I found a fascinating article on adult onset scoliosis. It states that "while there are no surefire ways to prevent all cases of adult scoliosis, certain conditions that are preventable increase the chances it will develop. One is being overweight or obese, and another is smoking. A third cause is a lack of physical fitness, resulting in weak core muscles of the trunk.
Hmmm...it seems like Pilates seems like a no brainer. Don't you agree?
