What does the research tell us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

High quality research including children aged 10-15 years, with 20-40 degree idiopathic scoliosis shows that longer daily brace ware gives more benefit. To find out more, this\u00a0study is freely available at this link –\u00a0New England Journal of Medicine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend taking your brace off for exercise, sport,\u00a0P.E. and swimming. It is best to continue exercise during brace treatment.

There is debate about whether\u00a0wearing the brace mainly\u00a0at night is as good as\u00a0day wear. We recommend that most patients try to wear their brace at night as well as in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
