One of the most common fears parents have after a scoliosis diagnosis is that their child will need to stop sport or avoid physical activity. In reality, most children and teenagers with scoliosis can and should stay active with the right guidance.

Why Sport Matters

Staying active builds strength, cardiovascular fitness, and confidence. For young people with scoliosis, it can also:

• Support core and back muscle endurance.
• Maintain flexibility and balance.
• Improve mood, reduce anxiety, and boost self-esteem.

There is no evidence that sensible sporting participation worsens curves when monitored and treated appropriately. In fact we believe that a healthy strong body will better adapt to any scoliosis specific therapy including bracing, improve mental health and allow you to prepare for a life after bracing with a strong spine.

Generally Safe Sports

Most non-contact and moderate-contact sports are safe for scoliosis patients, including:

• Swimming.
• Cycling.
• Running and athletics.
• Dancing.
• Football and netball (with some caveats).

Dorsi Spinal Institute assesses each patient individually, but in general we encourage continued participation in these activities.

Sports Requiring Caution

Some sports may require modifications or closer monitoring, especially for patients with larger curves, pain, or those in bracing:

• High-impact gymnastics or trampolining.
• Heavy weightlifting (especially overhead lifts without supervision).
• Contact sports such as rugby at elite levels.

We rarely recommend complete avoidance, but we may suggest technique adjustments, strength pre-conditioning, or limits on high-risk movements.

Exercising in a Brace

Many brace wearers can still participate in sports. Sometimes the brace is worn during low-impact activities and removed for high-intensity sport, depending on the treatment plan. Dorsi clinicians provide clear instructions tailored to each child.

When to Stop or Adjust

We advise seeking review if sport causes:

• Persistent or worsening back pain.
• Leg weakness, numbness, or pins and needles.
• Breathlessness out of proportion to effort.

In these cases, we may adjust bracing, exercise intensity, or investigate for other issues.

How Dorsi Spinal Institute Supports Active Lifestyles

We work with families, schools, and coaches to create realistic, healthy activity plans. Where needed, we provide letters outlining restrictions or recommendations, and help young athletes return to sport after surgery or major treatment.

Next Steps

If you’re unsure what sports are safe for your child—or yourself—book a consultation at Dorsi Spinal Institute. We’ll create a personalised activity roadmap that keeps you moving safely and happily.

Bracing and exercise are sometimes presented as competing options for scoliosis. At Dorsi Spinal Institute, they are partners. Used together, they provide the most powerful non-surgical approach to curve control and correction.

Why Bracing Alone Isn’t Enough

Braces like ScoliBrace can apply three-dimensional corrective forces to the spine, guiding it toward better alignment. However, they do not actively retrain muscles or movement patterns on their own. Without muscle engagement, gains made in a brace may be harder to maintain after weaning.

Why Exercise Alone Isn’t Enough

Exercises, especially scoliosis-specific methods such as Schroth and SEAS, target strength, flexibility, and postural control. They are excellent for supporting the spine but may not be sufficient to control progression of moderate curves in children who are still growing.

The Power of Integration

Combining bracing and exercise allows:

• The brace to provide consistent structural correction.
• Exercises to train the body to hold and support that correction.

Evidence shows that this integrated approach produces better outcomes than either method alone.

Combine this with specialised treatment programmes and we have the Dorsi Method: the only clinic in the UK offering a full spectrum non-surgical programme.

Dorsi’s Integrated Programmes

At Dorsi Spinal Institute, brace wear is coordinated with:

• Regular ScoliBalanace exercise one-to-one sessions.
• Home exercise programmes tailored to each curve pattern.
• Specialised treatments.
• Education about posture in daily activities.

This ensures that every hour in or out of the brace contributes to long-term success.

Patient Engagement and Motivation

Exercises also give patients a sense of control and agency, turning them from passive recipients of care into active participants. This psychological shift supports adherence and resilience.

Next Steps

If you’ve heard mixed messages about bracing versus exercise, Dorsi Spinal Institute can clarify your options and design a combined programme that plays to the strengths of both.

