Strength training can help strengthen the muscles but best is to have a healthcare professional guide you.
Lifting weights may be beneficial for scoliosis. It would depend on the amount of weight, what the actual exercise is, maybe other factors as well.
Yes. But the details are important. The degree of scoliosis, the location, as well as how much weight, and the lifting techniques.
It is important to maintain good muscle strength in legs, arms and body, as weaker limbs and truck will ultimately cause more stress on the spine.
See a physiatrist, a rehab doctor, to help guide you through your rehabilitation.
Keep well.
