Is swimming good to correct scoliosis?

Not likely: Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine. Causes include bony deformities and either paralysis or spasm of the paraspinal muscles. Exercise is generally not useful for straightening the spine (this generally requires surgery), although exercise can help reduce symptoms such as pain and allow you to be more functional.

No but: Swimming or any exercise for that matter will not correct a scoliosis but it is a great exercise in general to maintain an otherwise healthy back!

Not Likely: You should check with the Orthopaedic MD and possibly a Chiropractor to evaluate your degree of scoliosis and determine if it will be aggravated by any special exercise. I have scoliosis and do triathlons, so for me it is ok. Correction of this is usually with a brace at early age or surgery if possible. See your MD. Swimming won't correct. Good Luck.

Scoliosis swimming: Swimming is considered a good exercise for some patients with scoliosis because the movements are not jarring and there is less pressure on the spine. It may not create magic, but can help.
