Hey my friends,in this article i will suggest you some weight & bodyweight exercises for people with scoliosis especially middle.I remember I had too in my teenage years in a typical health check up and the doctor said me to keep going the gym and focus on core.Keep your mind this,don't negleting your core work like abs & lower back.Anyway you have a lot of options in back training so in this article I will talk about back.New article about core training will coming soon,so let's get started!
1. Pull ups:
As you know this beneficial whole back compound movement it's suggested for people with scoliosis so why not? This movement will help you in every grip variation,neutral,underhand(chin up) and the standard you see below in picture!
2. Inverted row:
This movement is an option for people who cannot perform pull ups but not only for them,it's for everyone and it has great benefits in overall back development too.You can try it so and you will see your back gains & posture in a straight line. My favourite variation is the one with neutral grip,but the standard on underhand grip is great too.The second one puts more stress in biceps!
3. One arm dumbbell row: The traditional oldschool dumbbell back movement it's the best & recommended for scoliosis people too.You can do it in your back program!
4. Lat pulldowns:
Lat pulldowns too is great movement and such us pull ups you can try it with every grip but the ideal in my opininion is wide grip for.Try it!
5. Seated cable rows
Seated cable rows is commonly known in fitness world as corrective posture movement.You can try it with wide grip & close grip too,try it!
6. Chest supported row:
Chest supported row is the next generation back movement too for back for overall people because it forces you to have neutral spine & proper form to execute it.Try it with neutral grip,underhand & standard.You can try it with an ez bar or 120 cm barbell.
7. Aquaman
It's not a superhero as you think,is a great lower back exercise.I remember when a great trainer in my first gym suggested me to do it & it helped me a lot. It's an akward movement a little if you are in a gym with lot of people but who cares?(nobody will laugh at you i am kiddin' chill out).So,you can put it in your training too anyway!
Closing the article i want to mark you that you must focus on perfect form and not in weight overload in weighted movement. In bodyweight movements you must aim for correct form too.I have tried all of them and they don't have any issue(I have mild scoliosis).If you try them & you have,you must stop them but i am sure that you don't have.Warning,if you have middle or severe scoliosis consult your doctor.Stay tuned my friends for more articles!
