Posture Corrector

Poor postural habits can negatively affect the spine if untreated. The Posture Brace Dorso Carezza by Ottobock is an effective posture corrector which provides custom support to the upper back and spine to gently align the shoulders, encourage correct posture, and help reduce pain and discomfort. The easy- to-wear design is simple to apply and adjust, just like a backpack, with additional side tabs to control the support.

The posture corrector helps correct slouching and hunching - habits of long periods of time behind the computer - to provide positive muscle memory of a healthy shoulder and spinal position. Just as a posture training support. The brace supports muscular stabilisation of the thoracic spine and actively straightens it.

Adjustable, elastic straps are used for individual compression and to adjust how firmly the support fits. Coil springs stabilise the back of the one-piece support.

Various aspects ensure pleasant wearer comfort: the breathable, skin-friendly material keeps the skin of the user dry, so that the support can also be worn for longer periods of time.

The support features a very slim design that makes it inconspicuous under clothing. The anatomical shape ensures an optimum fit.
