What is the prevention of scoliosis at home? Posture check for 1 minute

The first thing you can do to avoid scoliosis is to have regular home checkups. Now with modern smartphones, it can be done in 1 minute!

How?

Option 1: You need an assistant or mobile phone

Option 2: Also the rope is required which is stretched clearly vertically

1. What should your assistant do? Ask the assistant to take pictures 4 times: face, back and different sides, using a special setting “grid” or later draw lines in any photo editor. If you are not a sure user, then you can carefully hang a thread or rope.
2. Basically, the difference in shoulder height will be visible immediately.
3. It will be perfectly visible whether the chest is symmetrical and the pelvic bones.
4. In the same way, take a photo of only the legs, and you will see exactly whether the feet fall in one direction, whether the knees touch or the same length of the legs.
5. Make a “wet test” for the feet. Wet the foot slightly and place it on a soft cloth or paper. Evaluate your imprint. What do the toes look like, which side is pressed harder by the foot displacement?
6. At the picture from the sides, the most important task is to look at the shoulders, shoulders, sag in the back and abdomen. The shoulders should be lowered and not protrude. The scapulae should protrude slightly, not protrude. Deflection or natural lordosis – moderate. The abdomen does not fall out. If a strong sag and abdomen protrudes forward in the lower part – a clear sign of kyphosis.
7. The vertical line in the photo (or a stretched rope) should run clearly along the spine from the crown to the sacrum. This will clearly show whether there are deformities of the spine.
8. When looking at the vertical line, pay attention to the waistline, whether it is symmetrical or the same arm length.
9. Carefully examine the neck to see if the neck is tilted or forward.

What other advice can be given to prevent scoliosis, apart from a careful regular examination?
