Isometric exercises: Isometric (push and hold) type exercises are beneficial. To strengthen paraspinous muscles, many patients benefit from rowing, swimming, stationary bike, yoga as well.

Scoliosis: It is highly unlikely that weightlifting could correct mild scoliosis at your age. The ligaments that are holding the spine in the scoliotic position are fixed in this position and this will not change from bodybuilding. If you are concerned, i would suggest that you see a scoliosis specialist for appropriate recommendations.
