No swimming doesn't help it. In worst case it can increase your scoliosis, it helps only for the muscles. Go to a doctor and use a brace or get spinal fusion if the scoliosis is really bad. I am getting spinal fusion too but for Kyphosis and a little bit scoliosis. Do you know the degree of the scoliosis?

This is one of the few threads mentioning spinal fusion surgery in the forums.

Did you get two inches from the surgery, or did you manage to fix it through other methods?

By the way, Scarfex kind enough to reply to some of my questions regarding his height gain before leaving the forums:

QuoteThe 4-5cm came from fixing Kyphosis with braces.


Thank you.

Try bending over backwards to push forward your waist
