Scapulothoracic Shoulder Brace
A unique patent protected award-winning medical breakthrough innovation and market leader for improving sports performance, muscle repatterning and recovery.
USED SUCCESSFULLY FOR,
- Improving sports performance, muscle repatterning and recovery in horse riding, golf, mountaineering, skiing, cycling and gym training and the workplace.
- Significantly improves DOMS recovery time.
- Scapulothoracic Abnormal Motion (STAM) or wrong muscle patterning i.e. Scapular Dyskinesis commonly known as winging shoulder blades.
- Acromioclavicular (AC) joint separation grade 1-3 when used within the 10 day inflammatory window.
- All severity of closed clavicle fracture (a broken collarbone that hasn't broken through surface skin).
- A management solution for hyper mobility conditions.
- Scoliosis and the management of degerative shoulder and spinal conditions including arthritis.
- Post cortisone and botox directional procedures ensuring successful muscle repatterning. Available through NHS surgical budgets.
- Aiding rehabilitation and improving recovery time.
- An effective solution where surgery is contra-indicated.
How it works
Bracing components have been integrated and disguised as a gilet style waistcoat eliminating any stigma attached to wearing a brace.
All combine to realign the torso and give essential biofeedback triggering a musculoskeletal reset. Structures are instantly aligned with significant improvement in neuromuscular control, and body symmetry with a reminder of how correct posture should feel.
Shoulder blades (scapulae) are brought into the chest wall, delivering strength to the shoulders and improved range of arm movement.
Posture is transformed with any neck stiffness, pelvic and lower back pain often resolved altogether.
Once re-patterning and new muscle memory has become established the brace need only be worn intermittently, thereby, eliminating any risk of dependency on bracing.
Specially developed highly breathable fabrics prevent overheating making long-term, continuous wear possible when needed.
Components have been cleverly and discreetly integrated throughout the gilet.
DESIGN & COMPONENETS SUMMARY:
- A figure of eight style shoulder retraction system.
- Cut-away design allows forward arm movement.
- High resistance padding at the front of each shoulder protects nerves and blood supply to the arms when tensioning.
- Strategically placed splinting has been sewn into front panels, spine and shoulder blade areas.
- Integrated webbing tightens in an equal and opposite force lifting the diaphragm, drawing back shoulders and controlling the shoulder blades.
- Splinting to either side of the spine supports spinal structures.
- An internal stretch belt keeps the gilet in place when tension is applied at the shoulders.
- Wide stretch pulls fasten forward over the hips to stabilise the pelvis.

Each gilet is made to your specific size. Please provide your waist, hip and length of back measurements as per our how to measure guide.
KEY POINTS
Improves musculoskeletal alignment for better body symmetry, balance, strength, nerve and blood flow.
Stimulates essential bio-feedback for better proprioception and neuromuscular control i.e. improves brain-body connection to your shoulders for an understanding of how 'good posture' should feel.
Suitable for continious and extended wear thanks to the use of specially developed breathable hypoallergenic fabrics.
Powerful components fix and hold shoulder blades (scapulae) down to the chest wall delivering better shoulder function, stability and strength.
Lifts the diaphragm up and away from pelvic activity improving posture, movement and breathing.
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.
Improves performance in sports including, mountaineering skiing, cycling, horse riding and gym training sessions as well as the work environment. Significantly improves DOMS recovery time.
Important adjunct to rehabilitation.
An essential role following cortisone and botox directional procedures for ensuring successful muscle repatterning. Available through NHS surgical budgets.
A management solution for hyper mobility issues.
Successfully resolves Scoliosis and can play a vital role in managing degerative shoulder and spinal conditions such as arthritis.

Why is good posture so difficult to achieve?
Modern living persistently contributes to bad posture and subsequently reduces muscle memory and our ability to hold ourselves upright. This creates an imbalance and places pressure on some muscles making them work harder than their intended use. The result can mean pain and shoulder malfunction.
It may be surprising to learn that our shoulder blades (Sacpulae) dictate the position of our shoulders and responsible for arm strength and range of movement.
Wearing the Thoracic brace helps in establishing good overall body posture thereby overcoming chronic, often debilitating shoulder, pelvic and lowerback conditions.
COPD sufferers can also benefit from wearing the brace by helping lift and expand the diaphragm making breathing easier and reducing steroid puffer use.
