Default TOS Brace

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for an alternative to the brace that Dr Newkirk has been in the process of designing for quite some time. Has anyone worn or devised a brace that could be used as an alternative? Might taping the shoulder provide the same results? I see that Towelhorse mentioned a brace of some sort but I haven't been able to visualize how it works.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for? sorry the link ended up in the title. Not good at this. But if you go to page 2 the title is arm brace in the subject and all kinds of info there.


Hope this helps, G-Mom2

Default TOS posture brace

Thanks G-Mom2. This might be helpful for some post surgery or for frozen shoulder. But the TOS brace I'm talking about is designed to correct the posture; it corrects for the rounded shoulders I think.

Default posture Brace

the one he refers to is still not available yet. I don't expect it will be ever or for a very long time. I'm looking for an alternative to see if I could find something that could relieve either the pec minor or scalenes.
