Scoliosis is the congenital or acquired violation of a bearing which is characterized by deformation of a backbone. Today it is one of the most widespread orthopedic diseases which involves discomfort and restriction of physical activity of the person. The physiotherapy exercises which regular performance will slow down progressing of a disease will help to overcome an illness at an initial stage of development, and in a complex with procedures of physical therapy, massage and carrying orthopedic corsets guarantee an absolute recovery. In this article we will consider symptoms and the reasons of appearance of scoliosis, the rule of performance of physical education and also a technique of selection of exercises and security measures.
Refer a curvature of a spine column to the most important feature of scoliosis sideways that can lead subsequently to injury of internals /
- With-shaped — one arch of a curvature;
- S-shaped — two arches;
- Z-shaped — three arches.
In practice the unilateral scoliosis which presence is found in the most part of patients most often meets. Classify also this illness and by degrees: the first, that is initial stage of a disease is the easiest form of scoliosis, and the fourth — the heaviest, hardly responding to treatment.
The disease reaches the greatest development during formation of the musculoskeletal device of the person, that is aged from 6 up to 16 years.
It is possible to reveal at the child a disease at an early stage often only thanks to clinical examination after which the course of gymnastic exercises which performance is necessary until the end of the teenage period is appointed. In due time carried out inspection and the begun treatment will allow to eliminate easily pathology and to avoid its complications.
On the first, that is initial, development stages the disease can proceed asymptomatically. For this reason parents extremely seldom notice the external changes inherent in scoliosis, at the child and do not hurry to see a doctor.
However at the slightest suspicion that something not so with a back, it is necessary to consult urgently the expert, the earlier you start treatment, the will quicker and more simply get rid of an illness.
- the pronounced asymmetry of shoulders and shovels, that is one shoulder is much higher than another, one shovel sticks out forward more;
- visible curvature of a backbone;
- flat-footedness;
- stoop;
- total absence of deformation in horizontal position of a body;
- severe pains in a backbone even at short and easy loading.
Whether you know? The age of a backbone can differ from biological age of the person as his state is defined by flexibility. For example, at 80-year-old yogis the backbone can be developed not worse, than at any teenager for this reason various orthopedic diseases are not familiar to them.
Often attempts to find out the reason of appearance of an illness do not come to an end with success therefore about 80% of cases belong to idiopathic, that is unknown origin. Distinguish congenital scoliosis which is observed since the birth, and acquired, to establish an etiology of which rather difficult as it can be caused by both individual predisposition, and a consequence of the wrong way of life.
- wrong bearing;
- inactive way of life;
- lack of vitamins and minerals;
- the broken metabolism;
- number of inflammatory diseases: sciatica, rheumatism, miozit also others and also diseases of connecting fabric;
- consequences of operations on extremities and heart;
- injuries of a lower back.
Today among patients the scoliosis is perceived as something absolutely ordinary and it is not considered serious pathology, especially considering lack of any identification signs at an initial stage of development.
Examine effective exercises at backbone scoliosis in house conditions.
The most important danger of a disease to which people do not attach significance at all is its rapid development. For only several months the scoliosis is capable to progress in quite major defect which only surgical intervention which often is not guaranteeing an absolute recovery will help to correct. Medicines become powerless, and performance of special exercises will not give positive effect any more. For this reason doctors recommend not to delay with inspection, at an initial stage of development the treatment will not take away many forces and time.
The most effective and checked method of treatment of scoliosis of the first degree are peculiar physical exercises which are calculated on strengthening of muscles of a back, correction of a bearing and the general improvement of an organism.
Its performance assumes regularity and obligatory observation of the instructor. In case of correctly made and picked up set of exercises the probability to prevent development of an illness almost absolute.
Deformation of a backbone in the form of a side curvature gives heavy load of the copular device. Pair muscles receive uneven tension that promotes subsequently an atrophy as those muscles which are located on the convex party are in constant activity, and muscles of other party are relaxed all the time. Not to allow such consequences, the physiotherapy exercises at scoliosis have to consist of several types of loading. Let's consider each of them in more detail.
Are directed to activization only of some separate muscles on the one side of the case, that is those which stay in a tone all the time. Other group of muscles at exercises of this sort is not involved. Most often this type of loading is ordered to patients with right-hand or left-side scoliosis.
