Scoliosis doesn’t just bend your spine—it changes how your whole body stacks and moves. When the spine twists and curves, your hips often tilt unevenly. That tilt throws off balance from the ground up, creating a ripple effect in posture, strength, and even confidence.

What Is Scoliosis?

Most people have some natural spinal curves. Scoliosis is diagnosed when the angle is 10° or more. Anything less is within a normal range.

And here’s the hard truth: scoliosis is progressive. If ignored, the curve can worsen over time. Early action = better long-term outcomes.

What Else Can Scoliosis Lead To?

Because the spine is your central pillar, scoliosis can trigger other postural problems:

• Uneven hips (lateral pelvic tilt) → pelvis gets pulled upward on one side

• Anterior pelvic tilt → exaggerated arch in the lower back

• Flat back posture → spine loses its natural curves, reducing shock absorption

• Shoulder imbalance → one shoulder rides higher, or a shoulder blade wings out

• Forward head posture → neck shifts forward to counterbalance the spine

• Compensations down the chain → knee valgus, flat feet, or uneven gait

Nothing in your body happens in isolation. When your spine rotates, it pulls muscles and joints out of alignment everywhere else.

Symptoms of Scoliosis

Mild scoliosis often sneaks in without pain, but there are red flags to look for:

• Uneven shoulders

• One shoulder blade sticking out more

• One hip sitting higher than the other (uneven hips)

• Rib cage lifted more on one side when bending forward

• Forward head posture or an exaggerated arch in the lower back

The more severe the curve, the more likely you’ll deal with postural issues, chronic pain, reduced mobility, or even breathing problems.

How Scoliosis Creates Uneven Hips

The technical term is lateral pelvic tilt—one hip sits higher than the other.

Here’s why:

• Vertebrae tilt and twist abnormally.

• Spinal muscles tighten unevenly.

• Those muscles attach to the pelvis and literally yank one side upward.

• Result: hips that don’t line up, which changes the way you squat, walk, and move.

Treatment Options for Scoliosis (and the MoveU Truth)

Spinal Fusion Surgery

Dr. Mike calls it what it is: invasive, restrictive, and often unnecessary. Spinal fusion locks parts of your spine together with rods and screws. Sure, it straightens things on an X-ray, but it sacrifices mobility and doesn’t solve the root cause. Many patients still struggle with pain after the procedure.

Chiropractic Care

Adjustments can be helpful for temporary relief and improved mobility. Dr. Mike is a chiropractor himself—but here’s the kicker: chiro alone won’t fix scoliosis. That’s why he built MoveU. He knew one man adjusting patients all day wasn’t enough.

People need tools to fix their own sh*t—to strengthen weak spots, retrain movement, and keep their spine aligned long-term.

The Schroth Method

This scoliosis-specific physical therapy teaches custom 3D exercises to elongate, de-rotate, and stabilize the spine. It’s effective—but often pricey and clinic-bound.

The MoveU Method

Instead of patchwork fixes, MoveU has a comprehensive, step-by-step system to help you correct misalignments yourself. The upcoming Scoliosis & Uneven Hips Program goes deep on:

• Realigning your spine and pelvis together

• Building strength where scoliosis leaves you weak

• Releasing tension where muscles are overworked

• Training positional awareness so you move in alignment all day

Why Coaching Doubles Your Results

Exercises only work if you do them right. That’s where MoveU coaching makes the difference. Upload your videos, and our coaches break down your form, show you corrections, and hold you accountable.

Members who use coaching see twice the progress because they stop guessing. The exercises stop being “just motions” and become tools that actually change your body.

Years of chronic pain brought me to MoveU. Diagnoses: hypermobility, hip dysplasia, snapping hip w/pain, lumbar/thoracic scoliosis, multiple disc bulges & osteoarthritic changes throughout the spine. 

 

EIGHT years of daily chronic pain is gone! I returned to work in healthcare with zero daily pain thanks to the MoveU essentials. I’m hiking high elevation mountains again, carrying my day pack pain-free. My next major goal is to return to running... I’m only just getting started! - Tracy Chaney
