22.01.2022 Hello All I will be in Melbourne in the week beginning 18th November. I will be meeting with Susan Willis, President of Scoliosis Australia to find out what is happening around Australia concerning scoliosis issues. If it is ok with Susan Ill post a summary of our discussion at this site after our meeting.

22.01.2022 Wishing you all a Happy New Year in 2015 from very hot Perth - 44.4 degrees yesterday. For those people wearing braces in this weather you are an inspiration to us all.

22.01.2022 Hi, I sent a letter to Penrhos College asking that together we organise an information night about scoliosis. They wrote back and said the P & F had very small numbers and that next year we might be able to organise this event with another P & function. Im going to try my old school Kent Street High School. Hope everyone is ok and you saw our great photo in the latest Scoliosis magazine.

21.01.2022 Have you found any useful websites or books about scoliosis that you would like to share? Tell us here http://www.facebook.com/topic.php

19.01.2022 Hi I meet with Susan Willis in Melbourne during November of last year. We had a lovely chat. She said there was a good website at www.curvygirlsscoliosis.com. This is for young girls with scoliosis. I hope I have the correct name. Has anyone had a look at this? What do you think of this site? We agreed to have a campaign that targets doctors to encourage them to check young people for scoliosis. I will write to the AMA in WA about this. Unfortunately, they dont do this test...ing in WA schools now. There may be some conferences on scoliosis in Australia coming up. If anyone hears about these can you please let us know? We talked about some theories about the causes of scoliosis. There is some theory that head trauma is a possible cause. I havent heard about this before. If anyone wants to add to this can you please do so?

07.01.2022 Hello All I hope you are not too busy over the Christmas period. I have been asked a question about the Schroth method for back maintenance. What is it? Can anyone share their experiences with using this approach? ... Is there a clinic in Perth that practices this method? All the best for a wonderful Christmas season. Murray

07.01.2022 On Sunday, the 4th March, a small number of scoliosis association members met at a local Chinese restaurant in Willeton. A number of apologies were received including Jennifer Rennie, Stella Tan, Abi Poulton and family, Rachel and Steve. Rachel and Steve were busy preparing for their wedding in a couple of weeks time. We wish them all the best for a wonderful day. We had a lovely time at the restaurant. It was Annas 16th birthday so this made it very special. She and her fri...end enjoyed fried ice cream with chocolate syrup of cause! Another one of the younger members decided to try for the first time, ice cream and Chinese pancakes. I was speaking to one of the parents and we discussed a number of ongoing issues in W.A. The lack of awareness amongst GPs concerning scoliosis, the lack of testing of young people for scoliosis by Health authorities, the shortage of specialist scoliosis surgeons. I wonder if similar issues occur in other States. I was told that the Shenton Park Rehabilitation facilities were going to close down and move to the new Fiona Stanley Hospital. However, there were concerns about whether there were going to be facilities for back operations at the new hospital. I will follow this up with the relevant authorities. Im sure we all had a good time especially eating the desserts. Ill be in contact about some ideas to raise awareness of scoliosis in the community.

06.01.2022 Can anyone recommend good chat sites for teenages dealing with scoliosis and bracing?
