First off, great work on battling the scoliosis and not letting it hold you back (virtual fist bump). Overall, I’m a big fan of the reverse hyper for not only strengthening your spinal erectors, but also helping “decompress” your spine, and allowing you to “tolerate” more squats in your program. That being said the function of your spinal erectors during squats is more of a static/stabilizing one. So for even better transference to your squat then I’d recommend things like: seated goodmornings (popularized by Louie Simmons), wide stance goodmornings, heavy zercher holds and front-loaded carries. Pick just one for your assistance work that day, and then rotate exercises like these as frequently as you’d like (e.g., seated goodmornings one week, zercher holds the next etc). Hope that helps and feel free to drop any followup questions.
