Ahead of the Curve, The Scoliosis Experience
Episode 125: Cobb Angle vs Rotation in Scoliosis: Why It Matters
24 Aug 2025
When it comes to your scoliosis, your Cobb angle is only half the story…In this episode of Ahead of the Curve, I’m breaking down the difference between Cobb angle and spinal rotation and why both matter. Most people know their Cobb angle by heart, but scoliosis isn’t a two-dimensional condition. It’s three-dimensional, and the “hidden twist” of rotation often explains more about your pain, posture, and daily comfort than the number your doctor tracks.In this episode, you’ll hear:✅ What your Cobb angle actually measures (and what it doesn’t)✅ Why someone with a “small” curve can still have visible posture changes✅ How spinal rotation impacts your breathing, balance, and muscle activation ✅ Simple strategies you can use right now to reduce rotation and feel better in your bodyIf you’ve ever felt frustrated that your Cobb angle doesn’t reflect how your scoliosis feels, this episode will give you a clearer picture and practical tools to be more in control of your curve. Don’t forget you can get even more tools and strategies to help with your scoliosis in my upcoming free masterclass, the Curve Lengthening Lab.Resources mentioned:Sign up here for the FREE Masterclass, The Curve Lengthening LabGrab the scoliometer that I talk about HERESchedule a Discovery Call w/ MeghanMy Virtual Scoliosis Coaching ServicesMy WebsiteFREE At-Home Exercises For Scoliosis
