^Have you noticed any improvements to your posture as result of any of the workout? I have awful posture and try to do things with my chest out as often as possible, which helps a little when I remember.
I ran another mile today, up to eight in a row now.
You bet I did!
My scoliosis was the first thing I fixed, by focusing on my obliques and groin muscles, if I had to compare these with the other muscles, those were the bigger pain in my ***, because it was hard for me to isolate my knee joints from my groin muscles, and they would hurt.
Result : I would feel the imbalance between my left and right hip being lessened session after session.
My lordosis is almost gone, when standing for a long time, my lower back doesn't hurt as much, my parents also told me that they didn't notice my curved lower back anymore.
I'd say it took me about a year (nothing intense), what I did is strengthening my gluts, abs (only with planks), and stretching my hamstrings only relying on lung stretches and frontal leg swings, superman also made me feel my lower back stretched.
Parts of my lifestyle changed as well, by becoming more conscious about my sitting posture, I avoid it as much as possible, and squeeze my gluts when I am stationary.
Saw my doctor today with recent radiography pictures, all seems to have progressed a lot, my scoliosis and lordosis barely show, expect for the kyphosis that I'll need to correct by having more flexible shoulders, my chest is already stretched so that's done for that part .
Never went to the gym, I'd just look on the web for the names of the muscles I had to work, and started reproducing what I saw on youtube.
If it is of any help, keep your chin tucked as often as you can, especially when being seated, this is part of what I do to correct my upper back problems.
edit : the 5 sets of exercises I was talking about above are called the clams, they are my favorite, because you are lying comfortable on your bed while doing them.
