Causes of Scoliosis: This type of deformity occurs due to injury or disease. It may be the result of weakening of the spinal muscles of one side and the strengthening of the muscles of the other side. It also occurs due to the adaptation of wrong sitting positions during study or writing when working on table. It is mostly associated with some loss of strength in all the body muscles.
Remedial Measures to Scoliosis:
1. Hanging on the bars with sideward bending to the opposite side of the spinal curve or concavity is recommended.
2. Exercise on hanging on bars helps the spine to straigten.
3. Deep breathing and general coordination exercise should be done.
4. Swimming is the best exercise. Breast stroke style is most suitable and useful exercise for this defect.
5. Exercise of the spine-like flexion, extension, rotation and sideward flexion of the spine should be done.
