A device for improving the posture of a patient comprises a garment and a pair of tension straps. The garment is configured to tightly envelop the patient's torso and the patient's upper arms. The garment has an inner surface, a front side, and a back side. The front side includes a chest portion. The back side includes a back portion. The garment defines opposing shoulder portions and a waist portion. The tension straps are releasably securable to the back portion in diagonal relation to one another. Each one of the tension straps has opposed free ends that extend upwardly from the back portion to the chest portion and downwardly to the waist portion. The device includes viscoelastic pads releasably mounted on the inner surface of the garment, generally opposite to the free ends and are configured to restrict movement of the free ends relative to the patient's skin. |
