Exercise: If nothing else you can exercise by walking. Get a pedometer and try to walk 10, 000 steps daily.

Seek md: Mild scoliosis should not prevent you from participating in sports. If you're having shortness of breath you need to get that checked out to figure out why. Mild scoliosis typically does not cause shortness of breath.
