A member asked:
Would you be able to touch your toes if you had scoilisis?

Possibly: Scoliosis may hinder but not prevent a person from touching their toes. If the scoliosis involves the upper part of the spine, not the lumbo sacral area and the hamstings are flexible, a person could touch their toes.

It is possible.: It may be possible, but it depends on the angulation and severity of the deformity.
