There is now a scoliosis support group in Melbourne for girls who have scoliosis and their parents.

The Curvy Girls began in America and has expanded with groups now in Brazil, Canada and Australia. Their clever slogans say it all “We’ve got your back” and “You are not alone!”. They have also recently produced a book titled “Straight Talk with the Curvy Girls” which can be purchased through their website www.straighttalkscoliosis.com.

A copy lives at our reception area so feel free to have a look while waiting for your consultation. It is an extremely easy read with the right balance between feelings and experiences as well as suggestions and education. Knowledge is power and I can recommend this book as a great starting point for those kids and parents feeling overwhelmed by the diagnosis of scoliosis.
