Brief summary: The objective of this study is to compare the effects of core stabilization exercises versus schroth's program on posture and quality of life in females with idiopathic scoliosis

Detailed description: Scoliosis is a 3 dimension condition that effects most of our population specifically females. It is not only a bend in your spine but according to new research, its also twisting it. The curvature effects the effected individual physical and the social anxiety due to appearance and a continues state of lethargy effects their quality of life immensely. The posture is poorly effected along with a visual appearance. Often someone with scoliosis might find good posture difficult. Often someone with scoliosis will lean forwards and to the side either slightly or a lot. They will often try to avoid doing this, which can lead to slightly bent knees and the pelvis tilting backwards. Scoliosis is often defined as spinal curvature in the "coronal" (frontal) plane. While the degree of curvature is measured on the coronal plane, scoliosis is actually a more complex, three-dimensional problem which involves all 3 planes. It is defined by the Cobb's angle of spine curvature in the coronal plane and is often accompanied by vertebral rotation in the transverse plane and hypokyphosis in the sagittal plane. These abnormalities in the spine, costal-vertebral joints, and the rib cage produce a 'convex' and 'concave' hemithorax.

Only females having idiopathic scoliosis with cob's angle 10°-26° with age ranging between 19-30 are included and any subjects with surgical interventions are excluded.

Population will be divided in to two groups. One group will perform scroth exercises for 4 weeks and the other group will perform core straightening exercises for 4 weeks each. Once the time period is complete, the posture will be measured using pelvic and shoulder goniometers to check the level of tilt and for quality of lifestyle, we will be using quality of life (Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire)
