Scoliosis can affect more than spinal alignment — it can also change how the rib cage moves when you breathe.
With thoracic scoliosis, spinal rotation may cause one side of the rib cage to become more compressed while the other expands more freely. Even when lung function tests appear normal, some people may notice uneven chest expansion, shallow breathing, stiffness, or reduced endurance during activity.
In our latest article, we explore:
* How scoliosis changes rib cage mechanics
* Why breathing can become asymmetrical
* When scoliosis may affect lung function
* How scoliosis-specific breathing retraining may support chest expansion and posture
* Simple ways to become more aware of breathing asymmetry
Breathing exercises are not a stand-alone correction for scoliosis, but when incorporated into an individualised scoliosis-specific programme, they may help improve chest mobility, postural control and overall function.
