Episode 124: Which Side Should You Strengthen With Scoliosis?

Written By Meghan Teed
 
 

Should you only be strengthening the “weak” side for scoliosis?

In this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I’m breaking down why scoliosis strength work isn’t as simple as picking one side and going all in. You’ll learn how the concave (shortened) side and convex (lengthened) side of your curve each have unique weaknesses and why both need strengthening, but in different ways.

In the episode, I’ll walk you through: 

  • How to tell which side of your curve is shortened vs. lengthened

  • Why blindly strengthening can actually reinforce your curve pattern

  • Easy propping techniques to set your spine up for success before you lift

  • My favorite moves for activating, controlling, and balancing each side of your curve

You’ll also hear a client story that proves how changing just one part of your routine can transform your posture, comfort, and daily support.

If you’ve been strength training with scoliosis but aren’t seeing the results you want, this episode will help you finally train smarter for your unique spine.
