scoliosis & lifting - Wednesday, September 16, 2009 8:26 AM ( #1 )
I noticed that my right shoulder/upper back seems to be developing strangely, and finally remembered taht when I was in 6th grade or so (mid-80's) I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis.  This led me to start wondering if there is anything I should be aware of as I continue to increase my weight that I lift.  Hoping one of you technical sorts of guys on here will have some thoughts/perspectives.  Thanks!

I have scoliosis and it affects aspects of my lifting and running but I just adjust and push on. You could always ask your doc but chances are they'll say if it doesn't bother you, go ahead.
