Dedicated healthcare
for individuals with scoliosis and spinal postural conditions
Who we are
Australian based clinic offering proven conservative treatment for individuals of all ages with structural and postural variations of the spine and ribcage. Our team are experts with special training and experience in the management of postural conditions including Scoliosis, Scheuermanns, Hyper-kyphosis, Pectus and Adult Degenerative Spinal conditions.
​
What we do
Treatment's at our clinic are part of a multidisciplinary care model with a team of Specialist, Physiotherapist, Exercise Physiologist and Orthotist overseeing your care. Effective treatment and management requires early detection and monitoring, early intervention through specialised scoliosis exercises and bracing for progressive curves, and when surgery is indicated, referral to trusted orthopaedic specialists and assistance with post-op rehab.
​
How we can help
Our team will guide you toward the best evidence - based treatment for your scoliosis or other postural condition while supporting your physical and emotional health. Treatment is individualised to the curve and the person; the primary goal to influence the curvature to lessen/stop progression, improve posture, address symptoms or functional concerns (if present), or to help you recover post surgery.

Treatments
Effective, evidence-based, non-surgical treatment of postural conditions in children and adults
Guidance from experts
Our team are here to help answer your questions and guide you toward the best treatment/s.
​
Our Initial Spinal Assessment is an extended appointment with plenty of time for questions and in-depth discussion about treatment options available to you or your child; this may include specialised curve-specific exercises, postural advice and activity modifications and manual therapy, or a more intensive program if you are coming from afar. Bracing is often recommended and used in progressive curves to limit progression of the curvature and we provide custom-made scoliosis braces in-house. Surgical referral to our trusted network can be arranged where indicated. For those with pain, we help you better understand your condition, the where, what and why behind your pain, and long term solutions to overcome them. Our team will provide you with research resources specific to your and your curve to show how our treatments can help you.

Scoliosis Treatment from experienced therapists
Our evidence based treatments delivered by an experienced care-team in collaboration with your specialist ensures effective treatment, and thus optimal outcomes.
For kids and teens: scoliosis specific exercises are helpful at any stage of your journey - whether you are watching and waiting or wearing a brace,there are multiple research studies supporting their use, especially during the period of monitoring where they were shown to be superior than monitoring alone.​ Custom scoliosis bracing is often needed for progressive scoliosis especially in younger patients, combing bracing with specialised exercise programs are shown to be more effective than bracing alone.
For adults: specialised physiotherapy and specific, individualised exercise programs help scoliosis patients to overcome their symptoms and adopt a more balanced posture while also reducing pain/stiffness and stabilising/ lessening the curve’s progression without the need for surgery.
​
For those post surgery: our close collaboration with scoliosis orthopaedic surgeons allows us to provide tailored post operative rehabilitation programmes and post-op care, as well as address any ongoing or new pain. For those awaiting surgery physiotherapy can help to reduce pain/stiffness and improve spinal flexibility in preparation for surgery.
