Scoliosis self check

If I can discover my scoliosis in my early age that will be better for my recovery. If I can practice yoga earlier, that will be great. If I can meet my current Chinese sifu, that will be ... Sometimes, we always have regretted why we cannot be earlier. The problem I believe lied in our knowledge. Therefore, today I wish to share with you the self check on scoliosis. Hope you can recognise the symptoms and start you treatment or rectification earlier.

1. Eyelid
If you noticed my eyelid, my left eye is single-edged eyelid and my right eye tend to be double-edged eyelid. In normal human body, we are symmetric, that means our left and right should be balance. Hence, this is my first sign that indicated my unbalance structure.


 2. Feet
In normal circumstance, when you lie down, your feet center line angle should be 60 degree left and right (picture 1). Picture 2 and 3 indicated either front or back displacement.


3. Leg shaped
You can notice that sometimes people tend to have "O" shaped leg and "X" shaped leg, this is another signal you can notice yourself.


This is the basic signals that I like to share, but there are more signals. I hope this can help.

It's important for parents to pay attention to how their children develop as they grow. Any abnormality should be brought to a doctor's attention immediately. It's better to recognize a potential condition as early as possible.
