Abstract
A therapeutic appliance is securable in an operative orientation around the abdominal region of the body for therapeutically treating the lumbar area and upper portion of the sacrum. The appliance includes an external shell securable about the abdominal region of the body and pouches repositionably attached to the shell for accommodating various types of therapeutic pads. Each of the pouches may be moved or pivoted between a position at which the pad accommodated therein will overlie the lumbodorsal fascia and quadratus lumborum muscles and a second position at which the pad will overlie the erector spinae muscles. In addition, a band-like elastic member is secured to the shell in a manner in which the elastic member may exert tension over the pouches. Opposite ends of the elastic member can be secured at various locations along opposite ends of the external shell so that the tension of the elastic member can be varied. Further, releasable suspender straps are provided to maximize comfort and to minimize the likelihood of user injury caused by snagging of the suspender straps.
