It is designed to provide support and compression to the rib cage and upper torso, commonly used for rib fractures, sternum injuries, post-surgical recovery, or general chest discomfort.
How does it help with rib injuries?
The chest support helps by limiting painful chest movement, stabilizing the area, and promoting faster healing while allowing shallow breathing for safety.
Can both men and women wear it?
Yes. Most rib belts and chest braces are unisex and come with adjustable designs to comfortably fit different body types. However, there may be specially contoured versions for women for added comfort.
Is it safe to wear while sleeping?
Not typically recommended for overnight use unless advised by a doctor. It may restrict breathing or cause discomfort during extended sleep hours.
How long should I wear it each day?
Wear it as recommended by your physician or for 4–6 hours during active periods. Avoid wearing it too tightly or for extended durations without breaks.
Is this suitable for post-surgical recovery?
Yes, especially after thoracic surgeries, breast surgery, or sternum-related procedures. Always follow your doctor’s recovery guidelines.
Do I need a prescription to use this?
No, but it’s best to consult your healthcare provider to ensure this product suits your specific condition or recovery plan.
What are orthopaedic rehabilitation products used for?
These products are used to support recovery from fractures, ligament injuries, joint replacements, spinal issues, and muscle strain. They help immobilize, stabilize, or support specific body parts during the healing process.
Who should use these products?
They are ideal for patients recovering from orthopaedic surgery, sports injuries, chronic pain conditions (like arthritis or spondylosis), or undergoing physiotherapy or rehabilitation.
Do I need a prescription to buy these products?
Most ortho rehab products are available over-the-counter. However, for serious conditions or post-surgical use, always follow your doctor or physiotherapist’s recommendation.
Can I use these products during exercise or physical therapy?
Yes. Many ortho rehab tools are designed to aid safe movement and prevent further injury during light exercise, physiotherapy, or rehabilitation sessions.
Will it relieve pain or just offer support?
These products do both. They reduce strain on injured areas, promote better posture, and support healing—which helps relieve pain over time.
How do I choose the right product for my condition?
Refer to the product description and size chart, and if unsure, consult a doctor, physiotherapist, or orthopaedic specialist for the correct fit and product type.
