Do I have scoliosis?!!

Twelve years ago I had a massage and the masseuse said quietly, under her breath something like ‘ah, bit of scoliosis there’. Think I piped up with a ‘eh? Nope!’ And that was that.
I’ve never had a backache or anything of that nature and I look perfectly normal from the front. Mind you, obvs can’t see my own back.

Fast forward to 2024 and I’ve just taken a picture in the mirror of the marks left by a shakti mat (ignore those!). WTF is this curve in my back? It’s not just these two photos, I’m now 100% sure that when I bend even slightly forward, my back looks even worse than this.

Do I have some form/degree of scoliosis? Is it even possible to get to 40 with it and have no symptoms (other than the visuals)???

Grateful for any opinions!!!

I found out i have scoliosis when i was in my 20s. For me its my ribcage that sticks out further on one side and tops never quite sit right.

If you have them I have! Do you have to go to the GP about it? Is there anything that can be done about it?
