My mother was diagnosed with scoliosis back in middle school. She did exercises for years, and her spine stopped curving. In those days of course, it wasn't yoga-lates, it was stretching and strengthening exercises for the back.

She went through most of her life with a slight curve only and few back problems. Now in her late 50's, her spine is beginning to twist a bit more. I think she's lost about a half-inch of height.
