Scoliosis is a common spinal deformity in adolescents, affecting growth and overall health. This study explores the corrective effects of Tai Chi on adolescent scoliosis from the perspectives of sports biomechanics and rehabilitation science. Sixty adolescents with mild to moderate scoliosis were randomly assigned to a Tai Chi intervention group or a conventional rehabilitation group (n=30 each). The Tai Chi group practiced three times per week for 12 weeks, while the control group received standard physical therapy. Assessments included scoliosis angle, trunk rotation (ATR), postural balance, pain perception, and quality of life. Results showed significant improvements in the Tai Chi group across all parameters (P < 0.05). Biomechanical analysis indicated that Tai Chi enhances spinal muscle strength, stability, and flexibility, while its mind-body regulation alleviates anxiety and pain. These findings suggest that Tai Chi is an effective and promising rehabilitation method for adolescent scoliosis correction.
