    Charleston Bending Brace?

    Does anyone have any info about the charleston bending brace? I'm not getting one, but I'm interested in how they work. I don't really get it. It looks like it would make someone more curvy the way that it's shaped! thanks!

    Stephanie. Fifteen.
    Boston Braced Since March 26, 2009.
    2 thoracic curves: 28 and 22 degrees.
    1 lower lumbar curve: 14 degrees.
    One leg is longer than the other; pelvic tilt.
    Curves are reversing in my brace!
    Mother and sister with mild scoliosis,
    and treatment was not required.

    "I am uneven.
    2 Halves.
    1 body.
    A curve.
    So what?
    Mistakes.
    They lie.
    Within.
    My spine.
    I.
    Do not.
    Match up.
    Inside.
    And outside.
    I am uneven."

    Bending Brace

    This brace is usually only used at night while you are sleeping. It is bends the apposing direction of your curves, applying pressure like a day time brace. There was a lot of discussion about the difference between the Charleston brace and the Providence brace. earlier in this forum.
