Scoliosis: Sophie's Story | Johns Hopkins Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Sophie has scoliosis, but thanks to early detection and a combined approach of bracing and Schroth exercises, she will not need surgery.

Some updated information with regards to treatment in the current environment.

Due to infection control procedures and protocols, which are conditions of best practice made by my professional association and Public Health England, initially I will be limited to how many people I can treat per day.

I will be wearing full PPE, mask, visor or glasses, gloves, apron and scrubs.

The treatment room and communal areas will be thoroughly cleaned between patients with an appropriate anti viral cleanser. The room will be aired between patients to reduce droplets.

I will call you for a pre treatment assessment consultation and triage the day before your appointment. If I am unable to contact you then I will not be able to treat you the following day.

Treatment time will be limited to around 45 minutes to minimise the time spent together in the treatment room.
Upon arrival kindly wait outside until I am ready for you. Please do not bring bags or rucksacks in with you. I will take your temperature and ask you to apply hand sanitiser. Please bring your own mask. I have some available for a small charge if necessary.

Unfortunately things will be a bit different for a while, so please bear with me.

I look forward to seeing you soon.
