Recently, we have received numerous concerns and questions from people over the age of 40 about improving and preventing scoliosis.
The most common questions are,
1. I feel that my posture has become even worse recently due to my age.
2. When I get older, will osteoporosis and other factors cause further deformity?
3、Is it possible to improve my posture (scoliosis) by stretching exercises and muscle training?
Everyone seems to be concerned about whether or not their postural collapse will worsen at the same time that they begin to realize that their muscle strength is declining. Research has shown that muscle strength in the upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs declines year by year starting in the 30s, while muscle strength in the trunk (abdominal and back muscles) begins to decline gradually in the 40s and 50s. Thus, since scoliosis and age-related osteoarthritis are largely related to the maintenance of trunk muscle strength, muscle strengthening and stretching to improve posture can be expected to be effective even if started at this age (40s to 50s). If you have recently become concerned about postural collapse or an increase in scoliosis curves, we recommend the easy-to-follow scoliosis improvement exercises and preventive tips provided at the PhysioCenter in Tokyo.
