Hi Linda,
Thanks for the link to the article, I found it informative and interesting. I was especially interested in the authors comments about brace treatment falling out of favor over the last 20 years due to lack of proof that it is effective, and also the section about likelihood of adult progression based on curve measurement at skeletal maturity.
Richka, sorry to post on your thread--I really hope you can find some help and relief with PT.
Best regards,
