We are just about to start our son on a bracing programme for asymmetrical PC. He will have both brace and rib flare band. He's 13yo and PC is relatively mild, so we may only need to wear 10-12hrs a day (nights) but for a longer period as he's only just started his growth journey....

Any advice on making this the most comfortable experience as poss or avoiding any pitfalls be gratefully appreciated.

Would welcome to hear how it's gone if you've finished treatment?

Thanks - #tryingnottoworrytoomuchmum

Interested because my son has PE and hasn't been offered treatment

How are you both getting on? Mine was diagnosed today. We have been referred to a physio with a review in 6 months.
