Scoliosis and Postural Assessment

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine seen when looking from the front. In most cases the cause is unknown and it is noticed between the ages of 10 and 15, during rapid growth. Fizyoterapist Aydın Ali carries out postural and spinal assessment and runs the process alongside your orthopaedic doctor.

A physiotherapist assessing spinal alignment and posture

When is it needed?

  • Low back/back pain increasing with prolonged standing or sitting
  • Asymmetry at shoulder or hip level
  • Noticeable muscle tightness on one side, weakness on the other
  • Pain more pronounced at a certain time of day
  • A curve noticed in adulthood that was never followed up

What we do

  • Assessing which movement and time increases the pain
  • Manual therapy that reduces asymmetric loading
  • Stretching work to open shortened structures
  • Targeted strengthening of the weaker side
  • Posture awareness and daily-life ergonomics education

Scoliosis in Bursa Nilüfer

Fizyoterapist Aydın Ali provides one-to-one care for scoliosis at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.

It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.

Is the curve itself causing the pain, or the loading?

In many people with scoliosis, the source of pain isn't the degree of the curve but the constant load landing on one side of the trunk. This distinction matters: expectations aimed at the first are usually unmet, while a programme aimed at the second changes things noticeably.

In scoliosis treatment, Fizyoterapist Aydın Ali starts the assessment not with the curve but with which movement and which time of day increases the pain. The programme works to reduce asymmetric loading, open up shortened structures, and train the weaker side. If there's a risk of the curve progressing, follow-up continues together with a physician.

Is the source of pain the curve, or the loading?

In many people with scoliosis, the source of pain isn't the degree of the curve but the constant load landing on one side of the trunk. This distinction matters: expectations aimed at the curve itself are usually unmet, while a programme aimed at the loading noticeably reduces pain.

Why do complaints increase in desk workers?

Sitting in the same position for long periods further tires spinal muscles that are already loaded asymmetrically. Fizyoterapist Aydın Ali therefore also includes posture and break-routine recommendations in the programme.

What's the goal in adult scoliosis?

Since bone growth is complete, a noticeable reduction in the angle isn't expected; the goal is reducing pain, balancing asymmetric loading and preserving daily-life quality.

Frequently asked questions

How is scoliosis pain told apart from a herniated disc?

Both can cause low back pain; assessment tells the true source apart by examining which movement and position increases the pain.

Does the scoliosis angle improve with exercise in adulthood?

Once bone growth is complete, a noticeable reduction in the angle isn't expected; the programme focuses on pain and function.

Which exercises should I avoid?

There's no general ban list; movements that clearly increase pain are identified individually after assessment.
