Upper Back Brace
Upper back pain can be a familiar feeling for people who've had previous back injuries. A deep ache that sits across the shoulders or around the neck can have you longing for relief. Wearing an upper back brace can give stability and unloading to the spine, relieving pressure on the discs and allowing you to move comfortably without worrying about each and every step.
What exactly is my upper back?
Your spine is divided into four parts, the cervical (your neck), the thoracic (your torso), the lumbar (your waist) and sacral (your lower hips and pelvis). The upper back is made up of the first two, extending from the base of your ribs up to the top of your neck.
Will this make my muscles weaker?
Reliance is certainly something to be wary of, but Bauerfeind has developed a range of supports to allow as much muscle movement as possible while still supporting the necessary areas. Combining brace-wearing with proper exercise and physiotherapy is your best remedy for relief and recovery.
Can I claim back on private health for these?
Each and every health insurer has different levels of coverage with different conditions. While our supports are often successfully claimed back on by many of our customers, it changes depending on your insurance provider, and it's best to contact them and check your plan to see.
How do I take care of these products?
Virtually all of our products can be machine washed on a cold gentle cycle and air dried out of direct sunlight. Putting them on and taking them off carefully is recommended, and for specific product care, refer to the product manual or contact our friendly staff.
