Hi, I'm Zoë Anastasia,
I'm raising awareness of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
because this is a condition that's affected me suddenly
and was something I previously knew nothing about.
By raising awareness of Scoliosis and the signs to look out for,
I hope to help as many other children as I can get an early
diagnosis. This gives more options for treatment like
physiotherapy and bracing as well as surgery. There's loads of
support on Google and Social Media if you search for it.
These are facts I've learnt about
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis:
1. There's NO KNOWN causes for it.
(can occur in any child during growth spurts)
2. It's not hereditary.
3. Affects up to 10 times more girls than boys.
4. Occurs in 4 % of children.
5. It can develop quickly and worsen rapidly.
6. It can be treated very successfully!

would always recommend. So I take no responsibility or
liability for any action you take as a result of it. I gather and
