The term “round shoulder” syndrome is self explanatory and can lead to many problems. Teenage women are particularly prone to this problem due to self consciousness related to body development and maturation.

Put simply, your transverse abdominal muscle (or your TA) is part of the muscle group in your abdomen – they are vital to core strength and stability. In some cases however, for instance when you’re injured or pregnant, your TA’s can be out of action. A back brace effectively takes the place of your TA’s during your recovery or pregnancy, ensuring that your back stays supported throughout. This passive support remains in place until your TA’s can be re-educated or rehabilitated to normal function. The back brace is also invaluable as an extra support for people working with extremely heavy weights.
Tennis or golfers elbow are terms commonly used for tendon injuries around the elbow. The elbow brace helps relieve pain from these conditions by reducing the “shearing” force and decreasing the load on the damaged tendons. The moulded half oval plastic brace is secured by an elastic strap and is a valuable tool in the management of injured elbows.
Damage to the patella or knee cap after an injury causes the supporting (medial and lateral) ligaments to become damaged and weak. The hinged Knee stabiliser which is made of a material unlike wet suit fabric combined with metal supports is invaluable in the treatment and prevention of patella displacement – in other words, a dislocated knee cap or partial slip. The knee stabiliser provides support, protection and stability. It also helps to retain body heat by increasing blood circulation which can assist healing and is also ideal for the relief of pain from tendonitis and arthritis.
If your physiotherapist has recommended a Cho-Pat Knee Strap then you’ll know all about Chondromalacia Patella. Basically the normal movement of the knee cap in the knee has become abnormal causing excessive force or pressure and wearing on the undersurface of the knee cap. This leads to irritation of a portion of the knee cap, inflammation, degeneration and pain. The Cho-Pat Knee Strap places pressure on the tendon below the kneecap helping guide the knee into its normal movement. It also elevates the kneecap slightly which further relieves harmful pressure.
