Episode 123: Are You Stretching the Right Side for Your Scoliosis?

If you’ve ever been told to “just stretch the tight side” of your scoliosis, I want to help you understand why that advice might be doing more harm than good. In this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I’m breaking down what’s really happening in the body with scoliosis and why stretching alone isn’t the answer.

You’ll learn how to identify your concave (collapsed) side, what it means to open those areas safely, and how to avoid feeling worse after stretching. I’ll walk you through simple ways to assess your own curve, how your breath can reveal hidden restrictions, and why we need to think in three dimensions when it comes to scoliosis movement.

I’ll also share my favorite strategies for creating more space in the body like myofascial release, supported breathing, and using props to gently decompress.

Scoliosis isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is your movement practice. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode will give you a clearer path forward.
