Hi I have scoliosis on the lower part of my spine. The curve bends to the left and is around a 32-37 degree curve. My left leg is about .5 inches shorter than the other. I am 21 years old and was wondering if I could do squats and deadlifts as part of my exercise routine if i have a balance correction insert in my shoe.

Hi..
There are certain yoga poses and physiotherapy exercises that can be helpful..
Consult a certified physical trainer and do any physical activity under his/her supervision..
However physical activity is not restricted in scoliosis patients so do not worry about it..
