Dress green with us in June!

As every year, Isico dresses in green throughout June with a particular initiative. During the four weeks of the month, we will launch mini videos with the “Best” of each edition of the Concorsetto, the Isico competition dedicated to those who wear the corset to offer a series of testimonials from those who live with the corset in their daily lives.
Recall that National Scoliosis Awareness Month occurs every June to underline the importance of early diagnosis and public awareness of scoliosis and its prevalence within the community.
Initialised more than a decade ago by the Scoliosis Research Society, the oldest scientific society dealing with scoliosis, founded in 1966, this campaign aims to raise public awareness of scoliosis and related spinal deformities through educational campaigns and the defence of local activities and community events during June and throughout the year.
There is a green ribbon to characterise the campaign throughout the month and a day for this 2021 edition, June 26th, to tell the own story, a personal one or that of a friend or a family member, to spread the awareness of the existence of this pathology.
Everyone can participate in the campaign, just like us at Isico: sharing the green ribbon on the social profile, posting participation or even only a photo or a story are all ways to make this pathology known. Or follow our Social profiles and share our mini-videos “The Best of Concorsetto”, with the hashtag #scoliosisawarenessmonth.
Knowing about scoliosis is already a first important step towards its recognition; the sooner this happens, the better it is to be able to intervene with adequate therapy.
Mark the month of June in green and leave your green mark on June 26th!
