Hang from your pull-up bar a few minutes every day.
I have 47 degree scoliosis. Weighted back extensions, side back extensions, spine waves, cobras, dead-hangs, thoracic rotation yoga type exercises. After this, generic posture improving exercises done with good form like deadlifts, rows and so on. It does very little for actually shifting spine position or anything like that but you will feel a lot better physically and it makes a big difference aesthetically. I went from basically Quasimodo tier to now no one can tell and it just looks like one side of my back is slightly more muscular. Probably got about 2cm taller just from being able to actually stand straighter because the back is stronger and can pull the spine a little bit more into alignment.
You are a bro. Thanks for posting this. No one knows how incredibly low your self esteem can be with scoliosis.

Gain enough fundamental muscle to sit back in your seat. Everyone I know with poor posture is a skeleton
Bob and Brad the two most famous physical therapists on the internet have good stretches for that
Should exercising already rectify it for you? Every since I started lifting, I've always felt the need to naturally stand up straight or it's uncomfortable.
Why dont they just lay him on the floor and stomp his spine straight?
How to improve my posture
Forgot pic
Ok bro there are like 4 scoli/kiphosis threads today but you are the first one i entered so let me type you a paragraph.
First of all i highly advise getting a trainer. Fixing scoliosis is a very long process and the mistakes you make have some permanency. Its like trying to straighten a bent needle. You might just accidentally bend it from another point instead of actually fixing it. Most of the time the body naturally puts you in a position that favors scoliosis so exercises like
may frick up your lower spine or neck instead of fixing it.
So instead the general idea is to start with stretches. No matter what degree or position your spine is, stretches that elongate you will help. Google some stretches that fix spine and you will get a shit ton of em. After that you can see a professional for exercises.
Secondly, avoid compound exercises or anything that compresses your spine. These include deadlifts, OHP, squats etc.
Third. You gotta start fixing your spine from ground up. Its clear from the pic you sent that you also have lumbar lordosis. Fix that first and move up from there.
Four. Scoliosis affects daily life and vice versa. You will have to change your daily posture as much as you can. Sitting on the computer, standing on the bus and even when you are sleeping, you probably have bad posture. Its hard to cut out these habits of bad posture but as you workout more you will gain more body awareness and slowly fix your daily posture too.
Thats all. And yeah i cannot emphasize enough on how much you should see a professional and go take an xray.
Wtf you replied to me like I was the OP
Fricking great right up though
I actually didn't realise I had an issue until I saw this thread and was like "oh shit that's me"
You actually think I've got school or whatever it's called?
This is my spine in a neutral position. Does my spine seem abnormal to an extent where I should worry?
I started lifting 4 months ago, doing almost exclusively heavy compound lifts, and I feel like it has improved my posture quite a bit, i.e. the curvature is less extreme and I naturally stand more upright than before (perhaps due to a stronger lower back and spinal erectors?)
Just let me push on it

Hindu squats and push ups alternatively deadlifts and wall sits.
