How to Detect It Yourself?
There are two simple tests to check for some Classical Signs that indicate if one has scoliosis and it is very easy to perform.
Incase you see any one or more of these signs, you should consult a Scoliosis clinician for a full assessment.
It is always good to keep checking for these signs during your child’s growth period especially from the age of 9 to 16 or sometimes even earlier. The earlier it is detected, the more correctable it can be.
Posture Assessment in Standing
Now check for these signs from back.
1.Shoulder Level –One shoulder higher than the other
2.Shoulder blade –One shoulder blade more noticeable than the other
3.Side to side deviation in spine – a slightly curved C or S spine may be visible.
4.Waist asymmetry –Unevenness of the waist
5.Hips asymmetry – One hip higher than the other
6.Head aligned over pelvis –Head not centred over bottom.
Forward Bending Assessment
Keep the feet parallel and aligned when you check this and do not bend your knees. Join your hands in front of you and bend down towards the floor. Put your head down.
Upon bending please check for these signs
- Hump in the upper back.
and / or - Hump in the lower back.
The 1 Minute Spine Check For Scoliosis
Do you know the types of Scoliosis ?

.
How can it be corrected?
Diagnosis
Physical examination, Posture Analysis, Scoliometer reading and Xray will enable us to effectively assess and diagnose the type and severity of the condition to provide tailor-made treatment to your specific needs, right down to the finest details
Plan
We work with our patients to develop a multi-level approach to treating their case. This can include a mix of scoliosis specific exercises, soft tissue release techniques, manual therapy and bracing. Over the course of several detailed consultations we get to know how the condition affects the person, how the treatment is proceeding and how best we can help to meet the goals as quickly as possible.
Scoliosis Specific Exercises
In most cases we will prescribe scoliosis specific exercise, that can be incorporated into your daily life and activities. Exercise alone can often be effective in mild scoliosis, while enhancing the long-term results of bracing and improving body symmetry and reducing pain in adults.
Bracing
In cases where scoliosis is significant and where indicated, we’ll recommend a brace. It is a highly effective but comfortable and discreet scoliosis brace which, over time, can do much of the work in improving the scoliosis and minimizing progression. Braces come in a wide variety of colors and patterns! These braces are custom designed by specialist manufacturers for the specific needs. Braces will give the best results only when the person is very compliant with the dosage or wearing time that is recommended.
Monitor & Optimize
During the treatment, we stay in touch with the person regularly, either with face to face meetings at our clinic or online via skype or similar, as preferred. By staying on top of any changes we can ensure that the corrective regime is always at its most effective. During our check in sessions, we will evaluate the exercise regime, and address any issues the person might have with the treatment regime.
OnGoing Care
Once the situation is under control and the cobb angle has been stabilized, we will keep working to ensure that the Scoliosis remains stable and does not worsen.
At Physio4You, we are always available to listen to your thoughts and concerns and act accordingly.
