Yes - because when you swim you use the muscles in your back (believe it or not) and they push your spine to the right place. {please note - IT'S NOT AN OVERNIGHT 'FIX'}

How do you help scoliosis?
To help with scoliosis, you can do yoga, pilates and swimming. Any other exercise is okay-ed by doctors but those three and the best for your back. Once you are from 20 to 40 degrees, a brace is recommended (night or day and night braces). After 40 degrees, a surgical operation is needed. I hope this helps, I'm trying it for myself. :)

How do you exercise if you have scoliosis?
Hi I have Scoliosis and had my correctional surgery in 1989 and now have a Harrington rod There are many ways you can help yourself exercise when you have Scoliosis. Have you tried: Yoga for Scoliosis Pilates Rolfing Swimming (not breast stroke, bad for the neck) My favourite way to keep my spine in shape is Yoga for Scoliosis written by Elise Miller and swimming in the Summer, although I cannot do many lengths I tread water for a while and do 20 lengths before it gets too much, I also have a float to help support me and I have Yoga exercises for the water also. I have a web page that also lists many ways you can exercise when having Scoliosis, I do urge you to talk to your Dr before you take any up any form of exercise, each person has a different case of Scoliosis, mine if Thoracic mainly and was a 76º curve before surgery. http://www.scoliosisnutty.com/page.php?pg=161 I hope you find something that suits you, it is difficult and I understand Simone ---- Hi, I also have had surgery for scoliosis (in 2006). I find that pilates is a great help for me and swimming was also good. I think it all depends on what you are able to do and also it is better to find something that will not only benefit you but you will enjoy it at the same time. But like Simone says I think you should definitely talk to your doctor before taking up any kind of exercise. Katie ================= It is important to correct and maintain your posture as far as possible. Scoliosis always involves imbalances of spinal and other musculature, which can be improved by physical exercises. In general, you need to stretch muscle groups that are taut and shortened, and strengthen weak muscles. Because each case of scoliosis is somewhat different -- I am right convex but you may be left convex, and so forth -- it is advisable to be diagnosed by a physical therapist. The physical therapists most knowledgeable about scoliosis treatment have been trained in the Schroth method, a system practiced in Germany since the 1920s. You can find a Schroth therapist through the list on the National Scoliosis Foundation's homepage: http://www.scoliosis.org For detailed information on the method, see the manual by Christa Lehnert-Schroth. A local physical therapist could learn enough from this book to help you. http://www.schrothmethod.com Hi! I had it to. The best way to excercise is do yoga. My scoliosis got better
