June is #ScoliosisAwarenessMonth!
In the UK, scoliosis is usually treated with a full-time brace (20 hrs/day). Other countries may often use braces only worn at night.

The BASIS Team had a brilliant time meeting everyone at the British Scoliosis Society @BritScoliosis conference last week.
We're need 20 more participants to be half way to our overall target - can we reach this by the end of the year?!

More than half of the teenagers having surgery for scoliosis present with a curve that has already progressed beyond a size that can be treated in a brace.
We need to identify curves as early as possible! This video shows how you can:

June is Scoliosis awareness month. So, fantastic to randomise the 300th participant to the BASIS study, which compares full time vs. night time brace for adolescent scoliosis.
