What exercises should I perform at the children's scoliosis

Effective exercises for scoliosis 1 and 2 degrees in children allow you to return the spine into the correct position for 6 months. If the pathology treatment not started in time, for several years, the curvature of deformation exceeds 25 degrees, and the effectiveness of physical therapy significantly reduced. In the presence of anatomical lesions in the vertebrae, doctors will prescribe surgical treatment.

However, modern medicine has the potential for early detection of spinal curvature in children.
