Exercises and breathing techniques for teen scoliosis
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a 12-week program of special exercises for the spine plus hands-on breathing and diaphragm techniques. It may help reduce the curve and improve posture in teens with mild scoliosis (less than 30 degrees).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 10 and 18 years old and in your teenage years.
