Transcript

00:00Hello everybody, my name is Lily. I'm seven years old and I've had scoliosis when I was three years old.

00:08And today I'm going to show you how to not be scared of wearing your cast.

00:13And this is my cast. It's shaped like sweets and it's love heart shaped.

00:20What does your cast help you?

00:22It helps me get my back straight and it also helps you not to be bendy.

00:28And then you turn around. I put my hair up like that.

00:34But I'm going to do it like this today.

00:37And then yeah, then we're going to go like this.

00:42Then like that. Put this under your arm.

00:45And then I put my hair down because I've got very long hair.

00:49And then you push big tops in if you've got long tops.

00:55So really we would do this with a vest, wouldn't we?

01:00Yeah, but today I'm showing you how to do it without a vest.

01:06So what do we do now?

01:06So you put them in here like that.

01:12And then me and my mum, well my dad usually does it.

01:19But my mum's going to do it today because my daddy's at work.

01:23So first you put these in here and then you squeeze it and then you have to get it all the way to there.

01:34And it is a bit tight and it will hurt just a little bit.

01:38But today, if you've got a bit like no pressure, ask Donna, my doctor, to put some pressure in.

01:48Like I've got loads of pressure.

01:50Like padding.

01:51And it will help you to be comfortable.

01:53Lovely.

01:54Right.

01:55So what game do you play with daddy?

01:57So you squeeze it and then you get this and you put it all the way to there.

02:06And then mum does it and then this.

02:10That's how you do it.

02:12Give everybody a 12.
