Let's talk about scoliosis

I'm not a doctor and tips I'm going to share with you helped me, so have that in mind.

Two years ago a doctor said to me that I have scoliosis but it wasn't bad so she didn't send me to see a specialist. Three months ago my back started to hurt a lot. I went to a physiatrist and she sent me on physical therapy. I went there twice. They showed me exercises which I have to do every day.

Those exercises helped me a lot. I'm doing them every night and I can feel that they are helping me because the pain has reduced. I learned to relaxe and enjoy while doing them.

I sit a lot, which is bad but I can't do anything about it because it's sitting in classes, sitting for studying and so on. Many students like me have problems with their back. :(
Somewhere in the middle of the month I decided to not sit while in the tram but to stand instead. It's a a short ride which takes 15 minutes. Basically I tried to find the balance between the time I spend sitting and the time I spend standing. 

I also stand between classes. It's a five minute break every 45 minutes and it would be painful if I spent those 5 minutes sitting. I did that before and I was feeling pain. Now it's almost gone.

When I'm at home I try to sit less but that is hard because almost everything that we do includes sitting. So I try to do something else like walking my dog or any other physical activity like running. I'm not running now because I'm not that kind of a person who is running when it's cold outside so I'm waiting for nicer weather.

During the winter I only do my exercises which I learned on the therapy, I have also added some of my own, I'm walking with my dog, exercising on PE...

If you have some tips how to live easier with scoliosis please leave them in the comment section! Thank you and I hope you have an amazing day! :)
