Scoliosis is not my particular specialty.
Core, back extensions and swimming will help but Chiropractic is vital to stop or possibly reduce the curvature.
We recommend Schroth exercises. Schroth exercises are asymmetric scoliosis-specific postural exercises that aim to improve posture and pain and to teach patients to consciously maintain the correct posture in daily living activities.
Good question. You're not going to change it after age 14, but then anything you do, concentrate on doing it symmetrically. That will allow a gentle stretch in the most restricted planes.
Exercises that are bilateral like swimming are very good for scoliosis.
