Functional or Postural Scoliosis presents aside-bend of the spine with rotation, resulting mainly from such things as poor posture or repeated unbalanced activity (e.g. carrying heavy things on one side, children, bags etc).
The test for functional scoliosis is for the person to bend forward (e.g. Uttanasana), and notice if the lateral curve disappears.
Function-postural scoliosis is almost always reversible by increasing and correcting postural awareness.
When practiced mindfully , yoga is effective in addressing asymmetries in muscle tone.#scoliosis #yoga by @silviamedinelli484

Structural Scoliosis presentes as a side-bend of the spine with rotation that is due to the shape of the bones having been alerted. When a person bends forward (e.g. into Uttanasana), if the curve remains and the rotation of the spine becomes more obvious, then the scoliosis is structural.
In the above case, the scoliosis is concentrated in the thorasic region, curving to the right,causing the shoulder blade to wing off the back.#scoliosis #yoga #wellbeing by @silviamedinelli484
