1. It is recommended not to apply bracing to treat patients with curves below 15° ± 5° Cobb, unless otherwise justified in the opinion of a clinician specialized in conservative treatment of spinal deformities.
2. Under 10° of scoliosis, the diagnosis of scoliosis should not be made.
3. Soft Bracing (SB): it includes mainly the SpineCor brace but also other similar designs.
4. Night Time Rigid Bracing (8–12 h per day) (NTRB): wearing a brace mainly in bed.
5. It is recommended that physiotherapeutic scoliosis-specific exercises are performed during brace treatment.
6. According to SOSORT, the use of a rigid brace implies the use of exercises when out of the brace.
7. Current evidence suggests that conservative treatment for scoliosis is effective at stopping curve from progression, as well as improving the curves at skeletal maturity.
8. To stop curve progression at puberty (or possibly even reduce it).
