Simple exercises may strengthen back muscles in teens with curved spine

This study looked at whether specific scoliosis exercises could improve back muscle thickness and quality of life in 70 teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. One group did scoliosis-specific exercises, while the other did leg exercises, both for 12 weeks with a physiotherapist. Researchers measured muscle thickness with ultrasound and quality of life with questionnaires before and after the program.
