Yep! You can bet it will. I mean, I don't know a lot about scoliosis itself but Pilates and all that is rele good for that. I recommend Pilates if you take ne road. Have fun, good luck.

-the plus is it's also very relieving of stress-

nope..it wont..i have scoliosis too and my doctor said mine wasnt that bad so i just have to wait until i get older and grow taller. im not sure how bad yours is but if its that bad your doctor would have told you to wear a brace! ask your doctor though if you think it might. but im 89% possitive it wont! hope i helped

Don't know if this site will do you any good but it was informative about scoliosis and yoga. The girl who wrote it recommends some books and you can also email her if you need more info.

I also have scoliosis, but had to have a spinal fusion at 15. My doctor always told me that any kind of exercise was good as long as you don't overdue it. I work out regularly and I do have pain, but I feel better now than I did before when I didn't exercise. There is a web-site dedicated to people with scoliosis and they have wonderful forums. You could also go there for more information. The support you get is fantastic and they have a wealth of information about everything!

Best of luck to you!

yeah, i have scoliosis too and i love yoga because it really does help my back. yoga prevents more curving in the spine and decreases pain. here is a site with some information. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) But, i think that pilates is gonna make the scoliosis worse. xoxo peachgirly

dwarp answered Saturday April 16 2005, 4:37 pm:
It could help. Pliates and yoga both work with relaxing your muscles in the right way and strengthening them properly. It probably won't make your condition a lot better, but it will stop it from getting worse because you will be more concious about your posture and won't curve your spine as much. The only thing is that pliates is a pretty strenuous workout and it might actually make your scoliosis worse, because you are lying on your back a lot.

Shellybeth101 answered Saturday April 16 2005, 4:31 pm:
I have scoliosis also! I have to wear a back brace because mine is so bad. I havent heard anywhere that pilates or yoga works. My doctor says that they dont really know what causes it or prevents it and that the best thing they can do is surgery or make you wear a backbrace. But dont worry if your curve is bad enough to where you have to wear a brace you will find out by a doctor. But for right now I would just listen to my mom and besides doing yoga is great excercise you will feel really really relaxed and comfortable with your body!

Well, I know that yoga would work and help if you have Scoliosis but for some people, pilates just makes their back worse (pain-wise). Try doing one of these things or both and if it doesn't help, then stop.

cailoisa answered Saturday April 16 2005, 4:18 pm:
I have it too. Yoga will make you feel quite a bit better. Pilates kills my back. Focus on exercises that strengthen you upper and lower back, and your abdominals. Remember to take it slow to start with to avoid strain.
