Treatment
Scoliosis treatment for adolescents
A clear, supported journey from first assessment to confident everyday brace wear.
STEP 01
The Process
We champion the Cheneau-Gensingen (GBW) brace, developed beyond standard back braces to improve comfort and correction using specific corrective movements derived from the original Schroth method.
STEP 02
Fitting the Brace
Your child attends a fitting appointment of around 1.5 to 2 hours. The tailored brace takes 7 to 10 days to manufacture, then we fine tune it for optimum comfort and function.
STEP 03
Brace Management
A gradual wearing programme helps your child adjust, improving comfort and compliance. Regular follow up appointments keep treatment on track.
