Video transcript:
This is how we turn this piece of plastic into a scoliosis brace which can straighten your spine over a period of time. We use the patient’s measurements and scans to create a mould, which we then drape the thermoplastic over to create a hard 3D shell. And after cutting it out, this is what’s left over.
Senior Technician Joseph, was actually cutting this brace in the background of our AFO manufacturing video.
After that, we then file down the rough edges of the brace, before checking for any other bumps or sharp edges to buff out. We add padding for comfort, as well as Velcro straps to either side.
Then Anna Courtney, Senior Orthotist and Lead Scoliosis Consultant takes over. After a bit more smoothing and buffing, Anna takes the brace down so the patient can try it on, that way we can check that it fits and see how comfortable it is.
Our in-house manufacturing workshop means that if we need to make any more adjustments, our clincians can head upstairs to make those tweaks themselves, rather than having to send them away for a third party to do it.
This patient is having our same-day scoliosis service, where we assess, model and manufacture the brace in the same day. We do an assessment before 10:30 in the morning, and in this case, the brace was actually fitted by 4 o’clock.

Very much so now.
Can you explain how this actually works?
Can you export this from India plz reply bro what is it's cost
Hello! Please send us an email to info@londonorthotics.co.uk and we'll see if we can help
What is cost of this brace
Hi! You can see our treatment pricing here: www.londonorthotics.co.uk/pectus/pectus-treatment/pectus-treatment-costs/
👌🏽🙏🏽
Something doesn’t look right. It should not look like that when tried on.
Hi Angie Yes it does look a bit odd but remember it is a corrective brace, not a passive device. It is designed to correct and reduce the scoliosis curve. Each brace is entirely unique and tailored to the patient’s individual spinal curve pattern. For an adolescent it is also important to leave space for the patient's spine to grow into a more correct position.
May God bless him
This shit got me looking like that one badly drawn captain america from the side profile lol
Well done and he looked so proud ❤
How do you get into the flipping thing once it's moulded?
I used to face lots of criticism. But working out and gaining weight helped me a lot. Now I just look fine and feel more positive.

Is surgury a option for pectus carinatum
Does the gym can fix it too?
If you grow your breast mussels enough it will probably cover it up
Im 28yrs old now,I got polio in 2010 when I was doing grade 7..my mother didn't immunise me well when I was under 5..so I got polio in 2010, when I was 17 years old.. I really regret now that why should my mother immunised me well.. My right leg is getting smaller now. I confirm that it's a polio😢💔😭😭😔😔😭
You poor thing I'm sorry your mother didn't do that for you. I did for my son. Have you gone to the doctor to get the vaccines you haven't gotten? You can get scarlet fever small pox and whooping cough if your not careful

Hello, can a mild rib cage be treated with a brace at the age of 19?
When i was in middle school i fell and hit my chest. It was painful but after it in like 2 years a discovered that i had this
Thank you for this video. My eight year old daughter has a bad case of toe walking, and will be having an MRI and an EMG in a few weeks to try and learn if there might be some underlying cause like CP. Most of the things I’ve seen on the internet about CP are about children with very poor muscle tone instead of tight like you say Emily has. My daughter also has very tight muscles and tendons, especially in her legs and feet. I really appreciate this video which shows another side of CP. I also want to mention to you, that since Naomi will soon be wearing AFOs, I’ve been searching for good shoes for her to wear with them, and have found a company called Billy Footwear which looks very promising. Maybe someone here would benefit from them too.
สวัสดีคับ
I am a female and it is hard to get dressed with the brace because of my breasts.
What is her curve angle now?
I love how quickly and easily PC is being corrected. I’ve been searching everyone online for similar experiences and story’s to mine to get that feeling of not being alone but everything I come across seems pretty mild, I don’t mean any disrespect by that cos I know how mentally damaging living with PC is no matter how mild or bad it is. Just wondering if there are others that aren’t being fixed or can’t be fixed and how they come to accept living with it and whether they go on to live a normal social life? I tried a couple of these yoga positions but I’ve given myself chest tightness trying them where I can only have about half the lung capacity on the left side as I normally would have, this is pretty common for me and clears up within a few days sometimes over night, even simple things like washing hair or putting shoes on can cause this same pain when breathing in. Anyway great video, I admire how much your both helping people fix and overcome PC. Keep it up. 👍
I would check out the "LA Pectus brace" they have helped me so much. As far as if one can mentally heal yes can your confidence increase upon seeing corrective results, yes! God is good and has placed medical professionals to help with our problems, no matter how impossible the problem may seem. 🙏🇺🇸😇❤️
What the two of you are doing is amazing. I’ve been struggling with drug and alcohol abuse for 17 years because of PC and am nearly 31 now. So happy your turning your life around. Just started my own journey 2 weeks ago but pretty sure my chest is too much of a mess to fix. Joined a gym to try and build chest and abs to cover PC but unfortunately there’s a big what I call a dent on left side of my ribs which building muscle will probs make look worse but I’ll give it a go. Only had a couple relapses with bad habits in last 2 weeks but am fully committed to recovery. Really hope you can reach lots of young people before they screw their life’s up. Keep it up. 👍
Hi. How is it going now? Any difference?
Sir pigeon chest ka ilaj ho sakta hai kya
Do you people, have any.,branch,..association.,, Or ties with any Indian Institute, hospital in India?
Can you remember the name of the charity ?
❗ P R O M O S M!!!
I’m 21 years old, and I have grown up with pectus carinatum all my life and have not felt self conscious about it once, in fact, people don’t notice until I point it out. The cool thing about it is that I can move my sternum and it’s a really neat party trick! Maybe my case is lighter than most but I still don’t feel inhibited in my Daly life because of my PC
@@mellowmangomamiz are you gonna get it removed with surgery?
28 too old for the brace ?
Hellow sir I am 25 and my head is flat and forehead backward how can I make my head in normal form
Hello Salim Once the head is fully formed ,normally by the age of 18months, I am afraid there is nothing that can be done for a misshaped head.Best wishes The LOCband Team

hi, is there anyway I can get chest wall braces, I am from Europe. in my country not even doctors know about chest wall braces and they barely know about pectus carinatum.
Sir plz reply I have pigeon chest problem my right side chest is out
Where are you from? Brother
about to be 36 in 7 days. if I knew this existed in the 90's I would have done it a long time ago. XP LOL!!! sigh..... still, there's probably no hope for me. weightlifting seemed to help a little bit. :)
Hi Do you feel you have any flexibility in your chest wall? Some adults do and as a result the Vacuum Bell can have an effect alongside some specific exercises. Best wishes The LOCpectus Team
Where can I find Sean on social media? Would love to have a chat with him before going forward with this
Can I get this brace I'm from India 😭😭😭
My pectus carinatum allows me to move my chest bone, it’s a really cool party trick and I’m not even self conscious about it. I never have been, most people can’t even tell unless I bring it up
how do you download it Any tips?
I can also do that lol
