A common question I hear from parents is, “How often should my teen do their scoliosis exercises?” It’s an important consideration for maximizing the benefits of therapy. My recommendation is:

🥉Good= Daily 5 -30 minute home practice and supervised session every 1-3 months
🥈Better= Daily 10-30 minute home practice and supervised session every 1-2 months
🥇Best= Daily 20-30 minute program and supervised sessions 2-3 times/ month
