GUIDELINES TO FITTING AND WEARING

BEFORE USING THE BRACE:

We advise customers to consult a qualified practitioner (such as a physiotherapist or doctor) to establish its suitability and appropriate wearing times for your specific condition as these may vary from person to person depending on the nature of each individual’s postural problem.

If for any reason the brace is not considered suitable you need only return it within 28 days of receiving it to receive a full and no quibble refund.

PUTTING THE POSTURE SUPPORT BRACE ON:

Put the 2 long velcro straps through the 2 rectangular metal buckles on the back of the brace.  Fix the straps to the velcro fastening on the outside of the straps (Before threading the straps ensure the small label with "Remecare" is on the outside of the brace, not against the body).

Put the brace on by putting your arms through the two loops with the triangular section at your back with the flat part of the triangle at the base.

Do this initially with the straps quite loose.  Once the brace has been fitted the wearer can shorten or lengthen the straps by lifting the straps and repositioning them on the velcro fastening.

USING THE POSTURE SUPPORT BRACE

Do not wear too tightly:

The brace should not be too tight so as to cause any discomfort.  Its purpose is not to forcibly hold the users shoulders back, but rather to exert gentle pressure that in turn encourages the wearer not to slouch.  The purpose of  a posture correction brace is to encourage the wearer to adopt good posture using their own muscles.

Do not wear for too long:

It is not advised that the brace be worn for longer than 3 hours at any one time.   Its purpose is to help train your muscles to adopt a new position, which in turn helps improve posture.  At the same time you need also to give your muscles the opportunity to hold this posture without support. 

Avoid over reliance on the brace:

Use of the brace for prolonged periods (i.e. more than 3 hours continuous use) will tend to have the effect of providing support that the body becomes used to and relaxes into.  In effect, the brace begins to do the work of your own back and neck muscles.  Over time, this is liable to result in their weakening. This of course is the exact opposite of what is intended.
