22-Min Scoliosis-Friendly CORE Stability Workout | Support your spine (BEGINNER)

We're focusing on core ACTIVATION, helping you create more stability to support your scoliosis.

This workout is a great beginner level core workout for people with scoliosis or Scheuermann's Kyphosis and is also good for those in early/middle phases of post-op spinal fusion or VBT (make sure to get cleared by your surgeon first!).

*QUESTION: we're trying a new way to explain each exercise in the video - Physio Andrea is talking through each exercise in real time instead of using voiceovers.
Which style of explainer do you prefer?

It seems easy at the start while we practice tuning into the deep muscles, but it gets challenging as we add different movements.
