Improper body posture habits, such as carrying a heavy bag on one shoulder, result in the shoulders becoming higher on the other side, causing weakness in the trunk muscles which triggers the risk of scoliosis. Scoliosis is a spinal deformity characterized by lateral curvature with or without spinal rotation. Scoliosis can be functional scoliosis which can be corrected while structural scoliosis tends to persist. Approximately 15-20% of cases of scoliosis have an unknown initial cause and 80% of cases of structural scoliosis have an idiopathic etiology and are usually found in children or adolescents. The method used is a question and answer lecture and shows the core stabilization training model and the Schroth method.
