back braces??   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #4064 of 6693 |
Has anyone heard about the "soft back brace" that is adjustable?? I
caught a glimpse of it on TV, but I'm unable to find anything on the
net..I know it probably has a different name...My daughter (Jemma) is
12 and has Marfan's...She has a slight case of scoliosis..It had
actually improved at one time...but I feel it is getting worse now
that they have ban her from all of her sports...

Thanks....God Bless you all...I have gained so much from this site!!
