Spotting scoliosis in the summer ⛱️☀️

Summer holidays mean more time by the pool, on holiday and at the beach. Scoliosis is easier to spot in the summer months, as kids spend more time in swimsuits or lighter outfits.

And that’s often when parents first notice the visual signs of scoliosis.

Knowing what to look for can help you spot scoliosis earlier, leading to better outcomes and potentially avoiding surgery later on. Here's what to keep an eye out for 👇

👉 a visibly curved spine
👉 one shoulder higher than the other
👉 one hip appearing more prominent
👉 rib cage sticking out on one side (especially noticeable from the back)
👉 head not centred over the body
👉 difficulty standing up straight
👉 back pain
👉 a difference in leg length
👉 pain in the legs or pins and needles

If you think your child may have scoliosis, we offer free video assessments for scoliosis, with one of our specialist scoliosis clinician.

Diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis at 14 years old, Polly’s scoliosis curve started progressing rapidly.

Thanks to a same-day fitting of the LOC scoliosis brace and Polly's commitment to the wear schedule, Polly managed to avoid surgery and still maintain an active lifestyle.

“The whole process was seamless," says her mum Zoe. "Polly was measured in the morning and her bespoke brace fitted in the afternoon, quite a difference to the service offered by the NHS."

Our Story

Welcome to our specific page for patients undergoing scoliosis treatment at the London Orthotic Consultancy (LOC).

Established in August 2004, the LOC was set up by by four clinicians who originally worked with the NHS in hospitals around London.

Scoliosis is defined as the abnormal twisting of the spine and can affect everyone from babies to adults though often becomes apparent during the growth spurt before puberty. Affecting around three to four in every 1,000 children in the UK, it is typically seen between the ages of 10 and 15.

At the London Orthotic Consultancy we treat scoliosis non-surgically with the Schroth method, which uses physiotherapy and if appropriate a brace, to normalise the postural alignment of the spine. Our scoliosis clinic is headed by clinician Deborah Turnbull, a BSc. CSP and HCPC registered physiotherapist, with over 10 years experience treating scoliosis with this method. In total we have three qualified Schroth method clinicians, trained in Germany by leading Schroth expert Dr Hans-Rudolf Weiss, and grandson of pioneer Katharina Schroth who developed the 3D scoliosis treatment according to Schroth in the 1920s.
