Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an upper back brace and a posture corrector?

An upper back brace has a back panel and belt that support the spine. A posture corrector is mostly shoulder straps that pull the shoulders back.

Suggested: Brace Align TLSO Thoracic Back Support Brace

Can I wear an upper back brace under clothes?

Many lighter styles fit under a loose shirt or sweater. Firmer TLSOs are bulkier and are easier to wear over a thin T-shirt.

Which brace covers the middle back?

A TLSO. It runs from the hips up to the shoulder blades, so it covers the middle back, while a lower back brace stops at the waist.
