Yeah, i know what you mean. You can only do so much, yourself.

I could do a lot of taping but not the scapulas. I would have to get someone to do that, usually hubby or therapist. I wore it a long time when i had it on because it was so hard to get it back on. I guess i would cut the middle out and lay back on it a pull from center to the left and center to the right. I guess i would have to use a ball or something to push the center into the spinal column. I think i could do it. Might try it just to see if i can.

Strengthening the scapulas by rolling up a towel and placing in longways, up and down spine, while lying flat on a bed or floor and doing some arm exercises helped me gain a lot of strength. Would describe in better deatil if you want. That's been a while back. It opened up the pecs too.

Bras, well, they seem to trigger muscle spasms. Ugh ! ! ! Being an a cup, i kind would worry too much. Maybe soft sportsbras might do the trick.
