The choice of sport must be individualized according to the existing problem. A sport considered “good for everyone” may be harmful for a person with scoliosis, a herniated disc or hyperlordosis.
Some exercises done in the gym can make shoulder pain worse. It is better to determine this through a specialist assessment rather than through personal experience.
1Advice for children
There should be movement and a variety of activities every day: swimming, gymnastics, dancing. For children with scoliosis, we recommend the rehabilitation and safe fitness programs available at our center.
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
