A member asked:

Is walking, jogging and running on treadmill good for scoliosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Won't hurt scoliosis: and all three are great aerobic exercises, but do not really strengthen core musculature. Scoliosis is often idiopathic, i.e., no known cause, but it is often seen in lean, very flexible individuals. Central muscles like abdominal and back help support spine and posture.
