Scoliosis is a complex condition, and managing it effectively requires expertise, precision, and the right approach.
The LOC Scoliosis Brace is a bespoke 3D scoliosis brace designed to support three-dimensional in-brace correction. We design and make each brace in-house, with follow-up and adjustments to support fit, comfort and day-to-day wearability for teenagers and adults with scoliosis.
In our published cohort, the LOC Scoliosis Brace achieved an average in-brace correction of around 78% when worn as prescribed.*
Clinical data findings
*In-brace correction is an immediate, ‘in the brace’ measurement and it does not guarantee long-term curve change. Results vary depending on factors such as curve type, growth stage and wear time.
Published studies report a range of average in-brace corrections across different brace designs, depending on brace type and study methodology.
We first partnered with a European specialist and in-house physiotherapist to refine their braces, building expertise in treating patients of all ages. Drawing on this experience, we developed our own scoliosis brace, designed to improve curve correction and treatment outcomes.
The LOC Scoliosis Brace was designed by Senior Orthotist Anna Courtney, an experienced in-house clinician at The London Orthotic Consultancy (LOC). It’s based on the Cheneau-Gensingen brace and uses Schroth principles.
Every aspect of the LOC Scoliosis Brace’s design, assessment, and production is managed in-house.
Many other braces in the UK are designed and produced externally, meaning clinicians have less control over their fit and therefore, effectiveness. By designing and adjusting every brace in-house, we can fine-tune the 3D forces applied to the spine to support more precise in-brace correction.
Since 2015, we’ve fitted more than 1,500 bespoke scoliosis braces, a number that continues to rise exponentially each year. It is increasingly chosen by teenagers and families because of its slimline, lower-profile design and our focus on measurable in-brace correction, comfort and ongoing review.
The LOC Scoliosis Brace offers several key features and benefits:
Our outcomes are designed to support strong in-brace correction, with a bespoke approach for each patient.
Clinical data shows that the LOC Scoliosis Brace achieves an average in-brace correction of 78% when worn as prescribed.
Unlike standard braces that mainly target the sideways curve, the LOC Scoliosis Brace is designed to correct the spine in all three planes:
Using in-house 3D surface scanning and any existing medical imaging reports or measurements provided by your clinical team, we review orthotic fit and make adjustments as needed. This approach supports more balanced posture and improved symmetry.
Every brace is assessed, designed, and produced in-clinic. This ensures exceptional quality control and allows for adjustments to be made quickly and efficiently by each patient’s dedicated orthotist.
The LOC Scoliosis Brace has been developed with input from spinal consultants and doctors who have reviewed our clinical data over time.
Their expertise has helped refine our brace’s design and functionality, to support fit, comfort and orthotic management. Our clinical data supports this ongoing development.
Patients and healthcare professionals refer to us for specialist scoliosis bracing and ongoing orthotic support. We receive regular referrals from spinal consultants and scoliosis services across the UK, including organisations such as:
The bracing outcomes we’ve achieved with the LOC Scoliosis Brace have earned us international recognition. We regularly present findings at major scoliosis and spinal conferences with leading experts in the field.

A few key markers make our bracing approach a bit different.
Scoliosis can progress unpredictably, particularly during adolescence, so frequent reviews are essential to maintain the brace’s effectiveness. We offer regular follow-ups and review appointments to support fit, comfort and orthotic effectiveness over time. Where you have updated measurements from your medical team (for example, Cobb angle from an X-ray report), we can use these to inform orthotic adjustments alongside your wider care pathway.
Regular monitoring and reviews are important. If a brace is not reviewed and adjusted as needed, it may be less comfortable or less effective over time.
Patients and parents will be able to contact their dedicated orthotist for any questions during their treatment journey. Between reviews, our admin team can arrange in-person, phone, or video appointments with your orthotist.
Regular progress updates, including any imaging measurements provided by your medical team, can help patients and parents stay motivated and informed.
Let our orthotic team support you on your scoliosis journey, with ongoing reviews and adjustments to help you get the most from your brace.
In our published cohort, the LOC Scoliosis Brace achieved an average in-brace correction of 78% when worn as prescribed. In-brace correction is an immediate, ‘in the brace’ measurement, and it does not guarantee long-term curve change. Results vary depending on factors such as curve type, growth stage and wear time.
The brace’s bold design enables advanced three-dimensional curve management for both single and complex double scoliosis curves. In selected cases, the brace is designed to achieve overcorrection in-brace, where clinically appropriate and carefully monitored by our orthotic team.
Designed to be slim and lightweight, with a low-profile fit that can be easier to manage day to day. We’ve also added straps to the front of the brace so patients can put it on and take it off by themselves.
The brace has been fine-tuned based on feedback from our scoliosis patients and spinal consultants. It has been presented internationally and is supported by our published research for its bracing outcomes. Our published data also demonstrates measurable 3D correction, confirming that the brace influences coronal, sagittal, and rotational alignment.
We may use low-dose EOS imaging arranged with an independent imaging provider to review in-brace positioning and support orthotic adjustment. Imaging is performed by the external provider, and we use the images and any measurements provided to inform brace fit, comfort and orthotic management. We do not provide radiology or diagnostic imaging reports.
We offer scoliosis consultation, brace fittings and ongoing care at:
A bespoke brace can help reduce the risk of progression during growth and support curve management as part of a wider care plan. Our brace works by gently guiding your spine into a more corrective in-brace position, with follow-up and adjustments to support fit and comfort.
“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.”
Zoe, Polly’s mother – Scoliosis patient (adolescent)
