Putting RecoveryAid OnIf you are having trouble getting your RecoveryAid on, or reaching the shoulder straps, try connecting the ends of the Scapular Correction Straps to the ends of the Abdominal Engagement System. This will create a temporary vest that is easy to get on and helps guide the components to their correct positions.

Incorporating RecoveryAid Into Your Daily RoutineRecoveryAid is going to change how you sit and stand. Since you've been doing both for a while now, it is best to ease your body into the change. You'll only want to wear your RecoveryAid for one hour the first day of use, and then add an additional hour of wear each consecutive day until your body has fully adjusted to wearing RecoveryAid. Routine use should include 4-8 hours of wear during some part of everyday.
Washing Your RecoveryAidYour RecoveryAid is machine washable. Any rigid panels will need to be removed, and it is important not to use fabric softener as that can deteriorate the elastic components. Wash in cold water and let air dry.
