Scoliosis SOS Clinic Reviews 152

I’m 21 years old and suffer with scoliosis. I had 40 hours of virtual treatment, most of my sessions being with Lewis and Max. All the therapists I had sessions with were very patient and encouraging and made sure I was doing the exercises correctly. The whole clinic is very professional and always got back to me quickly if I had any questions or problems. I now have very little back pain, compared to before I started treatment and have seen a massive difference in the appearance of my back and posture. Would highly recommend the clinic.

I am nearly 60 and during my childhood I suffered TB of the spine. After having surgery twice, I was left with scoliosis. As I was getting older I felt my posture was getting very poor and in my mind would only get worse. I spoke with my GP re surgery only to be told the risks outweighed the benefits. I happened to be in Bristol last summer and saw the clinic in Gloucester Road. I went home and read about the clinic. I thought it could be useful for me. I went to London for the initial consultation and completed 65 hours via Zoom with Faine, Isabel and Lewis. These people were truly invested in their work. Faine was especially helpful and patiently corrected my attempts at the exercises. I definitely feel the benefit of the course and friends have noticed the difference in my posture. I now have the tools to keep up the progress I made.

I saw Ella for about 7 months and have only positive things to say about the experience. I now am equipped with all the correct exercises to hopefully keep my back in shape and pain free. Highly recommend the SOS clinic.

Even though they advertise a weeks course for mild scoliosis they would only recommend a 4 week course at £4220, persuaded and pressured into paying a deposit then when questioned the treatment they actually provide is simply physio. No osteopathy, swimming, massage etc like advertised. Unable to get a refund. They prey on desperate parents wanting to help their child. The Manchester clinic is half a room with a partition with someone else the other side, able to peer through whilst children undressing for scanning assessment. Very questionable professionalism and massive safeguarding concerns

My experience with Faine and virtual Scoliosis SOS sessions was wonderful. I chose the virtual Scoliosis Gold alternative to in-person sessions due to Covid travel restrictions from the US, and was able to complete the 65 hours of treatment in the privacy and comfort of home -- just roll out of bed and you're in a therapy session. At age 69, and having been told by doctors that I needed a multi-level spinal fusion, I decided on this treatment first and so far am very glad that I did. The exercises are strengthening and elongating, and they give you confidence that you are more in control of your back than you thought. With Faine's professional guidance, verbal adjustments, and repetition of the instructions, the exercises became an empowering habit and a lifestyle. While 65 hours doesn't miraculously fix a lifetime curve, I would personally rather do 30 minutes of exercise/day for the rest of my life than go through the risks and downtime of fusion surgery. I look a little straighter but I FEEL a lot straighter. I like that Scoliosis is the SOS specialty, since many therapists know little about it, and it's nice to have your condition understood. I'm hopeful that the exercises will stem the curve progression.

My 16 year old son has just completed the 65 week online therapy course. His main therapists were Faine and Lewis, who were both excellent in every respect: carrying out the online sessions which worked very well, communicating with us about the treatment and monitoring and giving feedback about the outcome of the therapy.
There has been a noticeable improvement in my son’s posture and Faine and Lewis have provided an ongoing exercise plan, with follow up sessions to monitor progress.
My son and myself could not be more happy about the care he has received from Scoliosis sos, everyone has been incredibly kind and professional and we would highly recommend the clinic.

3 months ago my scoliosis had become an acute problem and I was in a very bad way both physically and, because of it, mentally, struggling to get out of bed in the mornings. I rediscovered Scoliosis SOS and have been on a course of retraining my body and mind - it's got my body into balance, regained strength and reduced the pain tenfold.Thanks to Scoliosis SOS Clinic and especially Ella I’m now starting for the first time to embrace both the physical and psychological aspects of having the condition and not be constantly trying to hide it from myself and others. I could not recommend Ella as a therapist more. Her attention to all the different nuances of your specific type of curve and tailoring the treatment accordingly is amazing and the upbeatness of the sessions really carried me through. I'm very happy with the results thus far and will be continuing to have sessions with Ella. The passion and enthusiasm of all the therapists at the clinic is very confidence inspiring.

My 15 year old son was identified as having minor spine curvature and noticeable shoulder rounding after hurting himself in the gym. Faine was excellent in identifying that he needed an insert as his legs were different lengths and he needed to strengthen certain back muscles and 're-learn' his posture. We did an intensive course of 10 hours over 3 weeks. Faine worked well with my son to identify the best exercises to do and how to work them in to his regular exercise routine. My son showed marked improvement after the course and the exercise material provided and tuition have helped him to continue the exercises solo. We are very happy with his treatment.

I have been attending sessions at Bristol with Ella and after years of suffering I'm seeing some huge progress already!

Ella is always very thorough and informative, I've been given exercises, stretches and treatments which are unique to my condition and I'm so grateful. I've got some great tools to help me continue improving and I'm sure with some more sessions it can only get better. Thanks Ella and Scoliosis SOS!

I recently completed a 4-week treatment course at the Scoliosis SOS Clinic in London to help prevent back pain triggered by scoliosis. It was a challenging but very fulfilling experience that ultimately left me feeling and looking stronger, more confident and healthier. At the end of the course, I was given a personalized daily exercise plan that I've continued to follow. Not only has the pain not returned, my posture is much better and I can feel the improved strength and health of my back and the rest of my body. The team of therapists at the clinic do a wonderful job of teaching and guiding patients in a way that is supportive, encouraging and positive while also staying realistic and practical. I would highly recommend the clinic.

