Would i need a back brace if i have minor scoliosis?

Scoliosis : Not likely to be indicated. Enroll in pilates course. Focus on keeping a bmi around 25 or lower.

Not usually: It does depend in part what you mean by minor scoliosis. But in general, we use bracing for curves between 30-45 degrees and only use them when the person still has growth left. Thank you for the question.
