Non-surgical scoliosis care with bracing.
Dr Moira Robertson specialises in scoliosis bracing, a modern, non-surgical approach to managing scoliosis curves and helping prevent progression.
A flexible alternative to rigid bracing.
Unlike traditional rigid braces, this is a flexible bracing system that allows natural movement while gently guiding the spine toward improved alignment. It is worn discreetly under clothing and is custom-fitted to each patient’s unique curve pattern.
Scoliosis bracing offers a well-researched, non-surgical path for growing children and adults living with degenerative scoliosis.
Who benefits from scoliosis bracing.
- Children and teens with idiopathic scoliosis curves
- Adults seeking a non-surgical management option
- Patients wanting to avoid or delay spinal bracing surgery
- Anyone monitoring a curve under regular review

Frequently asked questions.
Is bracing painful?
No. Unlike rigid bracing, this is a soft, flexible system designed to be worn comfortably under clothing, allowing natural movement while gently guiding the spine.
How long will my child need to wear the brace?
Wear time and duration are individual, depending on the curve and how it responds to treatment. This is confirmed during assessment and reviewed at regular follow-up appointments.
Can adults use bracing too?
Yes. While bracing is well known for treating growing children, it is also used with adults seeking a non-surgical option to manage their curve.
Do you treat scoliosis patients traveling from Cape Town and across the Western Cape?
Yes. As an accredited scoliosis brace fitter, Dr Moira Robertson welcomes patients and families from across the Western Cape, including Cape Town, Somerset West, Paarl, and the Northern Suburbs for initial fitting, curve monitoring, and ongoing reviews.