Ella Morley is an excellent Scoliosis coach

My name is Millie, I am 14 years and 4 months old. I have been taking part in the sos scoliosis gold program before and after surgery and so far it has been amazing. Adam Kroon is my physio therapist and has really helped me to get back up on my feet very quickly. He is really motivating and is always trying to give me a positive look on my journey. For all of the exercises I complete, Adam always has easier ways and ways that can challenge me so every session can be different; the program has been specifically tailored to my needs. I am a swimmer so Adam is trying to get me back into the pool as soon as possible. The exercises we do have really helped with aches and pains. Even though my surgery went really well, I still had a hip shift, uneven shoulders and a slight rotation, the exercises have hugely improved all of these. To the point where you wouldn’t even notice I had scoliosis. I would really recommend this programme to anyone with scoliosis!

I could not praise the scoliosis program enough and in particular my daughters physio, Adam. He has provided support and a huge sense of motivation for Millie. She has felt extremely comfortable to ask any questions and every session she feels like she has made progress. The surgery was amazing, however after, her posture was still slightly uneven and I was concerned that she was be conscious about this. Adam ensured that this did not affect her self-confidence and has helped Millie both physically and mentally. I am so grateful and cannot thank him enough.

My daughter Ellie Mae who is 14 yrs 9 mths has been attending the Bristol clinic for the past two weeks and has been working with both Lewis and Faine the scoliosis specialists, her before and after pictures of just 40 hours of specialist treatment has been incredible we are really pleased with the results, both Lewis and Faine were really lovely and explained everything in detail, thank you so much Lynne (Ellies mum)

I have been benefitting from the guidance of the highly trained team of physiotherapists at the Scoliosis SOS Clinic London for 5 years now. After my initial 2 week training which included a detailed assessment of my particular type of Scoliosis and bespoke exercises set up to meet my needs in terms of strengthening the right muscles and developing good posture I have remained under the umbrella of the organisation, exercising 4 out of 5 days for 35 minutes in total. Initially I returned for sixth monthly assessments of my back and it's progress and expert reviews of my set of exercises. These are always carried out one to one by a therapist. Each time the results have been positive. I no longer get so tired at work, I have greater awareness of what my good posture needs to be like. Each time I am assessed the therapist carefully observes how I carry out the exercises and builds in new challenges and new exercises where necessary. These days my assessments are 9 monthly as my confidence has built around the way I exercise and I book a massage administered by an expert physiotherapist on the team each time.
I initially approached the Scoliosis SOS Clinic at the age of 54 because I was concerned that my back would be very bent in my old age and would prevent me participating in all sorts of activities. The Clinic has taught me that so much can be done to improve things with physiotherapy. I feel so much livelier and more hopeful about the future. The fact that the clinic incorporates the latest research into our exercises and the technical ways in which our backs breathing and wellbeing are measured and assessed encourages me. The fact that the therapists continue to build new challenges into my exercises inspires me to move forward and to believe that my back will continue to become healthier all the time as it has been doing throughout my treatment here.

I have been seeing Sian in Birmingham,

Initially I wasn’t sure of whether this treatment would be appropriate or effective for me, especially as I met her for the first time as she appeared so young to be treating my scoliosis. But as the session progressed
her approach , patience ,knowledge and professionalism impressed me and reassured me that I certainly was in perfect hands.

I not only enjoyed the session, I also felt the benefit of the treatment exercises too. I felt confident and reassured I had made the right choice and Sian was the right person for me. Moreover, I felt that this young girl appeared to be passionate and wanting to develop her career further by researching/providing specific treatment based on my condition.

Having had a few sessions, she has lived up to my expectations and has conscientiously has helped me along, catering for my needs to improve my condition. During my last session she has been able to ease my pain in my neck and shoulders using hands on techniques which has been troubling me for a while.
I look forward to continue with my sessions and see what other strategies I will be using to help my condition!

I am writing this review to highly recommend SOS scoliosis clinic. I would recommend this to anyone who has this condition or has a child with the condition. I went to Bristol clinic in May with my son who has scoliosis, and he was given the best physio exercises which he enjoyed. I absolutely saw a change in his back after 1to1 session of 65 hrs. I thank you Lewis, Faine and Ella the bristol therapist for being the best and not only for exercises but as well for making my son enjoy the sessions. I strongly advise anyone to try this and am happy to book for another session to see more changes. I thank my consultant Georgie for what she is doing and saving many from surgery. Thank you all. May God bless you.
See you again soon
From Jane Scotland.

I first attended the London Clinic late 2016 and completed the 4 week course in February 2017. Since then I have regularly had biannual 2 hour checkups, either in person or online. In addition to scoliosis I also have kyphosis. The course was a watershed for me in significantly improving my condition and overall level of fitness. I have found all the physiotherapists very focused, attentive and eager to help. The only criticism I would have is the rather poor waiting area but perhaps that has been improved since my last visit.

I would thoroughly recommend the scoliosis sos clinic to anyone with this condition. I attended the group intensive course last year and achieved a really good result. I have been back for follow up treatments and to review my programme and have always been impressed by the professional treatment I have received.

I cannot recommend the clinic strongly enough as the treatment I have received has massively improved my back, both in terms of its function and it's appearance.
All the therapists are trained to deal with this specific problem, and you will receive plenty of one to one help with your specific issue.
All the therapists are friendly and supportive and take you through a schedule of exercises you can do at home, with follow up along the way.

I've known the SOS team since 2012 and have found their insights and physiotherapy advice invaluable. I think one of the main things I welcome is the sense of understanding and dedicated specialism that they provide. I'm currently working with Georgie and our sessions, face-to-face or on-line, are invariably informing and reassuring. I would recommend anyone with spinal and/or back discomforts to seek a consultation. You will undoubtedly learn about possible causes, good posture, and how best to manage and alleviate pain.
