  • Does anyone here have a Cheneau Brace??

    I was wondering if there are some people on this forum thats has a cheneau brace and had it made by Dr. Rigo in Barcelona. If you have a chenuea brace please tell me.. i would really like to be able to communicate with you and possibly ask some questions. I know most of the people here have a boston brace.. and thank you to the people that helped me with some questions.. but i would also like to have someone that has the same brace as me and so we can share experiences! Thank you soooooo much!!

      HI scoliogirl,
      my daughter has been in the Cheneau since June, Luke made it, I believe you guys communicated a few times via email.. I hope you are well. My daughter is 14 and we have just returned from Milwuakee where she did Scroth therapy... WE have good results even now, and hope for more. hope your exercises are going well !

        Helen,
        How long did you stay in Wisconson with your daughter for the Schroth therapy? Will you need to go back there for follow-up? There is a Schroth clinic five minutes from my house in Maryland, but they are not accepting patients at this time. My daughter has not started any therapy, but we are considering it for the future.

          We have taken my 14-year-old daughter for 2 weekends of Schroth therapy/training sessions since Feb 1 (10 hours each weekend) and have seen positive results.

            Cheneau brace

            Hey! I'm 16 years old and have been wearing a Cheneau brace for about 3 years. One of mine was made by Dr. Rigo when he was here in WI. My other two were made by Luke in Wash. DC. I am trained in Schroth PT by Cindy Marti in Milwaukee, WI where I live. Please feel free to contact me! I love hearing from people w/ the same brace as me! My e-mail is RueschR@dsha.k12.wi.us

            Hey, so I'm Rebecca, I'm 20 and I wore a Boston Brace for one year, and then a Cheneau brace for 5+ years. The Cheneau changed my life. I now am out of brace full time!!!! Its amazing. For all my scoli-girls (and guys of course) hang in there - the day you get your brace off is the best feeling ever. All the years of wearing it won't matter when that day comes. amo vobis!
