It depends on how much of your spine is fused, but in general it's a bad idea because it puts more unwanted stress on the part of your spine that is not fused, and worse case scenario, if you do it to much you might have to get even more of your spine fused.

How do you treat kyphosis?
Conventional orthopedic treatment for scoliosis consists of observation only for spinal curves less than 25*, rigid bracing for curves 25-40*, and multiple level spinal fusion surgery for curves 40* or more. Most patients and parents find this treatment model unappealing and thus new efforts to find a scoliosis exercise based approach have been developed in recent years like the Early Stage Scoliosis Intervention program for mild scoliosis or the Scoliosis BootCamp program for moderate to severe scoliosis.