Back pain and scoliosis often get mentioned in the same breath, but the relationship is not always straightforward. Some people with significant curves have little pain; others with modest curves can be in real distress. Understanding the causes allows for better, more targeted relief.

Why Scoliosis Can Cause Pain

Possible pain drivers include:

• Uneven loading on discs and facet joints leading to wear.
• Muscle fatigue from constantly working to keep the body balanced.
• Nerve compression where the curve narrows nerve passageways.

Children vs Adults

Children and teenagers with scoliosis are often pain-free or experience only mild, activity-related aches. Adults, especially with degenerative changes, are more likely to experience ongoing pain that needs active management.

Assessment at Dorsi Spinal Institute

We evaluate:

• Exact pain location and pattern.
• Curve type and severity.
• Muscle strength, flexibility, and posture.
• Signs of nerve involvement in legs or arms.

Imaging (x-ray, MRI) is used when necessary to pinpoint structural causes.

Treatment Options

Dorsi’s multidisciplinary pain plans may include:

• Scoliosis-specific physiotherapy.
• Adult bracing for support and load reduction.
• Manual therapy and massage.
• Activity modification and ergonomic advice.

We coordinate with NHS pain clinics for medication or injections when needed.

When to Seek Help Urgently

Immediate review is recommended if pain is accompanied by:

• Leg weakness, numbness, or loss of control.
• Changes in bladder or bowel function.
• Fever or unexplained weight loss.

Next Steps

If scoliosis and back pain are affecting your daily life, Dorsi Spinal Institute can identify what’s causing the pain and build a clear, realistic plan for relief.

5 Exercise Tips To Speed Healing And Maintain Health

Chiropractic is designed to alleviate pain and restore the body to its natural balance. For our Chiropractors, injury prevention is key for a healthy body. Good practices combined with solid exercises creates toned muscles that protect the body and spine from harm. While each patient receives exercise instructions for their specific condition, the following exercise tips for our patients apply to everyone.

Do Take Time To Warm Up Before Exercising

Before starting any exercises, it's important to warm up. A series of dynamic moves will boost your heart rate and heat up the muscles that you will be using during your work out.

Select whole body movements such as leg lunges paired with arm motion or walk in place while raising and lowering your arms. Once you've warmed up, you can safely stretch without risk of injury.

Introduce Ergonomics Into Your Home And Work Space

One of the most important exercise tips is to take steps to keep your body in alignment as you move through your day. In the workplace, check with an ergonomics consultant to ensure proper positioning, especially if you spend most of the day seated or doing repetitive tasks.

A comfortable chair reduces muscle strain and prevents injury. Make sure that your feet sit firmly on the floor and that lumbar support is in place. At home, you should have a good mattress and supportive furniture.

Choose The Right Shoes

Before you buy your next pair of shoes, check for stability, flexibility, and comfort. During your test drive, make sure that the shoes feel firmly in place as you move through your entire range of motion for a stable gait during wear.

Footwear should be flexible enough to give easily at the base of the toe for a smooth gait, and there should be cushioning at all the right places with plenty of room for the toes to move. Shoes that properly fit your feet means that your walk will be more natural and healthy during exercise and in daily motion.

Sit And Stand With Posture In Mind

Perhaps the biggest reason that these exercise tips for our patients are so important is that strong and flexible muscles will help you have good posture. Be mindful of the following as you move through your day:

• When sitting, your feet should be on the floor, your shoulders should be relaxed, and your forearms should remain parallel with the ground.
• If you will be standing for a time, make sure that you maintain posture by tucking your stomach muscles in.
• When standing for an especially long period of time, be sure to shift your weight from one foot to the other and from the heels to the toes and back again.

These simple tips for maintaining good posture will passively work your muscles and result in a healthier spine.

Passive Stretches For Large Muscles

Finally, it is important to target large muscle groups with passive exercises. Use your weight to slowly stretch your hamstrings, your piriformis, and your entire back. Passive stretching is gentle and relieves stress points that cause back pain. These gentle exercises provide a great deal of relief and are easily adjusted to suit your current ability.

Your chiropractor will work with you to design an exercise program that is optimal for you. Be sure to follow through with the plan and include these tips in your regular work out to experience the joy of healing from your care.
