'm just worried that it might be making things worse rather than correcting. I'm sure it's the latter.
Let me know if you find out, since I have an identical problem myself.
hello so is it good or bad
These exercises were difficult for me. I had to listen multiple times and draw and redraw pictures, but I believe they are some of the best.
Well done.
I bet..lmmfao

Thank you for the understandable discussion
Wow! very but VERY instructive! He is amazing! Thank you!!!
THIS IS SO HELPFUL, i hope it helps lessen the curve :-) No idea why it developed
It won't, only surgery can fix it.
Did it help?
i instantly feel relief with the first side stretching excersise.
Excellent news. Well done.
@@EdPaget commenting on a 9 year old video you are a serious individual.
I have a lumbar scoliosis and play elite amatuer golf. The side that is shortened (L) extends on the way through my golf swing wouldn’t that help fix my curve.? Im skeptical
@@jakehughes9534 yes the end of your swing it would be lengthened. Assuming you are right handed.
Very helpfull thanks for the information mate
Wow! Mind blown!!! Thank you for the explanations, this is wonderful!
You are welcome
Hey there, I'm 19 and have 3 curve scoliosis. When I was 14 I was sent to an orthopedic surgeon. At the point my spins curves were only 10-13 degrees. When. I went to the surgeon he didn't even touch my back or look at my X-rays he scheduled me for surgery in a few month. It was for spinal fusion of the vertebrae. I left there in tears, and never went back. A back brace could've nipped my scoliosis in the bud. But he didn't give me a chance or information. I was emotionally scarred and scared, I didn't seek anymore professional help. Here I am now 19 my curves are around 45 degrees. One curving to the right on my neck, back to the left and curving to the right between my shoulders, then curving to the left in my low back. I'm constantly in pain and discomfort. I do yoga now and it seems to be straightening. Many many doctors say its impossible to cure your scoliosis without surgery, thanks so much for this video! At least someone agrees with me! Ill be doing these exercises regularly (: thank you!!
valiaadela do you think wearing your school bag on one side started scoliosis?
Icarus that can make your scoliosis worse
valiadela wow i read your story, how is your back now,
it happened to me,. :(
Did these exercises work for you?
Stretching and exercise doesn’t cure scoliosis or fix your curve, just relieves pain and helps mobility
Fantastic! i think this works. I believe you doc😀👍🏾
this is wonderful, thank you so much!
While this may not correct a curvature, it makes sense to retrain the body. After doing these the 1st time my hips evened out for at least an hour.
it takes a long time to straighten. depending on your physical and mental strength.

I like your video, I exercised for many years, also my spine improved ...
I don't have Facebook account. I don't want to make it. Is there any different way to connect with you ?
isn't the upper back bent to the right and not left and the lower back to the left and not right? I don't get it.
Tanicka68 yes. Ed Paget.com
@@MrShpiky its d look from behind
I first noticed your video when glancing at the thumbnails of a search result, I thought damn that's my spine but I could not reconcile the diagram with your explanation until I saw,
If I place my reference mid point of the S of the spine, looking or moving up I get "side bent L" and looking or moving dwn from the mid point I see "side bent R".
Have I correctly interpreted your diagram? My upper spine
presents as in your diagram and the stretch feel correct as well.
I went to an osteopath for almost 3 years and he NEVER said a word about my scoliosis. Mine is from numerous trauma;s, car crash, lifting at work. I thought he would know when it was time to refer me to a neurosurgeon, but all he knew was, I had 5 more visits approved through Workers Comp.
When I told him, I was not improving and in fact had extreme tingling in both legs, he did nothing.
He went on with the appointment and yanked my left leg again.
He looked up and said, "it's tender, huh?"
I end up going home and lived on an ice pack for 2 weeks.
I asked him for a referral to a neurosurgeon. He yelled at me and said, "I am the only doctor that understands your injury, HOW COULD YOU LEAVE MY OFFICE?"
I took my husband back with me, and I finally got the referral.
I just had a 360 degree lumbar fusion with (2) artificial discs. The tingling in BOTH legs was the nucleus pulpous leaking from several annular tears. As an D.O. he should have picked up on this instead of thinking of the money.
He prolonged my agony and stalled writing the referral.
He did resolve left hip bursitis.
If someone says that their legs are tingling, up and down inside and out, then refer them to the proper field of care.
He had MRI's that I had given him. He shoved them in his file but never read them...he said he was "too busy".
This is super helpful. thank you.
