Core

Getting supportive comfort for your Shoulders, Ribs, Back and Hips starts with getting the CORE Braid. To extend this benefit to your legs or arm, you can add the LEG Straps or ARM Braid below. 

The CORE Braid comes in three sizes. The Regular is a "one size fits most." It is highly adjustable to fit the wide range of people weighing between 100 to 300 Pounds / 45 to 140 Kgs. For people weighing 90-110 pounds (40-50 Kgs) with narrow shoulder, we make a XSmall/Narrow Shoulder size and for people weighing 220-350 Pounds (100-160 Kgs) with Broad shoulders we make a XLarge/Broad Shoulder size.

The Body Braid is a posture support and trainer. The straps reinforce the function of our internal connective tissue (tendons and ligaments.) It supports the shoulders back and down in their most stable and strongest position while still allowing full range of movement. This is something that benefits most of us who have developed posture habits of shoulders rolled forward.

The Core Braid is the core of the Body Braid system and it supports our body's core, including shoulders, back, ribs, pelvis and hips. The Leg and Arm elements can be added to include those parts of the body. Many people find wearing the Body Braid helps them feel better with less strain, less pain, and more aligned, coordinated movement. This is especially the case for people with Hypermobility where connective tissue is weak.

The Core Braid is simple and easy to use for sitting, which is where we all need it the most. Our bodies did not evolve to sit in chairs and sitting is the basis of many healthy problems. Using the Core Braid for sitting is simple and easy. Learning to rearrange the straps to wear it for any activity takes some patience and practice.

Getting better core alignment is essential before taking on the challenge of learning to work with the Leg or Arm accessories. Many people with hypermobility find learning to get the best custom fit is well worthwhile for the comfort, pain reduction and decrease in fatigue they feel.
