Posture braces for rounded shoulders and upper back alignment

A posture brace is chosen when slumped shoulders, upper back fatigue or poor sitting habits place extra strain through the neck, shoulders and spine. It gently draws the shoulders back and encourages a more upright upper body position.

The Ottobock Posture Brace Dorso Carezza suits rounded shoulders, poor posture, upper back strain and posture awareness during sitting or standing. It sits around the shoulders and fastens at the front for a secure fit. This style is best for posture training, desk work, standing tasks and daily routines where your shoulders drift forward. It is not a rigid spinal brace. It gives your body a clear reminder to return to better alignment.

Shoulder supports and stabilisers for injury and rehabilitation

Shoulder brace stabilisers are designed to keep the shoulder joint in place, providing stability and preventing excessive movement that could worsen an injury. These braces are often used for conditions such as rotator cuff injuries, shoulder dislocation, or after surgeries.

There are also compression sleeves, which are ideal for use during activities, both for an existing or as a preventative measure against future damage. They provide pain relief to the shoulder by delivering compression and increase blood circulation through therapeutic warmth. 

Shoulder supports focus on joint control, warmth, compression and safer movement. They are selected when the shoulder feels unstable, painful, weak or vulnerable after injury.

The Push Med Shoulder Brace Stabiliser gives stronger shoulder positioning after injury or surgery. It suits shoulder instability, soft tissue strain, tendon injuries, rotator cuff related pain, dislocation recovery and rehabilitation. Vulkan and Oppo shoulder supports provide compression and support for active use, sport, work and daily tasks. Choose this group when lifting, reaching, dressing, carrying bags or sleeping on the affected side triggers shoulder pain. A shoulder brace offers more targeted control than a general posture brace.

Arm slings for shoulder, arm and fracture recovery

An arm sling supports the forearm and holds the arm close to the body. It reduces strain through the shoulder, elbow, wrist and upper arm during recovery.

The Vulkan Mesh Arm Sling is a lightweight option for shoulder dislocation, subluxation, sprains, strains, brachial nerve injuries, ligament injuries, upper arm fractures, lower arm fractures and care after surgery. The breathable mesh fabric suits daily wear, especially when the arm needs supported rest rather than active movement. Choose an arm sling when the shoulder or arm needs immobilisation, protection and controlled positioning during healing.

Lumbar Back Braces & Supports - Decompression Back Belts

Decompression back belts are specialised lumbar supports designed to relieve pressure on the spine.They work by stretching the lower back, creating space between the vertebrae, which can help reduce pain and improve mobility. The gradual stretching of the spine takes away stress from the affected disc, allowing the disc to return to normal. Some belts provide additional thermal therapy to help warm up the strain tendons, muscles and bones to provide pain relief. 

A decompression back belt is different from a standard lumbar brace. It uses inflation or traction style support to gently stretch the lower back and reduce pressure through the lumbar region.

The Dr Physio Decompression Back Support Belt and Thermal Decompression Back Belt suit lower back stiffness, compressed disc discomfort, tight muscles, joint pain and general lumbar pressure. The thermal version adds warmth for users who prefer heat around sore muscles and stiff joints. Dr Ho’s Triple Action Back Support also adds inflatable lumbar support and compression around the lower back. Choose this group when you want lower back stretching, decompression and structured support in one product.

Lumbar back braces provide firm lower back support during sitting, standing, lifting, walking and daily movement. It is a stronger choice when the lower back needs compression, stability and improved posture throughout the day.

Push Care, Push Med and Vulkan back supports suit chronic lower back pain, lumbar strain, muscle injury, arthritis, osteoarthritis, abdominal strain, sacro lumbar pain and recovery after surgery when recommended by a clinician. Some styles include adjustable pads, reinforced panels, compression straps or flexible stays for stronger control around the lower back and abdomen. Choose this group when lower back pain worsens with movement, lifting, long periods of standing or poor posture.

Pregnancy and sacroiliac belts for pelvic and lower back support

Pregnancy and sacroiliac belts sit lower than a traditional back brace. They support the pelvis, hips, sacroiliac joints and lower abdomen.

The Vulkan Pregnancy Back Support is worn under the bump and around the hips to reduce strain through the lower back during pregnancy. The Vulkan Sacroiliac Belt targets discomfort in the SI (sacro-iliac) joint, pelvic instability, sciatica symptoms, hip pain and lower spine strain. These belts are also relevant during postpartum recovery when pelvic stability remains an issue. Choose this group when pain sits low across the pelvis, hips or sacroiliac area rather than higher in the lumbar spine.

Neck braces and cervical collars for whiplash and cervical support

Cervical collars, also known as neck braces, are used to support and immobilise the neck. They are commonly used after neck injuries such as whiplash or after surgeries. The collar keeps the neck in a stable position, reducing pain and allowing the muscles and ligaments to heal. 

Cervical collars can be soft or rigid, depending on the level of support and stabilisation required. Soft collars are more flexible by allowing enough movement to perform tasks for everyday use, while semi-rigid collars provide greater stability and are often used in more severe cases where multiple or traumatic injuries are involved.

A cervical collar supports the neck and limits movement through the cervical spine. It is selected for whiplash, neck strain, cervical pain, minor neck injuries, arthritis symptoms or recovery after medical treatment.

The Medpro Soft Cervical Collar gives light support and comfort for mild neck pain or short-term positioning. The Push Care Semi Rigid Cervical Collar gives stronger support with a contoured shape, semi rigid foam, rounded edges and moisture wicking lining. Choose a soft collar for lighter comfort. Choose a semi rigid collar when the neck needs more stability between the jaw and collarbone. For neck injuries, follow your clinician’s advice on fit and wear time.

How to choose the right back, neck or shoulder support

Match the product to the area that needs control. Choose a posture brace for rounded shoulders and upper back alignment. Choose a lumbar brace for lower back stability. Choose a decompression belt for lumbar stretching and spinal pressure. Choose a pregnancy or sacroiliac belt for pelvic and low back support. Choose a shoulder brace for joint instability, soft tissue injury or recovery. Choose an arm sling for immobilisation. Choose a cervical collar for neck support.

If pain affects daily routines, consider related Daily Living Aids, Bathroom Aids, Reaching Aids, Dressing Aids, Walking Aids and Mobility Aids. The right combination reduces strain across the back, neck, shoulder and arms while supporting safer movement at home.
