Hi, i am 30 years old and have scoliosis ,can i do headstands and handstands will it reduce my hump ?

Scoliosis: Headstands or handstands will not correct you deformity. Scoliosis is a structural issue with various causes. I would see a spine surgeon to evaluate you if you haven't already to see if any soft tissues are at risk secondary to your deformity.
