This study purpose is to know about the effect of Cobb's angle of scoliosis patient by Pilates ecercise. It was executed for prove this exercise with Pilates Postural Correct Exercise(PCE), Spine Stretching Exercis(SSE), Muscle Strengthing Exercise(MSE). PCE is useful for unbalanced muscle energy and SSE gives relax for hypertensioned muscles and MSE is correcting balance for prime mover and secondary mover and so it will be recovery for elasticity and flexibility of paraspine muscles. The method study was proved with a Cobb's angle measurement of Lumbar spine by X-ray test before and after. As a result for the test, Cobb's angle by X-ray it shows reduced about 5 degree in statistics(p=0.005). And so It shows the Pilates exercise gives reduce for Scoliosis.
