Gensingen Brace Weiss
The Gensingen Brace Weiss, which is reshaping how we approach scoliosis care, and has proven to be extremely effective in the majority of cases as a treatment.
What Makes The Gensingen Brace So Special?
The Gensingen Brace Weiss stands out because it’s designed around the unique needs of the person wearing it. It isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution but rather a bespoke brace that fits the contours of a patient’s body, aiming to correct the spine’s alignment in a way that’s both effective and comfortable. It is typically worn anywhere between 18 – 20 hours a day.
How Does A Gensingen Brace Work?
Technologically advanced
Every brace is tailor-made, which ensures that it’s not only effective in correcting spinal curvature but also comfortable enough to wear daily. This customisation process begins with detailed 3D body scans that capture an accurate anatomical blueprint of the patient.
Enhanced wearability
Made from lightweight, mouldable polyethene, the Gensingen brace is considered comfier than most other traditional braces. The result is that it increases patient compliance, meaning the brace is worn more often and is, therefore, more effective at treating scoliosis.
Psychological benefits
The impact of scoliosis extends beyond the physical. Wearing a bulky, uncomfortable brace can affect a person’s self-esteem and social interactions. The Gensingen brace, with its discreet design and improved comfort, helps mitigate these concerns. Patients generally report feeling more confident and less self-conscious, which is a significant step forward in holistic scoliosis care.
Highly effective at improving scoliosis

Active engagement from the patient
Another critical component of the Gensingen brace’s effectiveness is its ability to encourage active patient engagement in their treatment. Unlike traditional braces that passively attempt to hold the spine in place, the Gensingen brace is designed to work in tandem with the patient’s movements and physiotherapy exercise plan.
Gensingen Brace Weiss FAQs
Still not sure about a gensingen brace? Here are some of our most frequently asked questions
What results are expected with a Gensingen brace?
Results can vary depending on the stage of development, age at diagnosis, spinal flexibility, curve pattern and other factors that influence bracing outcomes. In general, younger children find better success than older children due to the increased spinal flexibility that comes at younger ages.
Can a Gensingen brace be used in combination with physical therapy?
Yes! The success of the Gensingen brace is significantly elevated when combined with physiotherapy, such as the Schroth method.
What is the Schroth method?
The Schroth method is a non-surgical treatment that involves exercises to help the spine return to a more natural position. The goal of Schroth exercises is to strengthen, de-rotate and elongate the spine. Addressing both the physical and functional aspects of the condition can help improve posture, increase muscle strength and reduce the severity of scoliosis.
Can a Gensingen brace be used for cerebral palsy clients?
A Genisngen brace isn’t routinely used with clients affected by cerebral palsy; these clients tend to require a neuromuscular brace but each client is assessed individually and recommendations will be made according to their personal needs.
