The ossification is not over yet, so the finds out that certain exercises, treatments and particularly an adequate flat laying surface bad - can help for some short period of time. Soon after, she leans towards right side and pretty much stays in that position during the day, which makes her walking and moving extremely painful. Paradox ally she also shows some signs of spinal flexibility (she is capable to bend herself all the way down in hips.) I saw that you have some orthopedic supports for back on your website and wonder if you can give me an advice which one might help my mother to stay in vertical, or at least less painful, position during the day.Regards,Jelena Clemente
