__//**Introduction**//__ If I were to say the word **//Scoliosis//** what would come to mind**//?//** For most they would recognize the word, but few understand its meaning. For someone with Scoliosis they know the meaning all to well. For me I found out the meaning at the beginning of my 5th grade year. I went through many different treatment options, but few seemed to help. I wore the back brace, but my spine still got worse. I considered surgery, but it wouldn’t help. With all these fail treatments I became frustrated and began loss hope. I was in constant back pain and knew I need to find some relief, with out the use of pain medications. I began to play tennis in the summer and I began to find the relief I was looking for. I started to wonder if physical activity seemed to be helpful for other people with scoliosis. **Although surgery is seen as the only treatment for scoliosis, doctors overlook the importance of physical activities as a treatment.**
