Fitting Instructions
Back wrap has two “belts” to provide a secure fit. The inner belt is larger,
while the outer belt is smaller and more elastic. Wrap is best fitted while
standing. Wrap is most effective when used directly against skin, but it may
also be worn over clothing. Inside of wrap should face body.
1. Wrap inner belt around your back and secure with fastening
material. Make sure outer belt has not been fastened to outside
of inner belt, as this will affect the fit. When fastened, inner belt should fit
comfortably and securely without restricting breathing or circulation.
2. Bring one side of outer belt around and stretch firmly over
stomach. Attach fastener. Repeat with remaining side.
