She highlighted the challenges we face in this field and the potential research opportunities that could transform non-surgical scoliosis treatment. A big thank you to RMIT for this collaboration—it’s a step toward tackling these hurdles together!

She’s lived it - now she’s sharing it.

Hear one patient’s powerful message about scoliosis. Let her message inspire you to take action if you’ve noticed anything unusual with yourself or a loved one. 💚

This Scoliosis Awareness Month, let’s bust some myths

Scoliosis isn’t always painful. It isn’t caused by bad posture. And no - it doesn’t mean you can’t play sports.

Early detection and the right care can change everything.

👉 Share to spread the facts. Tag someone who needs to know.

❄️ In winter, bulky clothes and slower routines can make scoliosis symptoms in adults easy to overlook.

Look for signs like uneven shoulders when carrying a bag, stiffness after long workdays, or noticing one side of your coat fitting tighter. Even subtle shifts could signal something more.

👉 Early detection leads to better outcomes - get checked if something feels off. Contact us today.

Winter Sports & Uneven Performance: Is It More Than Just Coordination?

If you or your child consistently favor one side, struggle with balance, or show uneven strength during winter training — don’t just chalk it up to the cold or the off-season. These could be early signs of scoliosis.

Even in cooler weather and layered uniforms, the body tells a story. Pay attention to posture, movement, and performance. Early detection is key.

🔎 Start with a quick, visual check using online scoliosis screening app: app.scoliscreen.com and contact us if you see anything unusual.

We have another excellent video to share courtesy of our ScoliCare Exercise Physiologists. This time we are focusing on strengthening the muscles that help stabilise the spine. These are beneficial for building a strong foundation, improving posture, preventing some injuries and improving function.

It is important to note - these are general strength exercises and don't take into account specific conditions. If you wish for more specific advice please come see us at one of the Scolicare clinics.

Feel free to share and tag anyone that you think may benefit from these.

Our Exercise Physiologists have put together a video demonstrating some spinal mobility stretches to help improve posture. Especially beneficial to those sitting at a desk all day but also ideal for those working from home or those who don't move too much throughout the day.

These simple and easy to do stretches are all in either a seated, standing or lying position and can help with back stiffness. However, while they are suitable for almost everyone please don’t attempt if you currently have acute back pain!

We have two brace design competition winners!

We simply couldn't decide on which design we loved more as both had their own special story behind them. In the end we decided to have two winners!

Our first winner was Jessica Hobbs who loves music and explained her design - "When I first heard about this competition, I started thinking about some ideas. The first thing that came to my head was music, because I absolutely love music. I listen to it a lot and I play lots of instruments, I have found that this has really helped me through my scoliosis journey. As time went by, I started to second guess my design, as music is not for everyone. But something kept telling me to draw it. As I was drawing it, I got thinking of how all these music notes remind me of having scoliosis. When reading music its starts off really hard, just like when you get your first brace, it can really seem like a really dark time for some, but as you go through the ups and downs it gets a bit brighter and easier as you know your brace is supporting your scoliosis. Just like this drawing, my music notes start off dark and then finish off bright. It can be the same when you listen to a song or play an instrument, when it starts, you may have your assumptions whether or not you like it, but as the song plays you will like parts of it, others you will not, this can be the same with scoliosis when you really think about it. So, the reason why I chose this design is not because I necessarily love music, but it is to remind everyone it will be OK. No matter how dark things may seem, there always is a light at the end of the tunnel. :) "

Our second winner was Bronte O'Shannessy who beautifully wrote about her design - "Koi fish are capable of adapting to many climates and conditions and symbolise strength. Koi fish show great determination, dedication, perseverance & success. Their spine is a feature of the way they navigate their lives."

These two designs will now be sent to our graphic design team to be converted into designs for ScoliCare's 3D custom braces, so other patients will be able to choose them for their own brace design. Massive congratulations to both winners and thanks to everyone who participated in the competition!

Jessica Lesslie recently shared her Scoliosis story with her school to help raise awareness of the disease during Scoliosis Awareness Month.

Jessica was diagnosed with a Scoliosis at 13 years of age and had to wear a brace for two years to prevent the curve from worsening. While initially finding it quite a struggle Jessica learned some very valuable life lessons and turned the whole experience into something positive.

We are very proud of Jessica and are delighted to be able to share her story which you can read in full here:

Our third webinar for Scoliosis Awareness Month is a live interview with one of our teenage scoliosis patients, Nora-Lee.

Before she came to see us, Nora-Lee was diagnosed with scoliosis and referred for surgery, which would have required a full spinal fusion. However, she is an athlete and Hip Hop dancer and wanted to not permanently lose her spinal flexibility. So she and her mum opted for a combination of scoliosis exercises and bracing at the ScoliCare Clinic Sydney.

She diligently stuck to her treatment routine, and found ways to stay positive throughout. As a result, her scoliosis is now reduced to a degree that no longer requires surgery.

Nora-Lee will be online with Dr Juan to talk about her experience and advice for anyone going through the same journey.
