Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I tighten it so it feels secure without discomfort?
Fasten the velcro to a comfortable tension first, then adjust in small steps until you feel a stable hold. It should not restrict breathing or create strong pressure points on the skin.
What are the ergonomic pull handles used for?
The pull handles help you guide the belt into the correct position and control the adjustment more easily, especially when you apply it on your own or need extra precision while fitting.
What should I pay attention to for daily comfort and safe use?
Check the skin regularly for irritation, avoid over-tightening, and wear it according to professional instructions. If you feel strong discomfort, numbness, or persistent pressure, loosen the fit and seek guidance.
