📚 Understanding Scoliosis 🦴
Scoliosis is more than just “a curved spine.”
It’s a structural condition where the spine rotates and curves sideways – often forming an “S” or “C” shape. Although it can appear at any age, it’s most commonly detected during growth spurts in childhood or adolescence.
🔍 Common Signs of Scoliosis
Look out for:
Uneven shoulders
One shoulder blade more prominent
Uneven waist or hips
A visible curve when bending forward
Back pain or muscular tightness (in some cases)
Early detection leads to better outcomes — especially in growing individuals.
🧠 What Causes It?
Scoliosis can be:
Idiopathic (most common) – no known cause
Congenital – spinal abnormalities at birth
Neuromuscular – linked to conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy
Degenerative – age-related wear and tear on the spine
🏋️♂️ How Biokinetics Helps
Biokinetic rehabilitation plays a key role in managing scoliosis by:
Improving spinal mobility
Strengthening core stabilizers
Correcting postural imbalances
Reducing pain and stiffness
Enhancing functional movement
A customised exercise program can support healthier alignment and improve quality of life — for children, teens, and adults.
📈 When to Seek Help
If you suspect scoliosis (in yourself or your child), early assessment is essential.
A professional screening can determine the severity and guide the right treatment pathway.
✨ Remember
Scoliosis doesn’t define your potential — with the right guidance, movement becomes your strongest tool for long-term spinal health.
