Scoliosis involves lateral curvature of the spine, creating asymmetrical muscle patterns and movement tendencies. Mobility work addresses the tightness that develops on the concave side while strengthening the stretched muscles on the convex side. The goal is balanced mobility and function, not correcting the curve. Appropriate exercise improves comfort and prevents progression.
