Hi all, I hope everyone's keeping well.
I'm just looking for a small bit of advice. I posted about this before but would like to know if there's any other opinions on it.
I noticed some time ago that my daughter's spine is not in the centre, the lower part of it. It looks as if it goes to the right and comes back to the centre again, like the lower half of an 's'. She's 13.
As it's summer now she's wearing a lot of short tops so that part of her back is exposed. I have found myself not looking at her back on purpose, mainly because I was too scared of what I'd see. But I looked this evening and it's definitely not centered.
I said it to my husband and he said he'd have a look, which he did (obviously without my daughter knowing it). He agreed it is a bit off centre and said maybe we should mention it to a doctor (he doesn't suffer from HA).
I remember when I was 12, all of the girls in my class in school were checked for scoliosis. But they seem to have stopped doing that now, not sure why. I'm not saying she has scoliosis but is it very common in girls her age and how bad can it get?
And I know we are not symmetrical but the spine is something that I feel should be down the centre.
I'm just wondering if anyone has got any opinions on this. I'm actually managing to stay a bit calm about it but I want to do what's right. I don't want my daughter to find out in years to come that it's something that should have been looked after when she was a teenager but I didn't say anything because I was mixing up HA with the right decision.
