A Specialist Team for Growing Spines
We help parents who feel stuck in the system.
If you've been told to “wait and see,” we give you options. Our team offers evidence-based care that provides clarity and real solutions for your child’s future.
Emma came to us after being told to wait several months. "The thought of doing nothing terrified me," she said. We had her daughter scanned and fitted in under three weeks. The curve has since stabilised, and her daughter now plays netball weekly.

Real Stories, Real Change
Lucy, 14 – Avoided Surgery
Lucy came to us with a 38° thoracic curve. With early intervention and consistent brace use supported by ScoliBalance therapy, her curve improved to under 30°. She avoided the surgical path that her consultant had initially anticipated.
Tom, 11 – From Anxiety to Confidence
Tom was embarrassed to wear a brace at school. We worked closely with his parents and teachers, ensuring his brace fit invisibly under his uniform. His posture improved dramatically within six months. He’s now one of our most enthusiastic success stories.
Ella, 13 – Making Rapid Progress
After a delayed referral, Ella’s curve reached 45°. Her parents reached out after reading our eBook. Within weeks of starting with us, she had her brace fitted and began ScoliBalance sessions. Six months later, her curve measured 34° and her pain had significantly reduced.

Why Focused Expertise Matters for Your Child
When we say we specialise, we mean scoliosis isn’t one of many conditions we treat; it’s what we do.
Every team member is specifically trained to work with children and teenagers who have spinal curves. That focus means better assessments, faster decisions, and more effective outcomes.
We don’t just manage scoliosis. We work to improve it.
We use advanced scanning technology, custom bracing (ScoliBrace), and targeted physical therapy (ScoliBalance) to deliver the most effective results. As a parent, you deserve clarity and confidence. Our specialisation means you’re not navigating this alone. You’re backed by a team that knows the research, understands the emotions, and acts fast to give your child the best chance at success.

Frequently asked questions
Let us put your mind at ease
Will a brace really help my child’s scoliosis?
Yes — early bracing can reduce curve progression and in many cases help avoid surgery. At Dorsi, we use 3D custom ScoliBraces paired with expert therapy to give your child the best possible chance for improvement.
Is private scoliosis care faster than NHS care?
We understand how hard it is to wait. While NHS care is valuable, many families come to us because we can start assessments and treatment within weeks — not months. Acting early can make a real difference.
Are Dorsi braces uncomfortable or bulky?
Not at all. Our braces are custom-made for your child’s body using flexible, lightweight materials. They’re discreet enough to wear under clothes and built with your child’s comfort and confidence in mind.
How much does it cost?
Your child’s first full consultation, assessment, and 3D scan is just £179. If bracing is recommended, we offer flexible payment options — with many families choosing to spread the cost monthly.
What makes Dorsi different?
We specialise only in scoliosis and related spinal conditions in children and teens. That means our entire team — from clinicians to brace technicians — is trained to handle exactly what your child needs. You’re not navigating this alone.
I’m concerned that wearing a brace will make my child's muscles weak
Our braces are different in that their purpose is to place your child's spine in an overcorrected position. This means that the muscles will be working and they will be retraining.
Would this mean that my child won’t be able to do any sports?
Our aim is to have your child living a life as full as possible. We have many individuals who are able to partake in an active life. Children can normally carry on their normal activities.
