The AngelMed Scapular Gilet
Designed and trusted by surgeons as a frontline treatment for shoulder, spinal and pelvic conditions. Suitable for treating clavicle fractures, post shoulder surgery protection or as an alternative to surgery, scapular dyskinesis or simply to improve posture.
This patented close-contact gilet-style vest uses cleverly integrated components to exert powerful control over musculoskeletal structures. Shoulders are instantly brought into correct alignment, shoulder blades (scapulae) are locked down, and simultaneously shoulder strength and range of movement is improved. The diaphragm (chest) is also lifted, the spine straightened and pelvis stabilised.
Biofeedback is a critical feature of the gilet giving you a sense of 'how good posture should feel'. After several days of wearing new muscle memory develops, and is retained, with *self-correction possible without wearing the gilet.
Note: muscle memory fades and it will be necessary to wear the gilet to re-establish good posture again.
*Self -correction will depend on the reason the gilet is being worn. In the case of injury (i.e. clavicle fracture) or for post shoulder surgical procedure, the gilet will be worn for longer.
Research by London consultant and shoulder guru Mr Ian Bayley illustrates how important it is to identify wrong shoulder action and the consequences of ignoring it. Scapular Dyskinesis (winging shoulder blades)
The AngelMed Scapular GiletKEY POINTS
Successfully treats Scapular Dyskinesis (winging shoulder blade(s), all closed clavicle (collarbone) fractures, including those normally surgically plated, skeletal deformity and many other injuries and conditions of the torso.
Accredited by leading consultants and practitioners.
Stimulates essential bio-feedback for better proprioception and neuromuscular control i.e. a better brain-body connection and knowing where your shoulders are together with an understanding of how 'good posture' should feel.
Suitable for continious and extended wear thanks to the use of specially developed breathable fabrics.
Powerful components fix and hold shoulder blades (scapulae) down to the chest wall delivering better shoulder function, stability and strength.
Improves musculoskeletal alignment improving body symmetry balance, strength, nerve and blood flow.
Lifts the diaphragm up and away from pelvic activity, improving posture and easing strain in the lower back.
Allows freedom of movement, including arms reaching forwards upwards and backwards. Does not cut-up at the underarms or restrict blood supply to the arms or cause pressure on nerves.
An important posture correction device for use in the office, driving, and when lifting and twisting the torso.
Can be worn to improve performance during sports activities and gym training sessions. Used by athletes for muscle correction and after competitions to improve recovery time.
Proven as an important adjunct to rehabilitation therapy, as a post-surgery safeguard, and as an effective solution where surgery is contra-indicated.
Modern living persistently contributes to bad posture with subsequent muscle memory reduction. Wearing the vest reintroduces 'a good posture habit', avoiding chronic pain and debilitating conditions.
Also particularly useful for back and sciatic nerve pain.
Known to alleviate COPD, reducing steroid puffer use.

In as little as 20 minutes, tension in the shoulders and neck disappears. Pain is significantly reduced and is often resolved altogether. Wearing the vest for as little as two days consecutively can affect muscle memory and significantly improve posture.
Even after removing the vest good posture is retained. Muscle memory improvement varies from one person to another.

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 persistently contributes to bad posture increasing the incidence of shoulder malfunction. Wearing the gilet and, if possible, combining it with physiotherapy, can be a life-changer helping avoid those painful bouts.
