Bracing Meet-Ups
In October, we launched our new monthly Scoliosis Bracing Group, a meet-up space designed to bring together patients who are navigating scoliosis bracing and to foster a sense of community, support, and shared understanding. Our first session was a great success, featuring games, crafts, and bingo, along with plenty of snacks and conversation.
Participants had the opportunity to connect with others who understand what it’s like to wear a brace, share tips and personal experiences, and learn that they’re not alone in their journey. These groups aim to promote not only social connection, but also emotional well-being and confidence while managing scoliosis treatment.
We’re excited to continue hosting these sessions each month and will be introducing rotating themes and activities to keep each meeting engaging and inclusive. We look forward to seeing even more of our bracing patients join in future gatherings! Stay tuned to hear about our November group!
