Self Application
- Put on a clean, snug fitting T-shirt or bodysock. Make sure it is smooth and wrinkle-free. It should extend beyond the edges of the orthosis to protect the skin.
- Spread the orthosis open.
- Place the orthosis onto your body, making sure that the waist indentations line up correctly with your waist.
- Tighten straps to the mark indicated. If the straps are not marked, tighten until the orthosis fits snugly.
