I was diagnosed with scoliosis recently. It's mild from what the X Ray report said but either way I'm worried.
What's a good workout routine that doesn't apply a lot of pressure to my back?
For now I switched from barbel squat to leg press.
What routine is good for me and what should I do to avoid risking more back injury?
Thanks guys
congrats, you have an excuse to never squat or deadlift

Fuck but I love doing those
Any alternatives?

maybe bulgarian squats

don't worry too much. contact a physician maybe that can show you how to fix it (if it's mild there is a good chance you can), do a fuckload of lateral movements (side bends, woodchoppers etc.) and be very mindful of form.
don't worry about your lifts though. i just got to a 230kg deadlift this week and i've never had any back pain as a result of it.
I have 9 degrees of scoliosis. Never had a problem.
Physical activities include running and lifting. Practiced swimming for a couple years.
Also, I'm doing the SS meme and suffering more on OHP than squat/deadlift.

how is doing squats in bulgaria any different from doing them in the usa??

Bulgarian squats are heavier.
Just compare 100 kgs to 100 lbs!

I had scoliosis for having flat feet and bad posture and doing insane amounts of pullups made it almost dissapear, also i grew 5cm in the process after i had stopped growing for 2 years

Yoga between weight days
Saying you have Scoliosis is like saying you cut yourself, it could mean anything from a papercut to a severed carotid in your neck. It is all about the severity.
I have Scoliosis and it is so bad that doing normal weightlifting for a couple of years (3x5 squats, deadlifts, etc w/ moderate gains) eventually caused me to suffer a pinched nerve in my back that will fuck me up for the rest of my life.

Don't know if it works for every type of scoliosis but it sure worked on mine, at least i don't think it's that noticable anymore

It's alright to barbel squat,I have a mild curve but that's never held me back.
Personally I sleep in a specific way to try and correct it myself, don't know if it actually helps but feels bretty gud.

Just say two inches you foreign fuck
>>36524153
Wait I don't understand your figure there. What's going on?
>>36524449
I'm sleeping on the bottom of the curve so hopefully gravity and my bodyweight will help pull it down and correct it
