The Scapular Gilet
Introducing the revolutionary scapular gilet, engineered to beneficially affect shoulder blades - correcting shoulder movement, strengthening shoulder structures, improving arm range - and crucially, offering pain relief.
Importantly, the gilet provides vital biofeedback enabling the wearer to correct wrong shoulder movement, and is particularly useful for shoulder malfunction such as, Scapular Dyskinesis, otherwise known as winging of the shoulder blade(s).
Through a series of components, this specially designed gilet style waistcoat, can provide a non-surgical solution for those wanting to maintain an active and independant lifestyle.
Research by Harley Street consultant and shoulder specialist Mr Ian Bayley explains how important it is to identify wrong shoulder positioning and the consequences of ignoring it.
Scapular Gilet Key Points
Accredited by leading consultants and practitioners.
Beneficial for shoulder and spinal injury rehabilitation and post-surgery use.
Suitable for extended continious wear without creating dependency.
Powerful components hold shoulder blades (scapulae) close to the chest wall delivering better shoulder function, stability and strength.
Improves musculoskeletal alignment for better balance, strength and nerve and blood flow.
Stimulates essential bio-feedback for better proprioception and neuromuscular control i.e. a better brain-body connection and knowing where your shoulders are and an understanding of how 'good posture' should feel.
Lifts the diaphragm up and away from the pelvis, reducing strain at the lower back.
Allows freedom of movement, including arms reaching upwards, backwards and forwards.
Does not cut-up at the underarms or compromise blood supply to the arms or place pressure on nerves.
Can be worn during sports activities and gym training sessions.
Made from specially developed highly breathable technical fabrics and suitable for long term continious wear.

Medical findings
Our studies indicate that by wearing the gilet for as little as two days consecutively, muscle patterning and musculoskeletal alignment can be significantly improved.
Within as little as 20 minutes of first wearing, tension in the shoulders and neck disappears.
Even after removing the gilet good shoulder and scapular position, and good posture is retained. How long this improvement in muscle memory lasts varies from one individual to another. It is recommended to use the gilet on an off off basis to ensure success.
It is particularly useful as a diagnostics tool. An example, chronic pain presenting in the pelvis was found to be due to Scapular Dyskinesis (shoulder blade winging).
The gilet is also known to alleviate back and sciatic nerve pain. COPD sufferers have benefitted resulting in reducing their steroid puffer use.
Sports professionals report faster recovery time from muscle soreness after competitions, known as delayed-onset muscle soreness [DOMS].

WHY IS GOOD POSTURE SO DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE?
Our shoulder blades dictate the position of our shoulders and shoulder blades have few mechanoreceptors (the means by which the brain connects to them), meaning, we don't know where our shoulders are in space.
Modern living has increased the prepencity for malfunctioning shoulders and for those with less appetite for surgery, the gilet approach, together with physiotherapy can be a life-changer.