Important! As a preventive measure pick up to yourself a mattress of average rigidity, and a pillow of the small size that during sleep the neck and a backbone were on one line.
Such type of loading allows to hold a backbone in anatomic right situation due to impact on all groups of muscles on both sides of a spine column. Loading thus is distributed evenly and restores functioning of muscles that eliminates subsequently a curvature.
Make active the relaxed back muscles due to removal of loading from tight muscles.
Exercises are directed to the general strengthening and improvement of an organism, increase endurance, effectively promote improvement of work of the immune system and physical development.
The physiotherapy exercises at scoliosis have to be calculated on an initial form of development as at the started disease stage the physical correction will not give any effect.
Learn what exercises recommend to carry out at scoliosis at children.
- form and degree of scoliosis;
- cause of a disease;
- age of the patient;
- specific features of an organism.
If the set of exercises without the above factors was developed incorrectly, it will lead to progressing of scoliosis therefore only consultation and competent approach of the expert will help to fix a problem.
At insignificant deformation by the patient it is allowed to carry out houses independently some general exercises which minimum load a backbone and the harmful effect will not be given.
Besides physical education, doctors also recommend to do other sports which are allowed at scoliosis, is a swimming, soccer, fitness, dances and even water aerobics. That occupations brought the maximum effectiveness, they need to be carried out regularly, at the same time controlling a bearing and not overstraining a backbone.
If first it is difficult to you to do a full set of exercises at once, carry out them in process of endurance.
Whether you know? The human backbone is capable to sustain weight more than 300 kilograms! It is possible thanks to special fabric liquid which fills intervertebral disks and thus creates necessary depreciation, and during loading the vertebras strongly are fixed by muscles. As a result the unusual and strongest framework turns out.
- The main requirement is not to aggravate a condition of a backbone in the course of treatment, and therefore it is necessary to refuse performance of the exercises providing the increased physical activity: acrobatic exercises, jumps, pullings up, exercises with use of various burdenings and races.
- Exercises are carried out smoothly, without hurrying, listening at the same time to an organism. Loading and the number of repetitions are distributed evenly not to overstrain a backbone.
- Trainings have to take place regularly, it is not less than 3 times in a week, and for achievement of the fastest result it is possible to be engaged every day, allotting 20–30 minutes on exercises.
- Indispensable condition before major activities is warm-up which is directed to preparation of a body for the subsequent loadings and a warming up of muscles.
- Exercises for muscles of a humeral belt and legs in the course of the training need to be alternated among themselves.

|
Lay down on a back, bend legs in knees and connect together, part hands. |
At the same time make turns by the head and the bent legs diversely. If the head turns to the left, so legs to the right, then replace the direction. Exercise repeats at least 7 times, however, if you feel fatigue and sharp backbone pain, it is better to take a break or at all to stop performance. |
|
Starting position — on all fours. |
At the same time extend the right hand and a leg, being late so not longer than 20 seconds, then do the same with the left leg and a hand. The number of approaches should not exceed 2–3 times. |

Standing, hands along a body, a back equal. |
On a breath the hands are raised up, on an exhalation — fall. Breath is in this way restored. Repetition — 3–4 times. |
The physiotherapy exercises designed to improve a condition of a backbone, and ideally to save from scoliosis, at the wrong technology of performance are capable to do irreparable harm.
Also it will be useful for you to learn what exercises are forbidden to be carried out at scoliosis and why.
- Long stay in any inconvenient pose is not desirable. It is necessary to stand or sit in one fixed situation not longer than 30 seconds.
- Sharp movements are also strictly contraindicated. Think over each action in advance, evenly distributing loading on a body and listening to the feelings.
- The clothes for trainings have to be free, not fitting at all and not holding down the movement.
- At the initial stage when performing difficult asymmetric exercises try to lean on a table, a wall or any other surface which would allow to reduce loading in order to avoid injuries.
Scoliosis — a disease which develops promptly, but the timely address to the doctor and implementation of necessary measures promotes elimination of pathology. The efficiency of this way of treatment is checked and approved by experts so at high-quality approach and aspiration the result will not keep itself waiting.
Important! Kind of heavy was, try to avoid the use of the anesthetizing medicines, especially without instruction of the attending physician. It negatively will affect quality of holding trainings and will not give the chance to estimate and check own physical resources.
The main thing is an accurate and regular execution of all rules and strict control of a bearing.
