Essentials of Scoliosis Bracing Online
In this evidence based, online course, learn introductory knowledge related to bracing for scoliosis and hyperkyphosis.
Are you a health professional with a special interest in treating scoliosis patients with bracing?
Bracing for scoliosis and kyphosis is supported by strong scientific evidence to prevent surgery, and in some cases improve curves. This online course is designed to provide health and medical professionals an introduction to scoliosis bracing and the prescription of bracing within an entire management approach.
