Abstract: Pathological biomechanics of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is dominated by unilateral erector spinae stiffness. This leads to morpho pathological vertebral changes that aggravate the condition. Manual therapies can be used to correct the asymmetry of the stretch reflexes, and massage techniques can be used to improve the range of motion. Pain is an aggravating factor for biomechanical disorders and can be combated by myofascial techniques. To prevent scoliosis in adults, it is possible to tone the erector spinae muscles (deadlifts and their variations, exercises with free weights, arm and leg ergometer exercises, some aquatic exercises, Pilates isometric exercises performed on a stable surface).

Key words: spinal erector muscles, scoliosis prophylaxis
