Relief and support is a basic principle when treating injuries and excess stress
as they considerably accelerate the healing process and prevent resulting health
damages.
The BORT Generation Osteoporosis Brace counteracts kyphosis in the thoracic
spine region by activating back muscle, improves the posture and supports the
strengthening of the muscles.
Instructions for use for the patient:
The brace should be worn directly over the clothes. Pay attention to avoid creasing
the clothes in the vicinity of the brace as this can result in pressure sores.
