Hello again Here's an update of our progress to-date:- We went to WWK on Septenber 18th and they recommended surgery. They also said that no conservative brace treatment would ever correct her rib hump either. My daughter was very upset as she does not want surgery and it was a bit of a shock. They ...

So has anyone ever heard of anyone going to the WWK for conservative korsett/physio treatment at all? The British Forces Drs etc who I have spoken to have only heard of one spinal surgery case being sent there too, so now I am really concerned/worried. I was led to believe all along that my daughter...

Thank you, this info is priceless!

Not only does this really restrict what type of top she can wear it's really dangerous whenever she takes it off as I think she is going to s...

Sorry..................... For a second there I thought it was Friday (which is why I wished you a good weekend!) I think I need a holiday!!!

Vielen Danke for all your help so far. It is excellent being able to speak to people in Germany who know about where to go for treatment. I have been feeling so helpless. I have asked general questions about treatment on a UK forum but obviously the people there only know about the UK. The informati...

Thank you. So do many Germans travel to these places especially as the 'centres of excellence'??? How about the actual orthopaedic scoliosis specialists in Germany. Are there also many of these??? We live in Germany but Im just trying to decide whether my daughter should get her future treatment her...
