Upper back and shoulder brace/support.

I have a repaired scoliosis, anterior/posterior spinal fusion, C-D rods, T4-L5. I am having a great deal of difficulty with the area above my fusion and my neck. Specifically, it is very difficult for me to stand up straight and keep my shoulders and neck in proper alignment. I tend to lean forward, and push my neck out. I did look at your posture supports. I am presently trying one which resembles the clavicle support, but that is not helpful. There is a great deal of pressure at the top of the rods at T4 with this type of device. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

This three piece construction immobilzer allows for easy application to a wide variety of leg sizes. Each panel contains its own sewn in aluminum stay for rigid support.
