A device that can be used for bracing the pelvic region of a patient is disclosed. The device includes a plurality of bracing elements. One or more of the bracing elements include first and second straps and an attachment means. The first strap is detachably connected to the second strap at a first point of interconnection. The interconnection can be moved along the second strap so that the combined length of the first and second straps can be altered. This alteration allows adjustment of the length of the bracing element that can be wrapped at least in part around or about the pelvic region of a patient. The attachment means, in use, can detachably interconnect the second strap directly or indirectly to the first strap so that the bracing element forms a closed loop that can at least partially be wrapped around or about the patient. The attachment means detachably interconnects the first and second straps at a second point of interconnection. The second interconnection can be moved along the first strap to further adjust the length of the bracing element can be wrapped at least in part around the pelvic region of a patient.
