ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic back harness is provided for alleviating muscle and back pains. The harness is comprised of a wide flexible belts having some degree of stiffness and substantial padding. The belt is fitted above the breast and under the arm pits of the user in such a manner that when connected to an elevated support, such as a ceiling, the weight of the user is borne by the belt and pads under the arms at the arm pit area. Padding sections on the belt provide a thickness such that the user can support upper portions of the arms on the belt to share the body load upon the back. A second belt may be fitted around the waist of the user and connected to the upper wide belt by flexible straps to share the weight load of the user. When the body of the user is fully supported by the aforementioned belts, strain and tension on the back and back muscles can be used to alleviate back and back muscle pains and soreness.
