Ahead of the Curve, The Scoliosis Experience

Episode 131: How to Make Side Planks Support Your Scoliosis


Listen Later

Side planks are one of the most confusing exercises for people with scoliosis, and today I’m clearing up the guesswork once and for all.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the essentials: how to look at your own curve pattern, what a side plank should be doing for you, and how to keep your spine aligned instead of unintentionally reinforcing your asymmetries. I also walk through the full progression of side plank variations so you can train with clarity instead of forcing yourself into shapes your spine isn’t ready for.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• How to identify the concave and convex sides of your curve

• How single vs multi-curve patterns change your side plank strategy

• Why your stronger-feeling side isn’t always the side that needs more attention

• What overcorrecting looks like and how to avoid it

Side planks can be a powerful piece of your scoliosis strength training when you know how to tailor them to your unique spine. If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to do them safely, this episode will help you move with confidence.
