Bespoke scoliosis bracing to support posture and and day-to-day comfort

We specialise in non-surgical scoliosis bracing that is tailored to each person. Whether you are a teenager who has recently been diagnosed, or a parent exploring bracing for your child, our orthotic team can support you through assessment for brace suitability, design, fitting and follow-up.

In recognition of the Scoliosis Association’s International Scoliosis Awareness Day on 26 June, here is what you can expect from our scoliosis bracing care package.

What is Scoliosis?

Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways, often forming an S or C shape. It can develop during growth spurts, particularly in adolescence. Some people have discomfort, changes in posture, or visible changes in the back, while others have few symptoms.

We do not diagnose scoliosis. Diagnosis and imaging interpretation are provided by an appropriate medical professional. Where you already have imaging reports or measurements from your clinical team, we can use these to inform orthotic brace design, fit and adjustment.

Why choose non-surgical bracing

Surgery is not the only option. Non-surgical management may include bracing as part of a wider care plan. Bracing can help manage scoliosis and may reduce the risk of progression for some people during growth. Outcomes vary, and medical oversight remains important. Our orthotic bracing care focuses on:

  • supporting brace fit, comfort and day-to-day wearability
  • supporting posture and symmetry where possible
  • working alongside your wider clinical care pathway
  • helping you feel informed and supported throughout bracing

How we support you

Having the right support can make a real difference. Here’s what we put in place to help you feel informed, reassured and connected during bracing:

  • Direct access to our orthotic team: If you have questions about your brace, we are here. You can contact us by email, phone, WhatsApp, FaceTime, or video call.
  • Online Schroth exercise group: A specialist physiotherapist we work with runs an online Schroth support group where you can review exercises, ask questions, and get practical tips if anything feels difficult.
  • Group Schroth exercise sessions: We offer group Schroth sessions led by a specialist physiotherapist we work with. These sessions help teenagers share experiences, learn from each other, and feel less alone.
  • Patient connections: With your consent, we can introduce people to each other so they can connect and share their experiences of bracing.
  • Emotional support: Wearing a brace and adjusting to scoliosis can feel like a lot, particularly for adolescents. Where helpful, we can signpost to therapists who support young people with confidence, adjustment and wellbeing. Sessions can be provided remotely to reduce time away from school.
  • With our specially designed brace vest: We designed a lightweight, seamless, close-fitting brace vest in response to patient feedback. It’s worn under the brace as a comfortable layer between your skin and the brace, and it’s shaped specifically for Chêneau–Gensingen style braces.

If you would like to know more about our scoliosis bracing care package, please get in touch or call us on 020 8974 9989 to book an initial orthotic consultation.

“LOC has been fantastic, friendly, understanding. Anna did not pull any punches about the wearing regime and gave us all the information we needed. Polly was in her brace for less than two years. LOC has provided a really incredible service.”
