A member asked:
Which muscles need strengthening when you have scoliosis in the thoracic region towards the right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ALL of back.: It needs a dedicated physical therapy regimen with posture, range of motion and strengthening. Personally, my kyphosis has markedly improved from activities you'd never expect: shoulder strengthening abdomenal strengthening overall weight loss ballroom dance. Spine is a dynamic system. And effects on one part affect all parts.
