He used to suffer a lot of lower back pain and discovered that movements and breathing exercises kept him feeling limber and made the pain virtually disappear. He also believes golf has helped, the twisting action of swinging.
Do you swim? I enjoy swimming and although I dont have scoliosis I do get a lot of general back pain that swimming helps.

also, besides swimming, check with your doctor for some more exercizes, and if they are right for you, to be sure that the things that you are doing will help you and your degree of scoliosis.
