Are sports and PE classes dangerous for kids with scoliosis?

In most cases, physical exercise is beneficial for children with scoliosis. In this episode, I’m covering some of the most common questions I get from parents of kids who have scoliosis:

  • Why physical activity is important for people with scoliosis
  • Which sports are best for spinal health
  • Activities that should be approached with caution
  • Reliable resources for learning more about scoliosis
  • How to advocate for your child at school

Catch the full episode for all the details.
